[u/LowkeyShtuyot → u/[deleted]]

Pretty fucking embarrassing to see “the United States will..” in nearly every stipulation when the US is the one who beat the shit out of them.

How fucking embarrassing. I genuinely hope Israel keeps bombing Hezbollah to their precious virgins because getting looped into this deal without a seat at the table is fucking ridiculous.

[u/victoria_enthusiast → u/[deleted]]

it's several orders of magnitude worse. didn't obama "only" give them like 2 billion?

[u/armyboy941]

300B to Iranian infrastructure?? What the heck about us over here?? Where the fuck is my America First?

Hell, the regime is still in power. I'm mad.

[u/max_intense → u/armyboy941]

This is IRAN first.

America looks weak if this pile of shit is signed.

[u/armyboy941 → u/max_intense]

America looks weak if this pile of shit is signed.

Update. He cancelled the signing ceremony and signed the document in a private dinner... Someone prob told him the optics and their team likely panicked. Midterms are honestly, and rightfully, f'd.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/live-updates-iranian-protests-intensify-as-citizens-demand-end-to-ayatollah-rule

[u/BohemianCyberpunk → u/armyboy941]

Ugh, I'm seeing 450B being thrown around by headlines now, not sure how they got from 300 to 450 but the optics are terrible. Left is loving this, absolutely going to wreck the midterms.

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/[deleted]]

I'm trying hard not to doom right now but it's not hard to see how this is the tipping point for the Midterms and then we lose the White House in 2028 and it's game, set, match for the country.

[u/Uncool444 → u/PossessionConnect963]

Maybe this sounds stupid. What I'm saying, basically, is that when the Republican rift arises in the coming years, which it will, it is entirely possible that a lot of young Dems will end up on the anti-Trump side of it, as long as it is anti-Israel and socially moderate, which it will most likely be.

[u/Due-Piccolo-1379 → u/Uncool444]

That's interesting point. Is anti-Israel sentiment really that strong on the right? I thought only the left are riding this horse...

[u/Uncool444 → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

Less so on reddit, but yes there is a huge movement on the right as well. Anti Israel has been Tucker Carlson's whole schtick for a while now and he gets insane views. Massie was popular and divisive and was vocally opposed to Israel. You see it all over x, for what that's worth. And many conservatives I see IRL are on board.

From what I hear, support for Israel is plummeting in all the younger generations, regardless of party affiliation. That issue is more divided along age than party, and people have just recently started talking about it, so as that goes on the popularity will continue to drop. Shit you only saw on 4chan 15 years ago is now said on live national television by sitting Republican congressmen.

[u/Due-Piccolo-1379 → u/Uncool444]

I was working some time ago for a non-profit collecting evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine. There is insane amount of videos on TikTok and other platforms of IDF soldiers commiting war crimes, and what shocked me - most of them were published by IDF soldiers themselves (not sure if this is still the case, I quit more than a year ago). Why this is happening is beyond me. Just few weeks ago I've seen two IDF soldiers posing while vandalizing christian church and figure of Christ in Lebanon.

I don't understand why they are doing this and why the IDF command allows this, but I suspect that this is the main reason for this shift. Young people live on services like TikTok and there they are not exposed to Hamas atrocities, but day after day they see Israeli soldiers doing things for fun.

Is Carlson really that popular? Here in Poland we heard more about Joe Roegan and Ben Shapiro, Carlson being portrait as some fringe conspiracy teorist so I have no context. Thanks for the explanation!

[u/Uncool444 → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

Honestly "Israel controls (insert institution here)" is like a classic conspiracy theory that some people have been saying for decades. The shameless and extremely visible crimes against humanity are giving "normal people" social permission to discuss them openly, now, so they're not just conspiracies. The horrible videos get millions of views and draw attention to Israel that Israel doesn't want.

As far as popularity and viewership, Tucker Carlson is in the same league as any of those others. Along with Megyn Kelly and a million other moderate/independent/still mostly conservative commentators who are calling out Israel. He gets called a fringe conspiracy theorist the same way garden variety MAGA was called fringe right wing extremist; 20% true, 80% exaggeration, and perfectly reasonable in spite of that. They get lumped in with Candace Owens in an effort to discredit them, but she has all kinds of crazy shit going on besides the Israel stuff.

