wrong. Max pressure campaign like we saw in Trump 1.0 to get a better deal. That was the alternataive not tried because Obama and Kerry are bad negotiators who don't understand the Middle East and were too eager for a deal...any deal. So the Iranians gave them a bad deal. But even if you believe the JCPOA was the best deal ever, the end was always going to be what Trump just did because even if the JCPOA had been followed, Iran would be on the brink of the bomb today. So love the JCPOA if you like but you can't love it with any consisitent logic and then decry what just happened. I don't like Trump and wish it had been a different President that gets to claim the credit but it is what it is.

You think I'm wrong and I think you're wrong ... so we agree to disagree.

True except I have facts and logic and you have wishful thinking.

No, you have hyperbole. But I’m sure you’re racing down to the recruitment center. Just like you did in 2003z

What is hyperbole? Which part?

Your entire schtick since Israel’s initial strikes has been hyperbolic. The idea that withdrawing from the JCPOA 8 years ago to conduct these strikes now is asinine. And you keep dodging the question, when are YOU heading down to enlist? Or conversely, where the fuck were YOU between 2001 and 2021?

So you have no argument, just personal attacks. Thank you for the demonstration.

All you have is emotional manipulation and fear mongering. Your response wasn’t worthy of anything else.
