The trouble is that Trump and magas will never see the harm until he is long gone and we are stuck sifting through the ashes of what America once was. It will take time for the Iranian regime to reclaim momentum, and by then, the news cycle and maga memories will have moved on. The finger pointing will begin again only at the point of a new, pressing threat, and then the blame will go to whichever Democrat happens to still be standing.
We as a nation need to build an affection for the long game, but election cycles naturally quash the need for politicians to embrace that. Look at Congress's approach to budgets. Long game, gone; punting down the road is now the norm. If we are simply following the immediate cycle of price increases and drops, that's where our mentality will stay.
TACO!! As usual, Trump makes a threat. Equally as much as usual, he puts off any action for "two weeks" which means by then the threat might well be forgotten. The man is as volatile as an airport's wind sock.
The reference to the collapse of the Soviet Union assumes that it was progress. Is Russia really a better place than it was under the leadership of Gorbachev?

Great post KKG!

Same regime, different people.

Thank you for what-ifs and other considerations to look at what has recently happened and may be in the near future.
