Initially, the Eurocrats expressed dismay, because expressing dismay is what they do.  But it could wait.

Process is the Euroweenies' most important product. But it can wait until Monday. https://t.co/QOKApaqEFY

It's in character for people who live by process, as Glenn "Insta Pundit" Reynolds notes, to perpetuate process.

Why didn’t we do this before? And why could we do it now? The reason we can do it now is mostly leadership. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth quickly prioritized precision and lethality in the military; President Trump was willing to use the military in ways prior presidents were not.

Why didn’t we do this before? Part of that is because the foreign policy establishment, like the domestic policy establishment, doesn’t exist to solve problems. It exists to manage those problems in ways that keep its members cushily employed. To, in Myres McDougal’s words, “maintain tensions at a level short of unacceptable violence.”

Trump, on the other hand, wants to solve things, even if it involves inflicting unacceptable violence on the enemy. Also, he regards our enemies as actual enemies, not as “foreign colleagues” or “partners in peace.” To quote author Keith Laumer, “there’s nothing as peaceful as a dead troublemaker.” Khamenei is now peaceful.

In fact, Trump’s approach across the board, which has brought him success after success in his first 13 months back in office, is to solve problems the way the guys in the bar say they would do it.

You can just do things.  That might come as a shock to Eurocrats, but it's the same mind-set that thinks one more semester of faculty meetings will wordsmith a message to the yahoos that higher education has become anything but and the enterprise has self-destructed and broken whatever remains of the implicit contract between higher education and the public.  Nota bene: the Blogfather is still inside higher education, and he got off a bon mot at the prevailing ethos!  "In fact, the mullahs ran Iran as a Persian colony of an Arab ideology."

Meanwhile, institutional Democrats, who are also of the process is our most important product persuasion, are taking some heat from the more jihad-friendly of their caucus.  "Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries’ throat-clearing and process critique only serves Trump and the war machine."

The European bureaucrats might have had their meeting, although Iranian ballistic missiles apparently have a spray-and-pray setting and maybe they're hoping for the Israeli, United States, Kuwaiti, and Saudi Arabian Air Forces to maintain operational tempo.  The Iranian navy has been dispatched to Davy Jones.
