Any US President not willing to commit ground troops if necessary, shouldn't even start down this path when it comes to any significant power.
I'd include even many small countries when they're backed by larger adversaries.

Ukraine has been bombed way more than Iran, and they're still able to hold on. And Russia has committed ground troops.

You know what they say, and for good reason...

T.A.C.O.

He typically starts with bravado and bluster, missteps, then concludes with weakness and desperation: the Trump Way.

Hell, if this lame, fat, ancient clown were our leader in WWII we'd all be speaking either German or Japanese!

Just saw a press conference with Trump and the French President.

The text will be released "very soon," but ,"probably not until after both sides sign or and the strate is cleared... sometime after Friday"

Them asked about if this will include money or sanctions relief for Iran, he says a firm "no," then quickly pivots, "well it is behavior based if there is anything..."

Iran is getting money, calling if now.... This may be sanctions relief or frozen funds unfrozen, or both.... But, Trump threw money at them, I guarantee it....

---------

Here is what probably happened (and I pray that I am wrong). :

We paid them money to open the strate and clear the mines. And, they will pledge again to not make nuclear weapons. But, there is no agreed to plan for the nuclear program overall or existing dust.... We literally paid them to open the strate why we will debate nuclear issues.... Sheer patheticness

So it seems we'll be paying Iran billions to end a problem the fat oaf created?

Typical.

Gotta think his handlers are dizzy from all the spin control currently underway, LOL.

There will be BILLIONS! Sanctions relief: Unfreezing Iranian assets: Maybe even reparations for bomb damage... Including a bit of cream to be skimmed. It will make any release of funds by Obama pale into insignificance (Which it was anyway)
Wonder why trump isn't rushing to publish the deal / surrender note.
Doesn't congress get to see it? or do they just write the checks?

One can only guess what ridiculous diversion he can come up with to get the public to ignore this boondoggle.

Will he build a golf course resort and a high rise or two there as part of the "deal?"

We know Trump is not proud of the text, or he would be pushing it out everywhere. So it is either bad or mediocre. Watered down version of the Obama deal with even more money to Iran?

Oh and Israel is already crying about it, and saying they don't have to do recognize it because they are not a signing party, so their war will almost certainly continue as before regardless of what Friday's deal says....

The whole thing is a big joke...
