Carrot on Stick

       Another spate of peace rumors , but why now...The markets are not open till Tuesday.  Settlements should not be announced prematurely...We have heard this before....

      The reported outline does not accomplish much we didn't have before the war....

       When it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions , I prefer the notion of mutually assured destruction to keep them in line,,,Its worked for over 80 years.

What actually WORKED was Obama's agreement with Iran.
Everyone -- us, the Israelis, international organizations -- said that Iran was complying with it.
What changed is that our deranged pedophile President ripped it up, just because he, like his shitty followers, hates Obama.
Ever since Iran has been off to the races with their enrichment program.
Who can blame them?
Just like Jeff says, they believe in mutually assured destruction too.

What a huge waste of lives and taxpayer dollars. Can Trump count a new peacekeeping if he started the war himself?

Huh??? Mutually assured destruction is a game theory outlook between two super powers. It has nothing to do with the non nuclear terrorist state of Iran. It also does bot take into account that China has helped to destroy America while useful idiots known as democrats assisted them.

Donald is proposing the two to three week war go into an extended “ceasefire” until Labor Day. You don’t like his concept of a peace plan?

I admire your commitment to finding the cloud in every silver lining. You could find a problem in a free vacation.

Of course the boomer media wouldn't report President Trump's huge accomplishments.

Ronald Reagan let all the crazy people out of the asylums, and then the American gun lobby armed them. The shooting at the White House is completely the Republican's fault.

Iran is making Trump look like a fool. They taunt him with talks and make it look like a deal is imminent, and then back away.
The Fart of the Deal.
Maybe if Trump would shut up until the deal is signed he wouldn't look so played.

You’re completely wrong. You have to be delusional to believe that or just a blind partisan democrat.

Apparently including you.

President Trump started this war because Iran is a self proclaimed enemy of the United States, and although not perhaps an “imminent” threat, was well on the way towards developing nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, it is now obvious that he underestimated Iran and had no clear end game.
Only fair to wait and see the conclusion of the ongoing negotiations, but the results will properly be measured against Trump’s promised results and his pointed criticisms of the JCPOA reached under Obama. He has set a high bar for success, if he delivers - he deserves full credit. If not, he will be responsible for the biggest U.S. foreign policy failure since the Vietnam war.

Wrong. Again.

I like when someone he doesn’t like complains about something and he calls them a negative-Nancy or a naysayer
