Oh man-

Russia offering to trade back into US based currency.

Iran pleading for the blockade to end as they collapse.

Iran saying they have to have economy open before they negotiate lol.

People looking to protest again.

Man this could turn up aces for Trump. I know most here are rooting against him but there’s a chance this lands

I’m not sure how, the only things being allegedly offered here are things Trump himself caused to be issues in the first place. If the economy recovers from his war by the midterms he might be fine, but it’s not a feather in his cap.

Iran not having the means to a NUKE and possible regime change would be gigantic. Did Trump cause issues with Russia? Remind me. Russia back in line would be huge.

I'd love to have the narrowest of concerns like gas prices and corporate worker protections when you have innocents being hung in the streets and women being raped and killed.

Thats a special kinda special that only TDS can produce.

What exactly have we done to resolve this issue? The Trump Administration has consistently sold this war as *not* looking to do regime change, and as of right now there’s still no indication that we’ve left the citizens of Iran in any better place than they were before.
 
Actually, I take that back. You can’t be raped and/or hung in the street if we drop a bomb on your home or workplace and kill you. So we have certainly at least saved *some* from that fate.

You also failed to explain how Russia was Trumps own fault

You have such compassion for some but not Iranian citizens.

Wild.

Get off your fucking high horse, I’d love for the people of Iran to be free of violence and oppression. I simply don’t see this as a viable step toward that outcome, and do not trust the Trump Admin to actually help the citizens of Iran in any meaningful way. I also find it a touch gross that the same people who want to kick out Iranians and other entire groups, dismiss the deaths of countless Palestinian civilians and now Iranian citizens, and generally call anybody from that (and other) region a threat try to use their plight for political points.

Russia isn’t Trump’s fault, but I can’t fathom potentially strengthening our trade relationship with Russia is going to be a political winner given how narrow the group of pro-Russia and pro-global trade voters must be.
