@neiltwit@Qatilqatilshoua@varadmehta It's not a good deal. But the war was never popular to begin with and Americans and frankly the world cares more about lower oil prices.
@Qatilqatilshoua@varadmehta Don’t think this deal will be as disastrous with the public as it’s been made out to be. Late 1970s America was much whiter and the feeling of being humiliated by Third World inferiors during the Iranian hostage crisis was much stronger. Not the same with today’s demographics.
@breakfast_dogs@AvidCommentator@JEChalmers The government's tax changes which will lower house prices and make Australians feel less wealthy will likely lead to less spending than would otherwise have been the case.
@AvidCommentator@breakfast_dogs The most important thing that will happen in the next few months is oil prices and inflation falling as the Iran war comes to and end. Speeches by Hanson, Taylor or Albo won't matter much.
@ReubenR80027912 People can keep calling Trump a cuck. But at a fundamental level, the median American doesn’t find the current situation with Iran as humiliating compared to the median American in 1979.

@ReubenR80027912 Vance is a chameleon but foreign policy is one area where he’s been more consistent. Also, I think Vance thinks being married to an ethnic Indian makes other countries perceive him somewhat differently.
@michaelsnape@PauloHalo With the Iran war ending, oil prices and inflation are going to drop over the next few months. Makes no sense for Albo to delay the tax changes. Now is the right time to do it.
@MarkoMatvikov@littlemykonos Here, she’s basically adopting the ‘safe pair of hands’ approach. Not the agent of radical change. The tone is the opposite of Trump 2016.
All the Republicans mad about the Iran deal… if you want to get crushed in November, then keep talking. Gas prices were far too high. A deal was necessary.
@ebyinve@ReubenR80027912 There was no industrial rape machine. Britain largely avoided the problem of sexual abuse by clergymen because of a low Catholic population. But ended up with Muslim grooming gangs. Such is life.