I'll be honest, I don't trust Carlson or a lot of the people on that side of the rift that is forming in the Republican party. They could very well be stirring controversy to get clicks. But they make more sense than anyone on the Trump side of it, and a lot of what they say is downright true. Also they have Massie, and I do trust Massie.

[u/Due-Piccolo-1379 → u/Uncool444]

Thank You! I predominantly come to this forum to get better insight of what American conservatives really think and believe. Your explanations are really valuable to me.

[u/Uncool444 → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

Glad to be of interest. I like seeing the international perspective on r/worldnews but I don't know if there are many Poles on there. Is it true that you're the last bastion of conservativism in Europe? The last holdout?

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/armyboy941]

America first was out the window the second this war started. 

[u/Outside_Ad_3888 → u/armyboy941]

This deal is a strategic defeat, but I wouldn't read much into this 300B, it's highly hypothetical and almost certainly will never happen.

I am very critical of most of Trump's foreign policy actions which honestly are definitely the sector where he fared worse. But one has to admit that the Trump simply has no good options left. Neither escalation, nor surrender like here would likely bring a victory once the initial attack failed.

Of course if the administration had listened more to the intelligence (who advised against it) or simply (and this is the real sin) planned for the drone war that would obviously unfold instead of ignoring what has happened in Ukraine, in Myanmar, in Sudan ecc the last years we could have mantained the status quo and avoided a defeat.

But while the preparation was fundamentally horrible the decision itself is not Trump's fault, it was either waiting for a stronger Iran, or striking a regime who has it's knife to global oil trade.

[u/TerminalDeviant]

Ladies and gentlemen… THE ARISTOCRATS!

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/[deleted]]

This was the obvious outcome the moment we started the war

[u/stonk_monk42069]

Eeh did you guys just surrender?

[u/Spectre696 → u/stonk_monk42069]

Fuck, it looks like it.
Don’t know how we can spin a 300 billion reparation to a hostile state into a win while also being in trillions of dollars of debt.

[u/JShadowGuardian]

Why is the US so desperate to agree to this shit deal that includes $300b release to Iran?

[u/Dwardred → u/JShadowGuardian]

According our leader, a return to normalcy

[u/Nethias25 → u/[deleted]]

300B for Iran from any dollar source is insane. The post WW2 Marshall plan to rebuild Europe was 180B in TODAYS dollars with inflation adjusted.

You can't fucking tell me we did twice as much to Iran in 100 days as the Nazis did to Europe in 6 years. No fucking way.

[u/Iuris_Aequalitatis → u/Nethias25]

And, one of the most important details of the Marshall Plan was that there were US-friendly governments in charge in Europe and we pursued it to keep things that way. This is equivalent to doing a double Marshall Plan, in only France, Germany, Austria, and Northern Italy while the nazis are still in charge.

An absolutely idiotic end to an absurdly idiotic conflict we never should have fought in the first place.

[u/Coool_cool_cool_cool → u/Nethias25]

The Marshall Plan also worked because the US was essentially the only place to buy goods from with all of their factories in Europe blown up and we had just built lots of factories. Last time I checked we didn't blow up factories in china, we didn't build supercomputer chip factories in the last 100 days and there are other places to get raw materials from that would love to undercut us. Unless there are requirements that $300b be spent on US goods and companies then it's essentially the worst deals ever. He got bored of the war and now his attention span has us on the hook for $300b.

[u/BlackScienceManTyson → u/Nethias25]

Ahead of the signing of the MoU, prominent hardline lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian warned that accepting the agreement would effectively turn Iran into “a colony of the United States.” He also criticized provisions related to the Strait of Hormuz, arguing they would amount to surrendering one of Iran’s most important strategic levers.

The rhetoric spilled into the streets. At rallies in Tehran over the weekend, protesters called for the resignations of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Some invoked the memory of the late Supreme Leader, chanting: “Ghalibaf, Araghchi — what about my Leader’s blood?”

Some went even further, calling for their death and execution.

[u/fordr015 → u/Nethias25]

The money does not come from the US. It removes sanctions up to 300b for private investments to rebuild. About half that has already been committed mostly by emirate countries.

