I'm a bit sick of the poker table metaphor.

It's a war, not a game. Even if the stakes were the same, the rules and the strategies are totally different.

The main reason Trump has stuck the US in this nonsense is because his point of view is the one of a poker player or a businessman, which is a totally absurd take on it.

War is not logical, is not simple, is not a matter of pressing. It is highly illogical, wildly chaotic, and there is no way those morons at Washington are going to fix it in a way that Trump can paint as a victory.

Which is really bad, since they are the only ones that can realistically can fix it. And Trump never concedes defeat.

Well, one of these two things have to yield.
