Not that I think this peace deal

will actually happen but if it does what exactly was accomplished ? Billions spent, thousands dead and wounded, costs for Americans skyrocketed. We are worse off than ever and it seems nothing was gained. The media is celebrating this win by trump. Is this what winning looks like ? I sure hope there is more than 40% voter turn out in November.

And now that they won't, and they're squeezing him for every concession, he's desperate for it to be over. So we give them billions, they still 'own' hormuz, and yeah, no nuclear oversight