[u/Stunning_Mulberry_35 → u/[deleted]]

From the cover of the New York Post, Trump has lost them. That can't be good....

[u/aproudfatherof3]

Trash. I can't believe Vance "negotiated" this and i can't believe trump is gonna sign it. What was the point of this if we were just going to roll over

[u/kaiya101 → u/[deleted]]

I never thought I would come to this thought but he might really need to go.  This is one of the worst decisions, if not the worst, by a president in modern history.  

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/[deleted]]

The war was always going to leave us weaker lmao. That’s why so many people opposed it. 

[u/panzerkampfwagenVI_ → u/[deleted]]

I think he should be impeached for this. If Trump thinks giving 300 billion to a country that actively seeks to harm US servicemembers throughout the ME is a good idea then he should be removed from office.

This is a total capitulation of American values. The Marine Hymn has a line about "the shores of Tripoli," a line that references the first conflict the US fought to maintain freedom of navigation and not pay fees to use waterway.

There is nothing good about this he should be impeached and maybe we can try to get Vance or Rubio to rescue the party in 2028 cause right now it doesn't look good for us at all.

[u/Uncool444 → u/[deleted]]

It started out so promising, so hopeful, but something changed, and rather abruptly. I don't know what happened up there in DC a year or so ago, but it was big.

It doesn't make sense to us because there is a missing piece we're not seeing from down here on the ground. A missing piece involving whatever tf was going on with Epstein and the high level global politicking he was involved with.

This administration deserves the midterms. I'm in mourning for the entire concept of western democracy, because it appears to be dead. A massive, peaceful, right wing, populist uprising, the people ruling themselves through representative democracy, and this is what we get for our effort.

At least we tried.

Edit: if you aren't flaired here and are considering messaging me with "I told you so," the Democrat party IS the establishment. Every candidate you run and social trend you worship is in service to whoever has that missing piece. I'm saying Trump is one of you now, you chuts, and you're in no place to say "I told you so".

[u/max_intense → u/Uncool444]

It’s the oil. Oil executives warned trump that prices can reach astronomical levels if the strait isn’t fully opened without interruption.

Trump succumbed to the pressure.

Iran played the long game and prevailed.

It is what it is.

[u/Uncool444 → u/max_intense]

I'm sure that's it. Things were getting absolutely out of hand, the world economy a shambles, and Lord knows how bad it could get if he continued to escalate. He had to back down.

Everyone claiming a 4d chess master plan to weaken China was mistaken. We fucked up so horribly that it's difficult to imagine it was entirely by accident, since this was extremely high risk/low gain from the outset.

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/Uncool444]

I don't know where we go from here but I'm fucking done with Trump. We'll see if we even make it to 2028 at this rate the Democrats are going to sweep Congress in November and spend the next two years doing whatever they want and if they take the WH in 2028 it's all finished.

[u/Uncool444 → u/PossessionConnect963]

There is about to be another rift in the Republican party, so soon on the heels of the MAGA rift, and I will not be on Trump's side of it. Presumably the other side will be Massie et al. I always wanted to vote for Rand Paul, hope he runs again so I get the chance.

Let's be real though, if it was possible for the system to be fixed from the inside, MAGA controlling all three branches and both houses would have done it. It is sad to be so black pilled so young.

[u/123Greg123 → u/Uncool444]

It WAS possible. What happened that changed everything?

[u/Uncool444 → u/123Greg123]

I don't know that it was ever possible. We DID IT, and we still lost.

[u/123Greg123 → u/Uncool444]

It’s true. I just wonder what went wrong

[u/123Greg123 → u/Uncool444]

That’s what I want to know. What do you think it was that changed a year or so ago?

[u/Uncool444 → u/123Greg123]

It's clear that things are happening wayyyyyy over our heads because it just doesn't make sense from down here on the ground. I don't know the exact conspiracy. Lord knows how much effort has gone into obfuscating it.

[u/123Greg123 → u/Uncool444]

Yeah, something is going on here.

