    It’s already going to be a worse deal because it gave Iran the defacto option to mine/close the Strait of Hormuz anytime it wants more cash.

      Oh yeah, it’s already going to be a worse deal, the Obama deal was great, kind of crazy they got it, actually.

      It’s just a matter of how BAD the Trump deal will be.

        Hundreds of state department employees probably worked for 30 years on sanctions, diplomacy, and building trust to get that agreement. Trump blew it all up (including inflation and the economy) because that’s how racist he is. Can’t let a black man get a win, under any circumstances.

          Also that those brown Iranians are practically cavemen, and will completely surrender at our technological might, as if they’ve never seen a motorized vehicle before, and they can be manipulated and scammed like the sub-human animals he thinks they are.

          Meanwhile, most of the Iranian government leadership holds PhDs, while Trump holds a press conference to announce he was able to identify four animals, three whole times.

      Right? Two months ago, closing the Strait was unthinkable, it was a thread that nobody would believe. Now it’s any day. Well done.
