Were nukes the only concern?

I was told the bombings started in Feb werent a new war because Iran and their groups have been targeting and killing Americans and our allies for 40 years.

Whats preventing their unfrozen assets from filing the pocket books to fund more terrorist attacks?

and werent we supposed to help out the Iranian protestors? Does this agreement do anything about Iran executing protestors?


No, you weren't told any of this. Trump has been very clear from the start that Iran never having a nuclear weapon is the red line.

Trump better get out and start selling this apparent shite sandwich bc he’s gonna lose his rational supporters pretty quickly if it is what has leaked.
I am going to remain cautiously optimistic that there is either more or less to all of this and that there are some yet to be revealed huge positives to come. But yeah, even those like me who wanted hyper-diplomacy as opposed to war are in WTF mode. I will not believe this until it comes from the President’s lips.

This MOU kicks the can and permits indefinite extensions on the nuclear issue.

There was 1 among us that recognized that, even though strategic blunders have been committed by Trump every step of the way, we had to commit to US ground groups to save face.

I was shite on for months and my vindication is being shite on by Iran and Trump.

Are we sure Vance wasn't negotiating on behalf of the Iranians?

To "win" we had to do that

But we still probably wouldn't win

Which is why this pivot by the fanboys is so funny. They supported the neocon starting of the war and midstream, once it became clear we can't win, pivoted to pretending they were anti-neocon and talking shite to the people who still supported the conflict. The dishonesty and cognitive dissonance has been INCREDIBLE to watch.

The weird part is that the usually Trump admin strategy of never declaring a goal and flooding the zone with many potential goals, so they can claim victory however the end unfolds, doesn't seem to work with this deal. This deal doesn't seem to achieve any of the goals the admin flooded the zone with.

1 None of this matters because the deal will probably fall through because Israel will keep fighting Hezbollah

2 Iran will never stop trying to get a Nuke as long as IRGC and IK are there.

The open end nature of this deal seems like permission for Iran to delay repeatedly while they rebuild and plot revenge.

Revenge is mandatory for these Stone Age mindset goat humpers.

And how the hell are they not radical?

What in the actual frick?

Polling numbers if I had to guess. The primary goal appears to be getting away from the tar baby and the details don't matter that much. They're banking on the $300 billion being less distasteful than staying bogged down.

The 300 billion is from Gulf countries willing to invest when sanctions are removed. Read the reportage.

We're facilitating $300B in investment in a radical Islamic regime controlled by the same regime that's controlled Iran since 1979

This may be in addition to unfreezing $100B in Iranian assets, which is an exact comparison to the $1.7B "pallets of cash" but 58x larger

It is clear we have to do our part immediately and they can dick around for 60 days or more. They have pre-war sanctions lifted and assets unfrozen so they come out better on that end.

Who bombed whom? Who is surrendering?