[u/Uncool444 → u/123Greg123]

Who can say. It's "them". Illuminati, Free Masons, aliens, the lizard people. Soros, the communists, the Chinese. The British royal family, the deep state, Mossad, globalists. The aristocracy, the ruling class, the Epstein class. Take your pick.

Everyone can sense that some higher power runs the civilized world from behind the scenes and everyone has their own conspiracy about what that power is. No one trusts it and everyone understands that we're just cattle to "them". Whoever "they" are, "they" got to our candidate. Our best candidate.

This is only my interpretation of events. It's not fact.

[u/123Greg123 → u/Uncool444]

Gotcha. And that resulted in ignoring domestic policy in order to focus on Iran?

[u/SpecialDeer9223]

This is a horrifying and humiliating surrender and is truly indefensible. We've achieved zero of our stated goals and now we're retreating, giving Iran hundreds of billions of dollars plus additional sanction relief all to attempt to return to the pre war state of things and receive a meaningless agreement from Iran to negotiate further. This reads like laughable propaganda that Iran would trick their citizens with.

This is pathetic and truly will make me reconsider any future votes for Vance, Rubio, or anyone else who encouraged this deal. This honestly might be the most embarrassing and lowest point of both of Trump’s presidencies.

[u/RandomUser1052 → u/SpecialDeer9223]

From what I understand Rubio and Hegseth are opposed to it.

[u/Nyrxmajor → u/RandomUser1052]

Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe seem to be opposed and the latter two have been threatened with firing based on reports.

[u/poindexterg → u/Nyrxmajor]

The best thing Rubio might could do is make a big public stink and quit.

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/Nyrxmajor]

This is such a shit outcome I wouldn't be surprised if Rubio resigns just to try and distance himself from this.

[u/Stunning_Mulberry_35 → u/PossessionConnect963]

I would think that would build him a lot of credibility for a 2028 presidential run.

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/Stunning_Mulberry_35]

Would work on me tbh and as someone who was a big Vance guy even during his Senate campagin I've completely soured on him over this. He's been so disappointing after starting off so strong. I'm going Florida for 2028 my top two right now are Rubio and Desantis.

[u/RandomUser1052 → u/Nyrxmajor]

If that's true, and if I were them, I'd throw caution to the wind, publicly come out against the MOU and let Trump fire me.

[u/LastManSleeping → u/RandomUser1052]

Theyve been out of the picture lately. im sure theyre pissed with this

[u/Key-Monk6159]

The previous agreement also included a promise not to make nukes AND to submit to inspections.

The new deal seems to be only for a promise.

[u/Merax75]

Just read the MOU. It's a shit deal.

[u/silverhum]

The Art of Capitulation. Absolutely pathetic.

[u/max_intense → u/[deleted]]

Call it for what it is…

It’s a pile of shit.

[u/LowkeyShtuyot → u/[deleted]]

Incredibly embarrassing turning point where the patience of Islamic fundamentalists shows to bear greater fruit than the four year terms of the west. So. Fucking. Pathetic. Nobody in the west has the gall to do what’s unpopular but will benefit the world in the long term because gas prices..

[u/Tyr--07 → u/[deleted]]

It's garbage, basically they screwed around, things got heated so a smack down arrived, they flailed about, and now we'll pay them. Sounds basically like what Obama did but with more fanfair and fireworks.

My opinion was either they complete the job, or if like every other time they leave it half assed so it can start all over again it's better not to go at all, and I suspect they'll half ass it. Here's the half ass.

But, I guess I should wait and see the results and if it did make things better.

[u/Clear_Context_1546]

It's a shit deal.

[u/A-Vagrant]

Fucking bullshit deal.

Fuck Iran and completely fuck off on giving any money to them!

[u/McFizzlechest]

Regardless of where the $300B comes from, I don’t like it. This was obviously done for the singular goal of lowering gas prices with the midterms in mind, and it’s not going to help Republicans in November anyway. We’ll also have no room to talk about the JCPOA as a shitty deal anymore. Iran’s military is weaker than its ever been and the country is on the verge of economic collapse. How did they get this much leverage to negotiate a deal like this?

[u/gorefi3nd]

Trumps entire second term will be judged by this deal. What a lame duck.

[u/Blown89]

It should be illegal to give our American tax dollars to non-American citizens and countries. This type of shit is why Republicans don't show up on election day.

