    You mean like saying Iran is back at the table and not acknowledging that they already had a deal and Trump killed it, creating this entire situation?

    I pity you, you're a lost cause and you'll always be where you are because you are too stubborn/lonely to change.

    So, basically, Trump is vouching for the "fact" that the sites were completely destroyed and we should just accept his word.

    Well...I feel better. Perhaps get a Colin Powell lookalike to present pictures of ice cream trucks turned into Uranium cake mobiles at the UN?

    The iranians and other inspectors are claiming the centrifuges are still in tact which is what I said yesterday..... now the iranians are more motivated than ever before to build a bomb.

    What a utter **** show

    Its worst than that. Before the war our own intelligence stated the iranians hadn't decided to build a bomb....what do you think theyre going to do now after we attempted to bomb their facilities and failed....?

    I don't believe Trump was trying to create a distraction from other news. This fits the pattern of his negotiating style. He says what he wants, which is usually laughably greedy. Then he takes something away from the counter-party to put them in a worse bargaining position. Then he hammers out a deal. Israel's strike put Iran in a weak position for a nuclear deal and Trump will be able to maximize their concessions.

    Maybe it's smart. Like with tariffs and trade deals, I have concerns that Trump's deal making practices will have consequences that he doesn't usually face in real estate deal making. We will see these same counterparties again and again for the decades to come and they aren't going to forget their rough treatment. The best deals are ones where everyone gains, but Trump seeks to gain at others' expense. Iran might sign an onerous nuclear deal now. But what will they do to get their revenge or to find their gains? Secret nuclear development? Arms deals with other dictatorships? Terrorism? Cyber attacks? Maybe Trump's calculation that they can't be effective enough at getting back at us. But he is probably not the one who will pay the cost.

    According to Bitcoiners, the US was never after the nuclear facilities but instead the vast Bitcoin mining farms generating billions of revenue a year.

    This looks bad for USA. Leadership lies. Military fails. Intelligence fails. And look, all of that happens. But when you get exposed and it demonstrates weakness, you open yourself up to being exploited, you lose credibility, and you lose power at the table. It's a cluster tuck.

    The only thing that can be said is that at least internally the military accurately accepts the truth even if they don't acknowledge it externally, but that deception when leaked comes with consequences.

    Don't look up.
