It's funny but also sad because it looks like the peace deal is already collapsing from both sides: congress doesn't want to pay the IRGC and Israel keeps attacking Iran who just closed the strait again. |

Death of the author moment: this is an abstruse part of the satire and not a typo. |

Those examples are both the same side |

Israel never stopped doing war in Lebanon, the peacedeal never existed. |

Iran closing the straight with seamines and aerial bombardment is an Iran decision. |

You have to keep your allies in check when negotiating, otherwise what's the point. |

Congress paying Iran was never part of the deal. The deal was to push private companies to invest $300 billion in reconstruction. Now I'm fairly sure that Trump construction consolidated might get paid by congress to rebuild the bridges Trump defence blew up, but it'd just be a hunch |

There was never a deal. He just needed to announce it for his birthday fight. I don't know why anybody thought this would stick. Iran is enjoying their new power in the World, because they just demonstrated that they can crash the global economy with a phone call. Who TF needs a nuke when you can do that? If I were Iran, I'd just twist MAGA balls until after the Midterms. |

You suggest the USA should invade Israel? It hasn't exactly worked out well with Iran. Israel has very clearly demonstrated it will not be deterred by any amount of threats or soft power. |

Unprecedented number of Iranian leaders are attending peace talks in Switzerland right now I realize this is completely contrary the IRGC state news that claims they have never and will never negotiate with the USA. |

Maybe it's different in autocratic regimes like Iran, Russia, and China, but the US Government cannot "push companies to invest" in anything without giving back at least some guarantee. Regardless, Congress is going to vote the proposition down. |

Without the USA backing Israel implicitly I don’t believe Israel would have the balls to continue being the assholes they are. They act with impunity because the USA has always, even if only begrudgingly, stuck up for them. Israel demonstrates time and time again it is able to act with impunity because we won’t hold it accountable. |

USA is the largest backer for Israel but far from the only, and pulling out all military support could very well lead to much larger loss of life as well as end up giving the eastern bloc nearly uncontested control over the middle east. I mean, honestly, do we really think Saudi Arabia or Iraq are going to fill that niche? |

Ok? Israel gets away with what it wants because the USA backs it implicitly. Your statement doesn’t change what I said or what I think or refute it in any way. SkullFucker destroyer of worlds could get control of the Middle East for all I care if the genocide stops. |

When Skullfucker aka Xi Jinping gains control of the middle east, more people will suffer and die. Not less. Chinese sponsored Iran killed more iranians, mostly protestors, this year than the USA. |

If anything I was getting the discussion back on track, discussing Irans role in this war's start and continuation. Claiming that USA controls Israel which controls Iran was off topic lunacy. |

Your weird defense of Israel is the most telling to me, it’s like I mention them and you … had to get on script? I didn’t say the US controls Israel. |

Are you just responding to the most recent thing you read without context of your other responses or what? Look dude I’m just going to not interact with you, this is not the first time you just say nonsensical shit like you’re not following a thought process and it’s just not worth the effort. I similarly don’t interact with tankies. |

Even his router ban or his admin favoring SpaceX contracts isn't worth investing $300Bn in Iran. The USA companies can't even justify keeping private hospitals running stateside, how tf are they going to pay to build some in Iran? The oil fields aren't getting privatized so ain't no Exxon Mobil going to do it. Trump has been aggressively rewarding coal and oil and it's still getting pushed out of the market by clean power. $300,000,000,000.00 is a lot of fucking money. |
