The Pentagon has no strategy because they have no mission. All they are doing is answering the phone and doing what Trump tells them to do each day.

If you want answers, you need to talk to the Saudis, Netanyahu, and Putin. They are calling the shots. They seem like strange bedfellows, but they all have reasons for this war. And they are all different reasons, but they are each accomplishing what they want.
