Here is an idea: the only way to win is a large and extremely costly invasion, actual troops on the ground for probably a decade. Nobody wants to pay that price. It was insane to start this war, and everybody knew it but Netanyahu and Trump. I can't believe Rubio was stupid enough to go along with it.
Turn all the under-mountain missile cities into super-mega-mall-cities with Whole Foods, McDonalds, indoor shooting ranges, nail salons, super-walmarts, hotels, apartments, casinos, mega strip clubs and free e-bikes to get from business to business as the tunnels go on for miles. Free unlimited, uncensored WiFi, everywhere. Air conditioning, everywhere. Make each section walking-friendly. Import millions of tourists.…

You say 'The Real Plan' like there was any amount of planning done in the first place. We've now found ourselves on top of a bucking bronco, with every 'exit' looking worse than previous status quo.
There are short term and long term plans. The long term plans are: - Remove Ghaddafi and have chaos in Libya (accomplished). - Remove Saddam and have chaos in Iraq (accomplished). - Install a puppet regime in Egypt and suppress the muslim brotherhood (accomplished). - Remove Assad and install an ex al-Qaeda (note the irony) puppet (accomplished). - Have regime change in Iran (ongoing).
