He hasn't actually managed to secure that deal yet. He might easily get something worse.

    It's almost for sure worse. JCPOA was great (except for time limits) - I doubt they'll give up nuclear ambitions and allow inspectors

    At this point, it seems pretty obvious that the only way to ensure the US and Israel don't try this again, is if Iran does get a nuke.

    It’s already going to be a worse deal because it gave Iran the defacto option to mine/close the Strait of Hormuz anytime it wants more cash.

    Yeah, but at least we aren't talking about the Trump/Epstein files anymore.

    At this point the rest of the world will be invading America just to find out what the fuck is in them already.

    Did Trump eat a child's heart Aztec human sacrifice style? What does Putin have on him exactly?

    I'm sure I speak for many people when I say I am so tired of my cost of living going up for the Epstein class.

    It won't even be as good of a deal, just any deal. But the important part is that it will be Trump's deal. That's all he cares about. That his name is on it.

    What about the Roughly 45 million more people could be pushed into acute hunger this year if conflict persists

    The impact of this is so much more wide spread than just US Gas prices and the atrocities being committed by the USA and Israel.

    He is not getting anything close to Obama's deal. Also we get to keep the high gas prices.

    At this point, why would Iran give up any nuclear ambitions on a promise from the United States? Our promises are clearly not worth the ink they are written in.

    But Trump managed to prevent Netanyahu from releasing what’s in the E files about him unredacted - for now anyway

    No, it’s actually worse than Obama’s deal and yields a lot of concessions and leverage to Iran

    Not to mention the fact that this gave Iran the perfect opportunity to test out their theory on whether or not they could control the strait of Hormuz. Until this year it had only been a crackpot idea in their military circles. Now it's official policy for that country.

    So, thanks Trump.

    Also
    - less oil is traded in USA dollars,
    - the USA national debt reached highs that just beg for a rating downgrade,
    - quite a few NATO allies now see buying USA weapons as a liability,
    - the stock market atm is just AI (I mean that as a big volatility factor at an inopportune moment),
    - China publicly gave 0 fucks about USA's shenanigans & the USA was forced to ignore it,
    - and public opinion is now finally switching against USA companies.

    Maybe the USA will have a crisis the will be the perfect moment for a coup. By the existing rulers. So not under new management.

    I'm still laughing that I was banned from a community for saying Harris wouldn't have invaded Iran.

    The point was to remove epstein from the headlines and also to steal money with the war spending

    You gotta speak the language of the people you're trying to get through to.

    Would still be nice to mention the hundreds of children and thousands of innocent Iranians too but it's completely possible the people who need to be convinced this is bad would actually like that

    It't not even close to Obamas deal. So far it is just a big fuckup, as usual with Trump.

    Somehow it always feels like an ad-campaign for nuclear weapons when countries with some attack countries without any.

    Really weird to count death toll only in 'murikan ppl, but yes.

    Also it facilitated Israel's expansion.

    And millions in poor nations are affected by high fuel prices directly (transport, cooking, medical facilities, agriculture, etc - in developed nations we just pay more for fuel, but the poor ones just can't afford that, that is the reason why gas prices haven't really exploded, they are "just a bit higher" bcs already at these level 20 or so % can't afford it & the market reaches equilibrium at lower quantify).

    Oh, don't worry, it won't be anywhere near as good as Obama's deal.

    The point is that if Obama did it then racist hates it.

    And dont forget, we assassinated their leader so he could be replaced with an even more extreme leader who will probably align themselves with china and russia.
