The Crazy Deal With Iran

Talking points are beginning to emerge from within the Administration and it looks like the US gained absolutely nothing from this costly war. Actually every American is paying dearly for another Trump folly.

Talking point 1. "Iran will never have a nuclear weapon". Before Trump blew it up there was already an international treaty in effect that guaranteed Iran was not developing nuclear weapons. This was being verified by international inspectors positioned in Iran.

Talking point 2. "President Trump ended fighting on every front". Trump started the fighting to begin with and had to power to stop it all along. And terminating attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon is a win for Iran.

Talking point 3. "The Strait of Hormuz is open again free of charge". The Strait was open and free of charge before Trump started the war. It can also be closed again any time Iran chooses.

Talking point 4. "Iran's rewards comes from its own frozen assets." According to the MOU the "U.S. and regional partners are committing to the creation of a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least $300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Talking Point 5. "Obama never got a signed document, President Trump did". Trump evidently forgot about the JCPOA signed by Iran, Russia, The UK, France, Germany and the US.

Trump is like the arsonist who put out his own fire and wants a reward and praise for doing so.

I heard the agreement was signed electronically, does that mean Trump used an auto pen?

Trump knew he was in a check-mate situation with Iran and was dead in the water.... he couldn't get out of Iran and he couldn't stay in Iran either.

What Trump needed was an exit strategy that would make America's 'retreat' from the battlefield appear as a win in Trump language, thereby simply going back home to the USA with the trophy after he had won the battle against Iran.

The USA has no other option OTHER THAN to retreat, no differently than the US retreated from Vietnam, retreated from Panama in the late 1980's and then retreated most recently from Afghanistan. Yet here the USA is once again in full retreat mode after figuring out after they got there that they couldn't win no matter how great America pretends to be on the world stage.

So now we have a fake deal cooked up between Trump and Iran, a fake deal that Trump will 'spin' with lies to make it appear as if Iran was destroyed by American forces, when in fact the US military failed miserably at warfare once again, this time in Iran. Keep in mind that the USA has not won a single war it started in the last 214 years, so to lose in Iran should come as no surprise to anyone.

With a fake 'win' on Trump's trophy case, he will merely call the US Navy back to the USA and the Strait of Hormuz will re-open to traffic and business will resume as usual, except the American taxpayer will be on the hook to pay for the ransom that Iran demanded to make Trump look like one of those so-called, "All-American heros".

That's the price y'all will pay to be called an "American".
