@mattyglesias you can criticize him for starting it when it fails, the deal itself doesn't need comment aside from it wouldn't be necessary if he didn't start it in the first place. refusing to facilitate the deal is demonstrably to the right.
Some common-sense things Trump said today that were nevertheless shocking:
Everybody else has ballistic missiles, why can’t Iran?
The frozen money belonged to Iran, and the U.S. needed to release it otherwise nobody would trust the dollar system. Why should we steal their money?
Neighboring countries use nuclear power for electricity, why can’t Iran?
Israel shouldn’t knock down entire buildings in Beirut every time a drone or two crashes harmlessly in the desert.
Trump would’ve become Herbert Hoover in a few weeks once oil ran out and the market crashed. He had no choice but to end the war.
@nb29648 buddy I ain't defending the dogshit war, the point of it was to expose the farce that is US hegemony as far as I can tell, which brings me to the point above.
