We've also made allies angry with us for doing damage to their energy security and economies. And we've radicalized more Iranians and other Middle Easterners. And we have wasted countless military resources and dollars that could have been used on health care and infrastructure here. But Republican presidents have to have their wars.
We are no better off than we were 6-months ago.
The MOU is dead. There is no off ramp for Trump.
Umer Karim, a researcher at the University of Birmingham, said the problem is the goal posts have moved and progress will depend on one side caving to the other's interpretation of the deal.
"The old MOU is essentially dead in all aspects," he said. "The task of the mediators to have the two sides reach some sort of a compromise have become even more difficult in the current circumstances."
Iran Talks Sputter as Trump Spurns a Return to His June Deal - WSJ
Iran is already caving, the walls are falling down around them. I love that Trump is "waiting" this out. Economic pressure will likely cause the last few dominoes to fall.
I love it, too!!! A lesser President than Donald J Trump would have tried to finish up this war at least a few months before the midterm elections. Fortunately, President Trump prioritizes "doing the right thing for the American people and the world" above petty political considerations! GOP lawmakers in swing districts need to understand this!
He definitely isn't TACOing.
