A Win's a Win

Or at least until the Iranians renege on the deal, which they will.
The Strait will be opened without tolls, the Iranians promise to not seek nuclear weapons, and the blockade is ended.
Hip hip hoorah! But it still depends on the Iranians doing what they say they will do - which is something they have never done before.
Still, the Iranians have been set way back in their quest for nukes and are now in a bad position to finance and arm terrorists around the globe. It wasn't a touchdown but a nice field goal win.
Sometimes that is the best you can get. Of course we'll be doing this again in ten, twenty years, but at least we have some breathing room.
Of course the Iranians will spin this as an American defeat, and the media will do likewise. I see Barack Obama is already criticizing it as a failure, as if anything he negotiated was anything but a failure.
It wasn't an absolute victory but was a victory nonetheless. To mix sports metaphors it was a win on points rather than a knockout. But a win's a win!

Don't worry, guys. Trump really does know what he's doing. Honestly! The only thing we have to worry about is the people who follow him into the Oval Office, especially if they are Donkeys.

Dana, I sure hope he DOES know what he is doing here, He usually does but that may not be true in this case. This is a bit out of his depth,
Not interested in a pyramid Mike but those Hanging Gardens things would sure look nice in my backyard...
