    James Carville on Trump’s Iran MOU:
    ‘Happy 250th, America. You just lost a war’


    The MOU is an instrument of surrender; it effectively shows that the U.S. lost the war just as the country readies for
    its 250th birthday.

    Carville believes Iran had won leverage by learning it could choke off the global economy by closing the Strait of Hormuz,
    through which 20 percent of the world's supply of oil flows.

    "There's going to be a risk premium in a barrel of oil for the foreseeable future," "I mean, I can't, I'm not smart enough to tell you
    what it is, but I don't think anybody could deny that. These oil traders are going to demand a premium because now they know,
    and Iran knows, they got a choke point, and they can bring it out anytime they want to."

    As long as their plan doesn’t somehow end up with Eric in charge.

    This is my only hope for Trump. He's such a petulant baby that he might be the only US president who takes his ball and goes home.

    That quote below from the article doesn't portray their opinion of Trump very well...

    Zaken wrote about the deal: “Mr. President, you have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis.”

    Don't mistake the way I post as emotional. The ME would be a wasteland if I was in charge.

    Yet that failed. Iran can build a nuke in less than a year. Probably 6 months or less. You can enrich enough Uranium for a bomb in weeks, not even months. That's the funny thing. You can take the uranium and destroy the facilities, but you can't destroy the know-how. They know how to build a nuke, that's not that hard for most countries.

    The hard part is miniaturization so you can actually have a nuke that can be carried on top of a rocket and still hit a long-range target with a good level of accuracy. That's the real scary part. And Iran is never going to nuke Israel (much less the US) as it knows it's suicide. This is about leverage and power. Nothing more. But you are so bought into your MAGA narrative that the capacity to understand these things is beyond your critical thinking skill by a few orders of magnitude.

    This war and "MOU" is the greatest foreign policy disaster since yellow cake and the invasion of Iraq by Dick and Co. I don't know how you guys pretzel yourselves into defending this. It's truely amuzing to watch the cognitive dissonance on display. If yall weren't such a cult you'd be screaming bloody hell at this whole fiasco. Could you even imagine if Biden came up with this ****?

    300 billion in reparations? $25 billion in unfrozen assets (Obama only unfroze 1.7B) and lifting of sanction on Iran, and letting them charge "fees" on ships? This is a backwards leap, not forward. Trump got fleeced. He got pegged by the Iranians and they didn't even bother to use lube.

    I came back on here to see how MAGA-bots would spin this as good, and folks like you did not disappoint.

    I don’t really take this seriously though. If these mega Trump donors really were in it for the Israel support, they clearly would have seen that Joe Biden was like the best partner they ever could have had, and yet all of them worked to undermine him when he was constantly bucking his base to throw his support behind Israel.

    And instead they throw their support behind someone whose single most well known attribute is that he’s the biggest con man the world has ever seen, and has turned on literally everyone he’s ever been partnered with. The dude turned on his best friend Jeffrey Epstein and tried to have his Vice President… literally killed in broad daylight.

    WTF do these people think he’s going to do??

    But since we all know this threat to leave him is bs, we shouldn’t give them any credit. I hope Miriam and co. go bankrupt and lose everything. They are all greedy pigs and deserve what’s coming to them if the world has any justice left.

    I'm not emotional, I just want to kill hundreds of millions of people.
