Sorry for a potentially extremely dumb question, hopefully that means this question is a good fit for this community, at least.
Judging by the news, it seems like US and Iran are entering a deal to end the war. I did not expect it to end this easily. I thought Iran would want to get something tangible out of the war, that is not a mirage of “we will not attack you / put sanctions on you”. But I guess they just want to end the war…
In the end, Trump got major disruptions and distractions he wanted, got a rug-pull in stock market for his croniss, and can pull out before there are much consequences. People will forget, and maybe vote in favor for Trump in the midterms. Is he lucky, or is he actually quite smart in achieving nefarious intent?


I guess it was misjudgement saying Trump is smart for doing so, when he could just… not start a war and tried other disruptions instead.
I did want to ask if war is going to end and Trump is getting away with it, but decided to go one step too far (maybe for virality? Dumb me again)
So much for me believing there is truly no stupid questions.
The question itself isn’t inherently a stupid question. Perhaps some better phrasing would have helped. Like, “Is it a smart move for Trump to end the war with Iran at this point?”. Which, correct me if I’m wrong, is essentially what you’re asking.
