Looks like this is going to finally happen. Although, it just seems to be a glorified 2-month period of negotiations, rather than a final agreement.

The main thing is that it will stop damaging the global economy - for a war that most have little appetite for.


The G6 meeting is this week, and perhaps Trump wanted to avoid going to this meeting with the war still going on.

Trump has made concessions. So far it is looking better for Iran than the Obama deal.


Most people, acknowledge that the only way to be sure Iran are not developing a nuke deep underground is to destroy everyone of them with nukes, which is just not an option.


Trump will claim it as a victory for mankind. The best deal ever, a money back guarantee that will last until the end of time.

And then the Lord he called for one more card

But he drew the diamond eight

And the Devil said to the son of God

I believe you've got it straight


From Spanish Train …a Chris de Burgh favorite, but in this instance it’s “Strait’.

We've heard this one too many times, best not get your hopes up, not while Iran has its paws on the lever.

They're masters at negotiating....negotiations.

So transparent you two knuckleheads are.


How about, "That sounds like good news and let's hope Trump pulls it off."


...or is that beyond your ability?


Better to secretly hope it fails...while virtue signalling your morals.

Alright even though you may not have directed that at me, I'll bite. This sounds like good news, lets hope Trump pulls it off.


Now is it beyond your ability to admit this the whole thing as been an enormous debacle for Trump and immensely damaging to the world economy?

I don't know if it was a debacle.


I do know that I hope there is a good outcome.


See the difference?

SB


Sure the world has been told by the media Iran is -


  1. a stable country with a loyal population and murdering o/f 30 000 protesters is not a humanitarian problem;
  2. Iran supporting terrorism world wide is acceptable and ignored in th e fake media; and;
  3. Iran having nuclear bombs threatening peace is no problem.


Sucker like you believe that type of garbage and live on cloud cuckoo land, Suckers like you would be happy if London is destroyed by a nuclear bomb and even then will not wake up to reality,


Those whomthe gods wish to destroy they drive mad.

Trump threatened Iran multiple times to destroy it with nukes. Given that America are the only country to have ever used nukes in a war. (Japan WW2), this shows the world who America are.


Rumours are that America is going to pay for the reconstruction of Iran. If so, it has been suggested that America will pay Iran over 250 billion dollars to permanently reopen the Straight (During the 2 months of negotiations). The war has already cost American taxpayers over 100 billion dollars. If things proceed like this, it means that this may cost America 1/2 a trillion.

The Art of the Rumour.


Why do you keep making assessments based on rumours simply on the basis of those rumours aligning with the outcomes you want?


Surely, buy now, you've learned to be a little more circumspect?


Do you honestly believe the US will spend $250 billion on Iran!?

Why have I a feeling if this had been a democratic President's decision to go to war with Iran you'd somehow know.

"Why have I a feeling if this had been a democratic President's decision to go to war with Iran you'd somehow know."


Why do I have a feeling that is an opinion based on what you'd like to believe.


And why do I have a feeling it's an uniformed opinion because a mere search of this site will have you finding me being extremely critical of the Iraq war, detailing how I felt a pretext for the war was created and maintained through deceitful actions by a Republican presidency.

Trump will set up a stall on the Straights selling MAGA merchandise that is made in China.

@DumbMike, the pretext motive provided by Trump was nuclear weapons.


  1. a stable country with a loyal population and murdering o/f 30 000 protesters is not a humanitarian problem;

FACT CHECK = Bullshit

At no point did he say that this was a liberation movement to cover the BS you mentioned.

Iran either needs to solve their own internal affairs, or ask the UN for assistance. No country has the authority to invade a country and force them into shit trade deals on humanitarian grounds


  1. Iran supporting terrorism worldwide is acceptable and ignored in th e fake media.

FACT CHECK = Bullshit

No one supports their Terrorism. Most prefer to just avoid the Middle East altogether and to not meddle in their politics, which is helping their more radical element get into power and retain it.


  1. Iran having nuclear bombs threatening peace is no problem

FACT CHECK = Bullshit

It is a problem; however, right now, America is a far greater threat to global peace than Iran.

Trump has threatened to nuke Iran multiple times, as well as commit general war crimes like destroying their public energy and water supply. America has invaded countries, and threatened to take others by force (e.g. Canada, Greenland). He has caused massive economic damage with sanctions, using them as a tool to get unfair trade deals.

Operation Epic Fail . . . spend 100 billion dollars to open up the Straits that weren't blocked before.


So much winning!

What we still don’t know are the concessions Trump made to get Iran to open the Strait.

Trump will be asking for the Nobel Peace Prize for reopening the Strraight of Hormus.

Notable mention for Tactics include repeatedly threatening to nuke Iran, destroy their civil energy and water supply and send them back to the Stone Age.


This shows a lack of deal-making ability if he has to resort to these types of threats.
