According to President Trump's new standard, if al-Qaeda or Iran were to target Washington with "only" a few drones or missiles, and nobody was killed or injured, America should stand down and sign a deal with the aggressor. That approach will not bring peace to the region, including Lebanon and Israel. It risks teaching every side the same lesson: rearm, regroup, and prepare for the next round. A pause is not peace if everyone is simply loading more weapons for tomorrow.
@SuitablePolitic The only sense is that the US thought they could achieve the goals quickly, they could not and are not willing to pay the long-term price.
The rest is just theatrics.
Happy birthday Mr. @POTUS,
Happy birthday Donald.
This year your birthday comes at an auspicious time.
America celebrates 250 years of freedom -
a great nation built on liberty and faith.
I wish you continued strength and vigor as you lead America towards a bright future of peace through strength, and as we continue to bring the U.S. - Israel alliance to ever greater heights.
Prediction:
The MOU will be signed, negotiations dragged for a couple of months, and Trump just leaves it at that. No actual deal will be ever reached, just like the tarrifs.
@DrNeilStone This is actually a huge concession by the US. Iran hardliners don't want to be seen shaking hands with the people who killed their leaders.
This helps them sell it inside.
