500M. You get the idea.

Nevermind, I see you were off by a factor of 1000. That seems par for the course.

Ok, fine. You’ll get your normal pay.

Well worth the cost of defanging the world’s worst regime that’s been bullying the Midfle East for 47 years.

Trump should’ve campaigned on not allowing anyone to bully Middle Eastern countries.

What kind are you?

The message board variety . .

Trump should’ve campaigned on not allowing anyone to bully Middle Eastern countries.

For MAGAs like Ram, the optimal outcome is whatever Trump actually does, not what he promised to do.

This sure sounds like Obama thinking. Maybe he was right after all.

We didn’t get squat in Obama’s deal. Kicked the can down the road…at best.

What are you thinking we might be getting now that’s better than what we got then?

With this campaign, the US has already accomplished 85% of its goals. We just need to close with a good final settlement.

And what about that settlement would make this better than what we had under the JCPOA? Let’s set a benchmark so we can see if Trump meets it.

That’s all you can really do with nuclear nonproliferation. The reality is that in 100 years, virtually every country will have nukes and likely even more powerful weapons.

The whole purpose of nonproliferation is to kick the can down the road for as long as possible.

Iran: “WE ARE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STRAIT”!!!

US: Disables then seizes control of an Iranian ship attempting to depart the Strait they claim to control.

If it's CLOSED then Iran has control.

Doubly closing it does nothing for the US and world economy.

Which can change at any moment.

Um, what are those goals exactly? As of today that is. The goals seem to change daily.

Be patient. We don't know how often he gets updates.