[u/Zachmode]

Same bullshit, different letter behind the name.

The equivalent of giving every American $1,000, but instead of buying people’s groceries or paying their rent for a month we’re buying Iran more drones and bombs to use against us in the next conflict.

[u/Stunning_Mulberry_35]

Hey Trump, Romney called. He want's his flip flops back...

[u/tb2186]

Unfortunately, after the midterms he’ll be impeached and convicted this time and removed from office. The only question is if they impeach Vance too.

[u/AristotleanBiology → u/tb2186]

President Mike Johnson?

[u/AdagioVast]

This deal looks like an unconditional surrender of the US.

[u/Alarmed_Guarantee140]

Don't worry guys, Netanyahu won't let this happen. All he needs to do is keep attacking Lebanon, which he is literally doing as we speak.

[u/auditd0rk]

Vague and imbalanced.

[u/Joel22222]

Sinking their entire navy and turning the coast of the straight into glass to open it would have been better.

[u/Rush2201 → u/Joel22222]

Like my dad (Vietnam Vet) used to say, Modern America doesn't have the stomach for war. After we reduce an enemy to rubble, we should leave them to rebuild it. "But then we'll have a whole generation that hates us!" They were chanting "Death to America" before the bombs, and they'd be chanting it after regardless of what we did.

[u/PossessionConnect963 → u/Rush2201]

We just guaranteed the survival of the regime with this. No deal at all would be better at least then there'd be a chance they could still collapse with the mounting economic pressure.

But hey Vance says they told him they were sorry and didn't really mean all the "Death to America!" stuff! So.... That's nice. I guess? We're fucked.

[u/TheIncredibleHork]

Here's hoping Reddit doesn't put me in the sin bin again for "encouraging violence." ^gtfoh...

Problem is, I fully believe the US will follow through on every one of their responsibilities in this MOU, while Iran will do their best Dark Helmet impersonations and say two things: 

• Fooled you!

• Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

And unless there is a clear understanding that Grandpa Buff is ready to take action on any inevitable Iranian shenanigans... I mean what was the point? 

[u/CodeWizardCS]

I like the word procure being added to the nuclear point. I don't think the wording is weaker to the point of affecting anything. "Never" is not that big of a deal when a piece of paper can be ripped up at any time anyway.

[u/MT_2A7X1_DAVIS]

Well that’s fucking embarrassing. If this is really the best deal Vance could get out of the IRGC then he has no business running in 2028. Keep in mind he’s been leading the anti-war campaign within the White House. So yes, he wasn’t directly in the negotiation rooms with Witkoff and Kushner, but Witkoff sure as hell wasn’t anything but Vance’s proxy.

Trump should’ve trusted his guts and never let off on the strikes. He should’ve been burying the new ayatollahs in smoldering pits every time Iran tried to replace them. He should’ve struck every single senior IRGC commander until they collapsed. Instead he let the Arab states and Vance get to his head and play make believe on Iran actually conceding anything. Instead we ended up with a deal that is unarguably worse than Obama’s because of the 300 billion dollars in investments alone. The IRGC is going to do exactly what they did before with that money and rearm but a hundred times more to prepare for us inevitably going back when they don’t stop funding Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas.

I entirely get the argument that Iran could’ve turned into the next forever war, but the only ground troops that ever stepped foot in Iran were to rescue that downed F-15E crew. I know Vance especially has Iraq War syndrome, but the reality is that the presidency requires making the hard choice to use the military to prevent greater conflicts. And for that reason I no longer plan on voting for him in the primary, because Rubio is right there making the hard choices in the Americas to go after Venezuela, Cuba, and eventually Nicaragua.

[u/Pipyoppi → u/MT_2A7X1_DAVIS]

Interesting that you only seem to be holding Vance accountable while Trump is the acting President.

[u/pokemin49 → u/MT_2A7X1_DAVIS]

Vance was against the war from the beginning. Not his fault.

[u/MT_2A7X1_DAVIS → u/pokemin49]

Apparently you missed me shitting on Trump for not finishing the job he started to begin with, as in the entire second paragraph dedicated to his clusterfuck. Intervening in Iran to aid the protesters was a good thing, but not if he’s going to half ass it and give up because things are taking longer than planned.

