We could achieve "peace for our time"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_for_our_time

If you don't like making those kinds bargains in the future, maybe next time don't upset the status quo[1] by starting a war that you then go on to lose[2], which forces you to bargain from a position of weakness.

Everyone in the DoD with triple-digit IQ knew that this would be the most likely outcome of starting a war with Iran, but all of those people got purged by Trump last year.

[1] The status quo was that Iran was not in control of the strait, and all shipping traffic could pass through it.

[2] Iran has so far accomplished it's objectives in the war, the US and Israel did not. It didn't get regime-changed, and its in now in control of the strait.


All peace is transient, the question is for how long per unit of investment of blood, treasure, and time. Invest efficiently.
