Here is what happened in the Iran war.
President Trump likely had intelligence that showed us Iran was very close to weaponizing a nuclear weapon and if we didn't act soon, it would be too late.
We did underestimate the amount of leverage Iran could get through shutting down oil shipping lanes.
So, when we crushed their military, they were able to threaten the world economically which changed Trump's calculations.
Things don't always go perfectly in war. It happens.
Because Americans are mostly crybabies and if gas goes up a dollar they're gonna pout and send his polls down 15 points.
So, they had to change strategies. Instead of Iran's complete surrender, it turned into getting the best deal we could get.
But at the end of the day, the deal we got is still a win for America.
Iran's nuclear infrastructure is buried under 100 feet of rubble and they've agreed to stop pursuing it for now.
Does anyone think they will completely give up their nuclear ambitions? No. But President Trump has probably delayed it by 30 years.
So whoever's president in 2056 will have to figure out what to do.
President Trump did what he could do in the moment.
We also aren't giving Iran any money upfront that money is coming from other Gulf Coast countries.
Again, is the outcome perfect? No.
But is it the best President Trump could do because the public was forcing him to thread the needle between not wrecking our chances in the midterms with $6 gas, but still stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions?
Absolutely.
Justin Gaethje was literally in the Oval Office before his fight, looking at the actual Declaration of Independence.
Then he walked out as a 6-to-1 underdog and beat the piss out of his opponent to win the first undisputed championship of his career.
I genuinely don't care what your politics are. That's one of the coolest sequences of events I've ever seen in sports.
Am I really supposed to think this isn't awesome because people decided to make it political?
Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
