Clearly, there is no โpeace deal.โ
One side says โno money exchanged.โ The other side says โ$325 billion.โ
This isnโt a negotiating gap; itโs a different universe.
So Trump has spent tens of billions of taxpayer dollars, sent gas prices soaring, depleted the U.S. arsenal and further alienated our allies, all to get Iran to restore the status quo that existed before Trump started the war and thatโs it?
Explain to me what I have wrong?
Iโm not saying Trump is actually a Manchurian Candidate, but if our adversaries wanted to create one, they couldnโt have done better.
If thereโs a more perfectly distilled depiction of the regimeโs collapse than this, coming as it announces essentially a โdealโ with Iran that makes clear Iran won a war Trump started, I havenโt seen it.
