    So we agree to:

    1. give them $1000 for every man woman and child in the US

    2. pull our military out of the Middle East

    3. let them sponsor terrorism across the region

    And in return, they agree to start negotiations

    ————————

    Are you tired of all this winning yet?

    So the agreement could be simpler… It basically says the US (and allies) stop breaking internationallaw, and pay Iran a fuckload of money to rebuild all the stuff they blew up while breaking international law. Iran must agree to continue to abide by the lawful agreements that were in place before the pointless and illegal US military assault.

    Imo, paying for reconstruction is the moral thing to do when there is no rational basis for a war. I have no idea whether $300b is the right amount.

      Full throated US capitulation, abject contrition, and a stack of blood money from here to the moon is the least we could do after we massacred Iranians for months in a fully improving conflict.

      Next, we should send Hegseth, Rubio, and every member of the Joint Chiefs who failed to retire to the Hague

    What matters to him is that he personally got richer with all the market manipulation. That’s it.

        That’s why if you noticed he has (somewhat) switched to slapping his name all over stuff. First term it was all advertising and business deals. But now he’s trying to tie himself to the 250th anniversary, put his name all over every bill and building. It’s his son’s that are running all the insider trading deals and background economic tricks.

        He’s dying and he knows it so he’s trying to smear his stupid name all over before he goes.

        His fuck-trash and grand-fuck-trash will reap the rewards. We need to find away to take it all away from them and put them all away for decades. If not prison, then reeducation work camps. We will never get past this unless, ultimately, nobody ends up profitting from either of Trump’s farcical administrations.

    He happily pays the 300b surender money and the even higher costs for refilliing American armories from taxpayers money, knowing well that the Epstein class does not participate in this taxpaying game, anyway.

      The bit everyone else seems to be missing. Just like with Iraq and Afghanistan, this war is happening on the backs of working class Americans.

      Nobody in TrumpWorld is paying a penny. Quite a few of them are cleaning up on Pentagon contracts.

        Estimating this fiasco will cost at least $600B, that sits around $2000 per American. That doesn’t even factor in the indirect costs like increased oil prices, decreased trade, and lost jobs. That lot sure is winning!

    And israel will adhere to none of it. It’s too bad we don’t invade them, dismantle the state, and free all the illegally detained prisoners of ethnic cleansing. Maybe when more boomers die out.

      Why invade them when you could simply “not send money and weapons daily.” They would dismantle anyways.

      So what happens when Israel doesn’t stop? Iran could totally flatten Israel if Israel was abandoned by allies and US would never abandon Israel so seems like US will be pulled back in or have to get rid of Netanyahu right? This seems like it’ll never end omg
