the only way I see the middle Eastern War with Iran ending is if Trump declares victory and the U.S. military goes home

We really shouldn't be in Iran like this anyway. I don't think Trump understands warfare anyway at all. He might theoretically understand it but remember America rebuilt Japan and Europe after World War II and loaned money to everyone which was a part of American prosperity from 1945 until the Arab Oil embargo made most Americans poor once again.

However, there was this Golden Age that many of us lived through financially which was from 1945 until 1973 when financially at least the living wage and the purchasing power of the dollar made all Americans rich enough to own a car or buy a car pretty much even at age 17 if you were a white man with a job as a carpenter or Garbage collector you could own a multi-bedroom home and support easily about 5 people and own one or two cars.

But, it isn't this way any more under Trump or since 1973 ARab Oil embargo either.

So, I think unless Trump just declares victory and withdraws the U.S. military then this thing could go on another 20 years with Gas and Diesel prices much much higher than they are now. 

However, to continue this war it also makes it much more likely for another World Wide Great Depression like Herbert Hoover caused by Tariffs just like Trump's.
