Bad Deal Coming…

Peloni:  The context which makes a bad deal bad is that it is being brokered with the largest state sponsor of terror in the world which has never adhered to a single internationally agreed agreement since the regime took power nearly 50yrs ago.  If a deal is coming, it is going to be a bad deal…  The good deal was always tied to Trump’s feigned call for Unconditional Surrender, but that would require a ground force to be involved, be it from the Kurds, the Iranians, the Sunnis or the Americans, and herein lies the real obstacle to bringing such a good deal into reality.

Text: 

“I don’t make bad deals,” says Trump. Here’s a critical reminder of how the first ceasefire was agreed to, including “the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.” See below for Trump’s original announcement.

So that was 2 weeks to stop the spread, so to speak.

Iran never complied and we continued the 2-week ceasefire for 60 days+. Instead of behaving as the victors in this war, we’ve been chasing them ever since, and squandering our leverage. It’s clear the previous ceasefire was, in fact, “a bad deal.” Everything publicly available about the current negotiations suggests an even worse deal is on the way.

All those employed by Trump who were teenagers when Obama made the 2015 JCPOA opposed the war to begin with and don’t realize that they are saying the exact same nonsense that Team Obama said then.

Those of us who understand and have worked on this issue for more than a decade are not having now, just like we weren’t having it then.

  1. Trump it appears has not figured there is no such thing as a good deal with Iran, if you want to get to zero nuke program, no more ballistic missile production and no more sponsoring of the Hezis, Houtis, and other terrorists such as the Hamas.

    Money they demand in deal will all go to militarization of IRGC and not to the people of Iran but to the IRGC and fellow terrorists.

  2. “Trump Says Iran Deal Should Include Additional Countries Joining Abraham Accords”

    “WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday that any agreement with Iran should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered agreements aimed at normalizing relations with Israel that were forged during Trump’s first term.

    In a social media post, Trump said negotiations are “proceeding nicely” but tied any eventual agreement to expanded participation in the agreements first signed in 2020.

    He pointed to Saudi Arabia and Qatar as countries that should “immediately” sign on, followed by Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates became the first countries to join in 2020.
    He wrote that “after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords.”
    The president said he brought up the Abraham Accords plan with leaders during negotiations on Saturday.

    Trump suggested he may accept “one or two” countries declining to sign, but said most should be willing. Egypt and Jordan already formally recognize Israel and have long-standing peace treaties.
    It remains unclear when or how any deal with Iran might be completed, or how Abraham Accords membership might affect an agreement. He suggested even Iran could eventually sign on, if an agreement is reached.
    The accords are a series of diplomatic, economic and security agreements created with U.S. influence during Trump’s first term, originally between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, followed by Sudan, Morocco, and more recently, Kazakhstan.

    They were framed as an effort to promote cooperation among countries in the Middle East and North Africa, and the administration saw them as partly paving a path toward full ties with Israel.”

      “it’s good to want things movie quote You are likely thinking of the 1990 movie Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael, starring Winona Ryder.In the film, the character Dinky Bossetti delivers the famous, slightly cynical but iconic line: “It’s good to want things…” in response to a classmate confessing he wants to kiss her.”

      Without ever looking at him, Looking off into the distance, as if they were just stating their future hopes and dreams and after she says she wants her “real” mother, a movie star about to visit the town, which happens to be her home town, she fantasizes about, to sweep her away from her humdrum existence to a glamorous life.

      I think it’s just delay as a war tactic. Both sides think time is on their side so they keep piling on unrealizable demands. It’s a game of chicken.

      “what is the game of chicken +5 A “game of chicken” is a metaphor for a hazardous standoff in which two opposing sides push a conflict to the absolute brink of disaster, risking severe consequences. The goal is to force the other party to back down first, proving who is the bravest (or most stubborn).The Classic Scenario: The phrase comes from a theoretical driving game where two cars speed directly toward each other.To Swerve: If one driver flinches and swerves out of the way, they are deemed the “chicken” (a coward) and lose.To Stay Straight: If neither driver swerves, the result is a catastrophic head-on collision, and both lose.Real-World ExamplesIn everyday use, the idiom describes any situation where neither side wants to compromise.Business: Two companies locked in a price war, waiting to see which one goes bankrupt first.Politics: A “shutdown” standoff between political parties threatening to default on national debt to get their way.Everyday life: Roommates refusing to take out the trash, hoping the other one gives in first.”Chicken” in Game TheoryIn mathematics and economics, the scenario is used to model competitive behavior. It highlights a dangerous reality: if both parties are equally stubborn and refuse to yield, both suffer a devastating outcome. To learn more about the mathematics behind these standoffs, check out the Wikipedia Chicken (game) page or the Investopedia Game Theory explanation.”
