A draft US-Iran agreement reportedly includes a £224 billion ($300 billion) investment fund for Iran's reconstruction, with officials avoiding the term 'reparations.' The deal has not yet been signed by President Trump.
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.
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.”
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.”

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.

That military seems mild or benign.
And ran out of the expensive munitions.

I’m thinking it was an autocorrect snafu for ‘fallible’.
Yup that all tracks
Is “affable” really the word you meant here?

and united states citizens will fall for it again. The united states population and political system created this.
