      His dementia would have to severely deteriorate his mind to the point that he was completely different person for him to backtrack now.

      He’s already been told that if the straight remains closed and the bombings continue that he risks a global depression, and Trump loves to talk trade. Surrendering is him trying to salvage what little he has left to lose.

      He could change his mind on everything but this. This is where the stakes are too high and he can’t afford to lose anymore ground.

        Lol I see you’ve brought logic to a dementia fight, you’ll find out soon enough this isn’t a solid plan

          The ghouls surrounding him don’t care about the US, or how much this costs it. They only care about money and since a large part of the stock market is disconnected from reality they gotta make it especially bad because Trump’s Friday dump and Monday pump has stopped working.

        Nah, some reporter will ask a simple question, and he’ll go off about how tough he is, and Iran will do whatever he demands, or he’ll clobber them, and they’ll just quit the talks.

        If I were them, every time he opens his mouth, I’d go silent for a month. Let him twist for a while, before coming back. In a year, maybe he’ll learn to keep his mouth shut, but I doubt it.

          lol This is great (toxic) fun if you’re dealing with a difficult family member, but very dumb if you’re interacting with a belligerent nuclear empire.

        If only there were some sort of American resource that could supplement the oil supply and reduce our dependency on foreign nations… Oh well.

      More likely, he’ll just run his mouth, acting like my stupid uncle at Thanksgiving, until Iran says " Fuck You," and walks away.

      Iran doesn’t really want this deal, they’d be happy to grind him through the Midterms. They’re throwing him a bone, but he’ll be too stupid and arrogant to understand that, and they’ll eventually pull their charity and go home.
