"Perimeters of a deal" is like 2026 "concepts of a plan," which is to say "fuck if we know."

    It worked to convinced tens of millions of dipshits to vote for him in 2024.

    You can look at the markets and see its still convincing millions of dipshits today. Oil prices have dropped with every EASILY disprovable lie Trump has made about peace bring around the corner.

    One of the main reasons this has been allowed to happen is the total lack of public blowback. That's only been the case because oil prices are sky high, but not yet totally unaffordable for the average Joe. When our strategic reserves dry up, and they will, you'll see $6-$10+/gallon gas. Every dipshit not paying attention is in for a catastrophic shock.

    Dementia Don is being played like a violin: the Iranians maintain enough background low-level military action going to exhaust the US military, but not so much as to trigger the US to commit war crimes and destroy civilian infrastructure in their country, or give other countries an appetite to join the action. The Iranians know time is on their side.

    And last time it was Trump -again- shredding the deal. Not Iran.

    Don’t move the goalposts here people.

    Well, the "deal" was the US gives $300 billion, Israel leaves Lebanon, and in return Iran will waive 14b in strait passage ransoms over two months.

    So many ways it's idiotic. I have to assume Trump was expecting 10% of that 300b.

    The silver lining is that Russia and the US are running out of weapons, which makes the world safer. The bad part is that only China now has this level of firepower.
