How well have the sanctions worked the past 5 years. Did they bring them to the negotiating table. Or did China just buy sanctioned oil for cheap and Iran built missiles.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

POTUS’s statement creates room for an off-ramp in which we avoid a return to fighting and eliminate the need for a formal settlement.

We can withdraw and use sanctions as our blockade. By removing our troops and ships, we deny Iran military targets they can use as leverage, forcing them to engage us diplomatically—Iran would then be inclined to make quiet concessions because they urgently need sanctions relief. This gives us strong leverage on the nuclear issue.

Both Iran and POTUS can tell their domestic audiences they won, saving face and preventing further senseless bloodshed.

The dynamics of the region and the global balance of power will be forever altered because of this war—we can’t change that now. But we can avoid a massively destructive escalation. At this juncture, that has to be our priority.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

How about we spend 30 more days finishing them off and then walk away. Maybe?

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

This is a good move—it buys us time. It’s essential that we use it wisely.

Acknowledge that under current conditions, there are no military solutions and a true settlement is unlikely.

Follow the Reagan-in-’84 model: pull our forces out of the region, let our Gulf allies negotiate to reopen the SOH, and refocus on the issues at home and winning the next election, like Reagan did.

This is the opposite of what Israel wants us to do. To prevent Israel from pulling us deeper into this war, we must impose real restraint by limiting military aid to Israel.

The escalation game is a losing hand. Dump it and walk away.

Wait, you quit the job trump gave you because he was Bibis bitch and just did this war for his puppet master the jew. So explain to me like I'm five how it's awesome that he is making a deal by forcing Bibi to stop bombing Hezbollah. I thought he worked for da joos. I'm confused.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

It appears that a historic deal is within reach, and it will hold if President Trump is willing to enforce the restrictions he’s placed on Israel.

This post indicates a good start—but it must be followed by actually limiting U.S. military aide to Israel.

The catholic church has long been a socialist entity. The church has been woke since woke was invented. Jesus was probably a socialist and the disciples were probably socialists and just because an American becomes Pope , people magically assume the catholic church suddenly loves war, genocide, and wants rich people to get more riches while the masses starve. Geez people.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

Can't argue with that. Investments exist within the framework of taxes, estate planning, distribution plans etc. Every survey ever taken shows wealthy people hate the term wealth management, but I don't have a better term to offer. All I do know is that financial advisor is not the proper term.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@Todd_Sykon @AdvisorJobs Correct term being investment advisor, a fiduciary. Financial advisor title is almost always a key way to spot a product salesperson.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@TRHLofficial Oh dear god, let's stop bashing different Christian belief and arrest some crooked politicians or stop some fraud or catch some pedophiles or pass a budget or work together for world peace. Anything other than this bullshit.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@INArteCarloDoss You seem happy about Iran attacking their friends and Muslim brothers in Iraq. I mean half of Iraq is basically Iran. Please explain, I'm curious.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

Two things can be true at the same time. It's wrong to rape prisoners of war. Hamas is evil and did a terrible thing. It's fair to judge both sides for the evil they do. It's not fair the judge all people of each group by the acts of a few. It's not jews are bad, Muslims are bad, it's some people are bad.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@IanCarrollShow @IsraelMFA You really are insufferable these days

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@leadlagreport Isn't opec basically our enemy? Why do we care if this disrupts opec?

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@leadlagreport Why is it empty? Do we ever really need this in the post 1970s? I honestly don't know but curious.

[Gregory Burd @gregb412]

@kurtsaltrichter Rotation is real... but artic Mexico.. lol.. oh my
