    I really hope the nuclear bomb they launch doesn’t blow up in their own silo. God please no that would be so horrible

      Highly unlikely they’d use one of the ICBMs in the ground based siloes. This administration seems dumb enough to forget that the water portion of the nuclear triad even exists, causing a B-52 to be shot down with a live nuke over Iran. Thereby handing Iran their first nuke on a steel platter.

    And America will end up with a deal a thousand times worse than the one Obama got for giving the Iranians back their own money.

      Yeah, fuck trump, he is 100% responsible for this whole thing from the beginning to the end.

      Was Obama’s deal perfect? Of course not, but was foundation that could be used to build on top of. With JCPOA in place and lifted sanctions Khamenei likely would be replaced with less radical spiritual leader.

      Even with war in Ukraine, Iran at most would just remain neutral.

      And that raises a question, how come everything he does ultimately benefits Russia? Even things that at first look like they would be against them, later on always end up somehow helping it.

          Trump was 3rd most mentioned person in those files after Epstein and Maxwell. He wasn’t just a customer, he was a partner. I believe the secondary business was selling kompromat to countries like Russia, Israel maybe Saudi Arabia etc (look what he was doing with the secret files).

          So in addition to pedophilia and child trafficking could also be a treason.

      That’s what the “Art of the Deal” is. It works like this:

      • Trump notices something that tickles his fancy (for some idiotic reason).
      • he goes and mess with it.
      • he threatens to mess with it some more unless the other party vaguely agrees with him.
      • the situation is now worse than it used to be
      • everyone hates Trump, the US is seen as more unreliable than it used to be.
      • Great Success! Let’s build an arch in Washington to celebrate!

        I’m a New Yorker and Trump dominated the local newspapers for years.

        One of his biggest failures was losing about a billion trying to buy the Plaza hotel. Everyone in town knew he’d tanked, but he kept right on talking about how great he was.

        Since you mentioned ‘The Art Of The Deal’ I’ll add that the actual writer got one of the best contracts in publishing history. He got his name on the cover and 50% of the royalties. After the book was done he ran as far from Trump as he could and spent the next few decades badmouthing him to anyone who’d listen.

        Bonus material.

    Has anyone thought to tell the United States that the United States has oil that could be liberated?
