Before the Iran deal is announced anyone want to post their personal red lines?

Also this would be before the online/admin/media spin can influence people.

Iran nuclear capability?

Amount of enriched nuclear material? Rate of development?

Reparations?

Conditions for the SOH?

Restrictions on trade with countries (including Russia and China)?

Just list whatever red lines that, if crossed, would make you consider the deal a failure?


*MAJOR ETA: I hope we can all agree that if the spin to defend this deal focuses on analyzing extreme minutia to claim that this deal is marginally better than the Obama deal, that this signals this was a huge failure

It's relative

A bad deal and L is better than invasion or more bombing towards a win we can't reach, for instance.

Just gtfo.

No reparations. Open the strait to how it operated in February.

Then focus on Cuba

What's funny with people having their own opinions without spin/influence?

It seems we have a lot of scared posters who don't want to do the same.

I give him all the credit in the world.

They should not charge a fee to use it.

Really tired of taxpayer money rebuilding countries.

Any feature of Iran having any control whatsoever of Strait is a failure.

Any form of reparations is a failure.

I can see a slight budge from us on sanctions, but very, VERY little.

...and they can have very VERY limited uranium enrichment.

We're at the point right now that if they don't agree to this right now, we have to bomb.

As to the subject of the OP


My red lines are reparations, softening of sanctions and any movement towards enriched uranium (nuclear weapons)



My reasoning is the first costs us money and the other two is international perception. It admits defeat and that we lost



I didn’t want war but since we did we at least have to preserve the status quo which the above three would be taking steps backwards not forwards

If we don't have severe restrictions on Iran trading with China and effectively a complete ban on any enriched uranium, I don't see how you can sell this as anything other than an expensive L, because with those in place you have to ask what the hell this war was about.

Reparations would make it terrible.

Basically if Iran doesn't face severe consequences we have given them power on par with nukes and a trump card (no pun intended) with the SOH. They've shown they can shut it down, tank the world economy, and we can't do shite about it, which is the same deterrence that nukes would provide.

Well. Personally I wouldn’t intervene anywhere… but since it appears we have a rabid dog of a MIC, at least redirect its attention to something that would improve our neck of the woods.

That's kind of the point.

Don't forget months of tons of people demanding regime change and citing all the citizens killed by the regime earlier this year, etc.
