Trump's War on Iran Ends with a "Triumphant" Tehran

[Uncle Joe]

The United States and Iran have officially signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war in Iran. The 14-point agreement includes an immediate end to fighting on all fronts including Lebanon, an end to the U.S. naval blockade on Iran and the full resumption of maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. It also proposes easing oil sanctions on Iran, unfreezing Iranian assets and launching a $300 billion investment fund to rebuild Iran, all while tabling the question of Iran’s nuclear program, which is instead set to be negotiated over in the coming months.

“The United States is more eager for this war to end than Iran is,” says professor Vali Nasr, who teaches at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. “In Iran, they’re very triumphant.” We discuss the long-term effects of the war, from the growing U.S. distrust of Israel, to the new generation of political leaders in the Islamic Republic, to the evolution of Iran into a major power player in an increasingly multipolar world.

1. I am sick of these unnecessary and meaningless wars. We continually increase our

defense budget as if it is necessary, but in reality just takes aways things from the programs that could help the people of this nation. Instead of it being about security or national defense it is about contracts, corporate interests and then the government (both parties) uses fear to extort the $$$.

Why do we worship killing people, policing the world, and making the world more dangerous instead of taking care of those that fund this insanity.

Enough is enough!
