    Yep. All theater for domestic consumption.

        Trump has ended 2 wars with nuclear capable foes… Just change the name of the award to The Nobel/Trump Prize. Normally, I would advocate for putting Trump’s name first, but in this case it sounds like you are saying Noble Trump, which is appropriate, and saying Noble Trump/Nobel is silly.

        You know what? Just take Nobel’s name out of it. The Noble Trump Prize…

          Surely a more appropriate prize for avoiding another Nagasaki would be The Fat Man Award?

          I was only joking

            Why do I feel like Trump is about to get rolled?

            They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                I will cop to that.

                But I have trouble believing that Israel would say ‘we haven’t confirmed the end of their nuclear program and are no where near the end of their ballistic missile program, but we’re good.” At the same time Iran says ‘we used to think that if we lived according to Allah’s will he would make us victorious, but we were fooling ourselves’.

                They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                      I purposefully wasn't specific. In all the ways one can get rolled.

                          Yeah, that’s a wide range of possibilities. And it could still happen.

                                  But I'm very, very interested in the future behavior of the mullahs. If it doesn't squelch the proxies the job is not done yet.

                                    They'll turn inwards on their own population to prevent any progressive reform in Iran

                                      Really good summary, though probably a little hopeful in some aspects. Still worth the read.

                                        Yeah, it’s a bit optimistic but still a pretty clear eyed look at where things are.
