Way to go Donny! Is this part of Trump's, "You'll get so sick of winning you will beg me to stop winning?"

David Shuster @DavidShus... • 2h S: According to Al Jazeera, the Iran deals includes unfreezing billions in Iranian funds, lifting U.S. blockade, pulling U.S. forces away, reopening strait of Hormuz though with tolls to Iran, and allowing Iran to keep its enriched uranium. This would be a total U.S. surrender.

nice job, Donald Trump

From 1 month ago. Iran called Trump a loser to his face.

The Iranian Position: Tehran consistently pushed back against unilateral American demands, using the exact phrase that the losing side cannot set conditions. Iranian officials asserted that because the United States failed to achieve regime change or dismantle Iran's military and nuclear capabilities, any talks must be strictly between equals.

They're not going down for months, perhaps a year. Getting oil and nat gas output anywhere near normal isn't as easy as opening the strait. It will take months to get the logistics sorted out (tankers and LNG carriers all in the wrong places - remember the covid impact on highly choreographed logistics.) Then there's getting crude and nat gas production back online which is a technically delicate process. Then there's repairing all the crude / nat gas infrastructure damage.

Next on CNN sometime in September, why the strait is open but gas prices are stubbornly high.

the oil industry benefits so much from having pukes retain control of Congress that they might play ball with krasnov and lower prices before the election. I have no idea whether this will happen but wouldn't surprise me.

And if the US/Trump thinks that we should reduce global military presence, that is their opinion, but you don't do it as part of this negotiation. Do it in 1-2 years.

He'll be lucky to get Iran to agree on anything because they don't have to.

just sign the thing and get the damn strait open as soon as possible. Already, people around the world are suffering because of its closure, and that suffering is going to get much worse (including mass starvation) the longer Hormuz stays closed.

The trouble is, we still don't know how serious this "agreement" is. He could sign it, escalate or do nothing. All are equally possible right now.

Why? Because he's an asshole, that's why.

Now this new one, if it even holds, is nowhere near as good as Obama's. There's no guarantee that Chump will even honor it, and if he does, Iran might still reneg on it if they think nobody is looking.

That would be a huge win for Iran. The only way you commit to that is Iran giving up long range missiles, which I can't imagine they would accept.
