But that's what happens when you lose a war. It's not 'ridiculous.'

It is absolutely ridiculous because there was no reason for this 'war' to start in the first place.

I certainly agree that the war was 'ridiculous' (stupid, illegal, evil too). Given that that's the starting point here, I think the terms of the settlement make a lot of sense.

Ultimately this is a kick the nuclear can down the road kind of understanding, except now Iran has control of the strait and I think has not committed to never blocking or charging tolls. Also, it seems like the are unfreezing assets immediately and sanctions pressure goes down. Ultimately this is a pretty bad outcome considering this was a mess of the U.S. own creation.

There is zero point in negotiating with the US at this point. They don't uphold their own agreements and everything they do is about market manipulation and protecting their pedophiles

It's going to take years, if not decades to undo the damage he has done to the United States, if they can at all. I hope they pull through on the other side.
Hopefully the mid-terms go through and the two houses can be flipped.
Also, those demands are absolutely psychotic.

Six years or so ago, Trump signed CUSMA touting it as the best trade deal ever.
His tariff actions violate it.
US Chamber of Commerce warned that Trump's new tariffs related to this breakdown could cost Americans 13 million jobs.
Something would intervene before they lost all those jobs. But Trump's approval on the economy is 28%. In 6 years, he's racked up more than 25% of the US $40 Trillion debt. If Trump loses the House or Senate in the midterms just 70+ days away, he becomes lame duck. He's also suffering politically from the failed Iran war - and many other issues. The timing of this deal falling apart is bad for him politically. Trump's TACO nickname stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out". I don't think we've heard the last of it in the near future but Carney may sweat him out to help tank Trump's midterm polls - leaving Trump no option but to steal it as they seem to be preparing to do.
