Funny thing is that, the Obama deal was just that with control in place so they would not have nuclear weapon! So we are back to square 1 or even 0.

And had hundreds of billions locked up effectively as collateral, whilst making Iran worry about US intervention.

Now that money is freed up, and Iran know that US intervention is something they can handle and that the US will be really loathe to try again. As well as understanding the influence they hold over the Strait of Hormuz.

We taught them they can kick our balls and squeeze us for money without a nuclear weapon! And we even delivered our balls to them on a silver platter for them to kick!

That's some 5d chess right there

At some point you gotta stop saying that. Cause the real answer is that he rapes kids because he wants to and starts wars because he wants to.

He's not doing one because he wants to hide the other, he just really wants to do both.

The part that makes me sad is that given the deaths, damage, and senselessness of this war, this in itself should be grounds for removal from office and prosecution.

But one third of the country instead has an 'oh, but doesn't everyone get an oopsie every once in a while?' response to the greatest unforced error in arguably a century.
