Analysis is on the basis of what the administration released as a framework for the agreement.

You are delusional. We’ve lost 13 Americans, depleted our weapons stock, spent billions to get back to where we started, cost consumers billions in gasoline expenditures due to unnecessary supply disruptions. No regime change. No more nuclear deal than already existed. Made US an international laughingstock. We don’t control the Strait. We don’t hold all the cards. Trump laid our hand down.

No one else has dropped bombs. What are you even talking about?

That option was not negotiated. Bombing is an option that always exists. Why wouldn’t they live up to the agreement? It’s basically the sane one they had. I would have approved of him never starting this fiasco.

President Surrender squealed “calf rope” to the country he claimed three months ago he would accept only “unconditional surrender” from. This is the most embarrassing foreign policy blunder in American History. Not to mention costly. Get their oil back flowing. Give them their money back, à la Obama. Kick in $300 billion more to help them rebuild what we destroyed. Fix everything back the way it was before it started. The nuclear weapons agreement is even less stringent in wording than the Obama/Kerry deal. Not winning. Humiliating defeat.

If you believe that, then you can’t believe in the free market. Are you a closet liberal?

The politicians serve as the straw man for the oligarchs. Since the Citizens United case, division has increased almost exponentially. The politicians are bought and paid for by the ruling class, and they gladly take the heat for the real villains as long as their trough remains full. Never forget the value of the straw man to rulers.

“Statistically women do not shoot themselves in the head”. What does that mean?

US and China would be the #1 and #2 seeds in global military rankings. US and Iran - #1 and #16. How often does #1 seed brag about taking down #16 seed? Your comparison is quite flawed. Trump IS weak. Hegseth is a goon.

Yeah. Timothy McVeigh got just what he deserved.

The marginal voter will stay home. Trump’s prior successes were because he motivated the marginal vote. He done lost his mojo.

That is such a BS statement. I’ve seen grown men contort in agony over Biden, Obama, Clinton - worse than any contortion over the clown. And you call names. TDS is a loser’s dodge. A cheap bail.

Just go with wire service reports, Mat, and keep making up your own mind. All talking heads serve the dollar and the dollar only. They don’t care about truth, only spin and eyeballs. Conservatives, liberals, don’t matter. AP, Reuters employ reporters who have a code of ethics. Talking heads have no ethics.

That’s against people in his own party. Only Trump would crow about cannibalizing his own.

I saw no data backing anything claimed in the first article. That makes it opinion, at best. Their second articles stated “by our definitions”. If you set the definitions and cherry pick your data, any point can be made. That don’t make it right. Anybody who interprets economic data is doing it to support an agenda. Gotta take all of it with a box of salt. Right, left, or center.
