It may not get this far. I suspect a reversal and normalization is on the way given that there seems to be no clear strategy by the Trump administration that can withhold the consequence of the conflict.
There is a Trumpian strategy, of a kind:
1. Bad cop - Threaten all kinds of mayhem unless....
2. Good cop - Give me a call (Iran/North Korea) I am willing to talk
3. Bad cop- pretend to lose your temper 'the fake walk away'
4. If this doesn't work squeeze a third party. 'See what I am doing to Mexico? Imagine what I can do to you'
5. Make nice. Fudge.
6. Declare victory
P.S. This is similar behaviour to what Jane Goodall has recorded about Gorillas in the Congo.
