I think trump missed the timing for capitulation as you put it. Should’ve hit when the uprisings were happening. There’s a segment of the population that’d like to go back to an earlier time. There’s been several documentaries showing this. The hardcore extremist are in charge and thing they understand is death. Give it to them

Iran has sponsored the extremist donuts past time to pay.

I’ve said it before
Trump thinks they’ll be an uprising. That’s the only thing to make sense as to why infrastructure is being avoided for total destruction.
