The ignorant pig in a wig does not understand what he is dealing with and neither do his minions who were doing the "negotiating" for him.

Iran is never going to do a nuclear deal like the JCPOA again, no matter who is in charge there. The US has shown that it cannot be trusted in the slightest to abide by such agreements, so why should they? Breaking that deal and dropping bombs like Trump has was a generation-level blunder, even before this latest round of mass murder which obviously makes things even worse.

There is no walking back, getting out, restoring normalcy. It's fucked up for decades.
