This is geat news. The last time Iran got economic reprieve their economy grew by 6-7% per year and purchasing power grew.
That said this won’t happen again if Israel has any say in the matter.
Isreal has de-facto veto power over any deal since they can just fly over and blow up something if a deal gets signed that they don’t like and most of the US political establishment will not only not criticize them but they’ll defend them.
Step 1) Declare war upon your “enemy” (friend, like Putin)
Step 2) Say the war is unsustainable
Step 3) Officially pay Russia billions of billions of dollars
And y’all said he’s stupid
It all depends on how this is funded, and this is mostly a colonization trap for Iran. US has recently controlled the budgets of Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Venezuela. There is full threat of confiscation for any non-compliance, and this was done to Afghanistan.
Funding could be extorted from GCC colonies, and like Venezuela, pressure for US major oil companies. There is zero history of any US investment in these colonial trap arrangements. Just bribery of political class to keep US control as long as feasible. Like Venezuela (and Iraq), US oil companies would be reluctant to spend cash because future nationalization is a likely retaliation to US extortion.
So Trump, in his racist fury, canceled an existing plan that prevented Iran from producing nuclear weapons and permitted rigorous investigations. While this plan did grant access to several billion dollars those funds were either Iranian funds formerly frozen as part of prior sanctioned nuclear activities or repayments for a trade deal the US had failed to uphold their side of.
To replace this deal, “No new wars” Trump started a new war which ended up closing one of the world’s most influential shipping lanes, revealed to Iran how easy it is to close that shipping lane, revealed to the world how affable the US military is, lost the war he started and will have to actually pay reparations in an amount double the number of funds the Obama plan gave access to. The end result of this will be that Iran has fewer restrictions (though still no nuclear weapon), more money, and greater respect in the region.
Trump will still claim he got a better deal.
Trump will still claim he got a better deal.
And 40% of the country will believe him, and nothing anyone says will ever change their mind.
Yeah but nobody’s bugging him about the TRUMP-EPSTEIN ™ files anymore. So there’s that. 😬
Shart of the deal.
That’s in addition to the daily White House Photoshart, I presume
They’ve moved on to generating images and videos with ShartGPT now.
I have never seen affable used in this way, presumably as a pejorative. Do you mean this in the sense of them being benign?
I’m genuinely not criticizing; I love learning new things and my question is genuine.
Yeah, was going for the “mild/benign” meaning.
Basically, “the greatest military in the world, which has NeVeR lOsT a WaR, couldn’t keep the strait that was already open open, lost several planes, and had multiple bases struck.”
That military seems mild or benign.
And ran out of the expensive munitions.
Thank you. I didn’t even know this was one of the definitions until seeing your use of it and looking it up. Appreciate you expanding my understanding.
Even the “mild/benign” meaning generally carries a tone of positivity (like a store clerk is trained to be affable–even at their worst they’ll still be polite) so it’s not an exact literal fit here.
I was using it more as a tongue and cheek jab attempting to highlight more than just the inadequacies, but to paint them as non-threatening. Obviously that’s not case, the US did carry out strikes in Iran and has certainly been threatening both in language and act.
In a more professional setting devoid of my joke attempt I would have probably used “inept.”
I’m thinking it was an autocorrect snafu for ‘fallible’.
Yup that all tracks
revealed to the world how affable the US military is
Is “affable” really the word you meant here?
Yeah, was going for the “mild/benign” meaning.

and united states citizens will fall for it again. The united states population and political system created this.
Welcome to the new reality. He’s going to drain every American dry.
It’ll work too
That’s not the onion.
Oh man this article is good. Imagine being a soldier in this stupid war, dying even, so some cunts can pull some real estate deals in Iran.
If you’re in the military, you’re trash.
Being in the military in the US is pretty much a humiliation ritual at this point. Being in the military in Israel is just going straight to hell, hell on earth as well hopefully.

$300 billion dollars is a ridiculous figure. This deal is going to be structured in a way that benefits Trump and his cronies. They’ll only pay Iran such an enormous amount if a significant part of it is captured as bribes.
Sounds like a loser fund
Regarding this administration I wake up every day and think “what the fuck is happening now?”
If true, this is the USAs version of “oops, sorry”
It appears that everyone but Trump was right, trying to claim the strait would be very difficult and expensive, practically impossible without boots on the ground.
I think this deal is probably the best the USA can do at this point, but I don’t think Trump will agree. What a moron. There’s no clearer sign of the USAs rapid decline than having this clown as our President, once again I am humiliated.
Donald Trump is rather bland
Donald Trump is a stupid “man”
So all the “king’s” fools & all the tool’s “men”
Had to rename Iran’s list of demands
