Sounds like we’re back to a weaker version of the Obama deal, but with Iran getting even more money. Great job!
At least we also got a 250th birthday celebration that included a private company (that Trump invests in) being aired on a broadcasting network owned by Trump allies (that Trump also invests in) and paid in crypto from the Trump family Crypto slush fund.
And let’s also not forget that we have audio leaking out of the Situation Room during meetings focused on his aggressive nipple play fetish.
Did I mention the stagflation? All this winning is getting really tiring!
So for billions of dollars, world inflation, thousands of lives lost we get nothing. All because “Pistol” Pete Hegseth and “Demented” Donald Trump did not learn from previous experience when it comes to Iran’s ability to control the Straight of Hormuz. Had they bothered to look at past conflicts with Iran, closure of the Straight is their go to means of control and they totally blew it! Also, until the “deal” is signed anything can go wrong and the Straight will remain closed and in the hands of Iran. What losers we have leading us. So much for the “art of the deal”.
Iran had never closed the Strait of Hormuz prior to Trumps war. Now he has given them the playbook on how to squeeze the US and the rest of the world anytime they want. I hope Trump and the families of the 13 lost service members feel it was worth it. Its interesting how MAGA was outraged at the 13 lives lost in ending the 20yr war in Afghanistan but feel these lives were well spent.
