I think you’re giving Trump too much credit. If he starts firing shots again the war is illegal. The 60 day window is over. He has no appropriated money to fight the war, no public support, and no way out. There is no chess game here. It’s not even checkers. He is just trying to not have to admit he made a mistake - just with billions of dollars and lives on the line. Such sad.
This administration literally told congress that it has a right to bomb Iran again without congressional oversight specifically because there's a cease fire in place. I wish I was kidding. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g4xexy4w7o

There's at least two other belligerents in this war who get a say, as well as a large number of other countries which count as victims (everyone from Lebanon to UAE). No US decision can stop Israel and Iran from fighting.
He has operational control of the armed forces. This has never been disputed recently; he can order whatever shots he wants. The armed forces funding is in one whole pot which is guaranteed even against a "shutdown". He also has total legal immunity for official acts.

Whos gona prosecute america? Germans ar still waiting for somebody to go to jail for Dresden, and rightly so
He will just say it's a different operation. That's what they've been doing and it's working. Republicans have no desire to stop Trump. Democrats don't care either cuz they want this power once they're elected.
It's worse than having no desire to stop him. Republicans want to compete to bow down to Trump like a gaggle of serfs. It is a debasement of human dignity to watch them grovel.
No mistakes, public largely forgot about Epstein files with the Iran war.
