So let me see if I understand this: Trump and Netanyahu started a four-month war against Iran, burning through much of America's stock of PGMs, getting some nearly irreplaceable assets destroyed, costing maybe a hundred billion dollars or more and for what?
It gets us back to the situation the parties were in before Trump threw an armed hissy fit? (Parties talking about the Iranian nuclear program.) And the proposed final deal will differ from the JCPOA deal that Trump ripped up in 2018 in no meaningful way, other than Iran gets a lot more money. $327 billion, to be precise. Trump mocked Obama for giving Iran "pallets of cash"; that's 6,540 pallets of cash.
To do that, Iran, with a population basically a quarter of the U.S. and a GDP equivalent to that of Missouri, fought the U.S. and Israel to a standstill. It showed that they have a lever to use on the global economy. The regime cemented its control.
Worse for Trump, with his near-constant statement that a deal was close over the last 100 days, has shown the world that he is an insane fabulist without a firm grasp on reality. The crap put out by him and Rubio, among others, was so unhinged that more and more of the world's leaders and media were turning to the Iranians for confirmation.
Well, one has to hand it to Trump. He worked fast. Unlike the Vietnam War, which he dodged and which took over a decade, he got America's ass handed to it in less than four months.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

It got Felon47 in the news, And took Epstein out of the top line.
ReplyDeleteEck!
To be fair to those presidential screwups who came before, Epstein's Wingman brought years of experience of failing into the Oval Office so one might expect him to be rather efficient at cratering things quickly.
