Amazing how Trump has negotiated a deal worse than the deal he has continually called the worst deal ever. Did you hear that Iran has invited the nuclear inspectors back? Hmm, why did the nuclear inspectors leave in the first place I wonder?

It’ll be a worse deal than the JCPOA matter what the terms are around Iran’s nuclear ambitions. This is because Iran has actual (not theoretical) control of the Strait and can close it instantly with a simple tweet if they don’t get their way. The threat of military action by the world was enough to keep Iran from moving beyond theoretical control, but the action to directly attack Iran without significant (European and Asian) ally support, dampened by Trump’s idiotic barbs and tariffs on his own allies, has only demonstrated the limits of U.S. power.

Trump has legitimized an emboldened Iran on the world stage, and allowed it to become the defacto power in the GCC. And because of the genius of Trump, he’s showed other countries the playbook to use pinch points as economic warfare, which closes the gap between the military superiority of the US. Everyone knows the U.S. lost this war because they’ve achieved none of its fluctuating aims, and now have their famous isolationist VP instead of Sec State (who is doing what these days?) trying to negotiate an exit ramp that can at best get us close to JCPOA.

Well said

OP - you’ve come to same realization that I did over the past few weeks.

You don’t need to be China anymore, just control access to some critical commodity / supply chain input.

You don’t even need to be the country that produces said input, just cut off access. This is way easier to do than building nukes.

Historically global economies haven’t been as tightly interconnected as they are today though. I agree that it doesn’t guarantee long term security and independence, but that’s not what they’re trying to do. It’s basically economic terrorism to inflict immediate pain for immediate gain/relief.

If you are not outraged by Breonna Taylor’s ruling, you are Anti-Second Amendment.

The second amendment lets us arm ourselves against tyranny (and as conservatives will often say, government tyranny). When the government infringes on our rights and breaks into our house and shoots up the place, I don’t have a right to defend myself?