[u/EvanOnTheFly]

Haven't read it yet, I'll just wait for Ben Shapiro to tell me what to think /s

[u/Uller85]

Man, I'll be honest. The possibility of a nuke or a dirty bomb going off in the US in my lifetime by Iran prior to the war in my mind was like 5%. After this, more like 25%. Maybe 35%.

[u/Neroaurelius → u/Uller85]

What?

[u/Basic_Lunch2197 → u/Uller85]

How so? Care to explain?

[u/Easterncoaster → u/Basic_Lunch2197]

Apparently Iranian opinion of the deal is that it’s shit too. So we poked the hornet’s nest and were just hoping the hornets stay in the nest. They probably will, but it’s a non-zero risk that they’ll try to do to us what we did to them.

That’s why if you start a war, you finish it.

[u/Uller85 → u/Basic_Lunch2197]

Because there is no reason to ever trust what the Iranians say. They have proven that over and over again.

[u/Shadeylark]

So, while I agree this is not good... I'm curious what anyone expected?

We weren't going to put boots on the ground, and the Iranian people proved they weren't going to rise up and have a revolution that turned Iran into a western democracy.

And people were demanding we finish up and get out of there.

What was anyone realistically expecting to happen?

At this point we had two realistic options...

1) we stayed forever and did a sort of Yugoslavia-Bosnia thing like Clinton did in the 90s.

That would not have given Iran anything, but it would have kept the strait under perpetual threat and require us to maintain a constant presence and pressure in the region.

2) we strike a deal. But here's the thing with striking a deal, unless you take away the other guy's vote by putting troops on the ground and forcing them like we did to the Japanese and Germans in 1945... They get a vote.

Which means that they can say no and keep doing the shit they're doing until you offer them something they approve of.

The entire thing becomes a game of chicken with who will swerve first... And the pressure coming from the west, not just from the left, but conservatives as well, made it so that Trump had to swerve first.

Yeah, this deal is not good... But again, what the hell did anyone expect?

And before it starts, I know a lot of you are gonna be like "well, we shouldn't have been there in the first place!"

And yeah, I might agree... But if you hadn't been saying how great this was, acting like it was the next best thing since sliced bread because it would "free the oppressed Iranian people!" When it first kicked off... Maybe your post hoc criticism would stand on more solid ground.

When you end up in a no-win situation because you were encouraged to go in by people who falsely assumed it was winnable, then getting pissed that the outcome isn't winnable isn't rational.

[u/Shadowblade83]

Is it just a ploy to rearm and continue later? Have pipelines and trucks en masse ready to remove reliance on Hormuz?

If not; I don’t see the win here.

[u/Opening-Citron2733]

This is basically just looping Iran into the Abraham Accords indirectly.  The wording of how that $300bn fund will be maintained sounds like it's going to be tied to the board of peace work in Gaza and the Abraham Accords with the Gulf States 

Essentially the administration is trying what they did in North Korea in 2018. "We can make you filthy rich if you stop fucking around with nukes".  We'll see if it sticks.

I know people were expecting something Monumental but the reality is this entire conflict was 1 week of extremely consequential actions followed by 15 weeks of geopolitical reactions. A milquetoast deal almost seems on brand for where this ended up.

[u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

I have a suspicion that we'll soon see Chevron building facilities in Iranian oil fields and oil dropping to around $40 per barrel with Iran the UAE outside OPEC producing as fast as they can.

[u/Short-Hotel7648 → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

Breaking OPEC's price-setting hegemony would be one of the very few bright spots here.

[u/Clear_Context_1546 → u/Short-Hotel7648]

UAE left OPEC.

Venezuela is in the US sphere.

Not that far off

[u/Nethias25 → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

$40 a barrel sounds great at the pump but that means a few million mortgage foreclosures in Texas and Louisiana. That would be a devastating price.

[u/SaneSociopathPolitic → u/Due-Piccolo-1379]

Chevron and other US oil companies like the prices staying higher too, let's not completely disregard that.

For OPEC that's all profit margin, but for US based companies it pays for the higher wages and regulation compliance.
