IMO, that surrender document signed in Versailles yesterday isn't worth the

price of the paper it's printed on.

Trump is impulsive. He pulled out of the Iran Agreement that John Kerry and Barak Obama brokered and signed.

What makes anyone think he won't do it again?

Exhibit Two: Trump pulled out of NAFTA, a trade agreement between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Made his "adjustments" to a new agreement, The USMCA. Now he wants to pull out of that.

All in all, who's going to make Trump agree to anything he signs?

I agree there is no reason to believe this is legitimate. Perhaps an effective barometer is judge based on how apoplectic Bibi becomes.

Trump impulsively got us into a war. We are run by idiots and so we lost, and now Trump makes press with his tail between his legs.

Otherwise, Trump will burn of nation and maybe leave much of the World to ashes.

There is no path to recovery for what the people of the USA have already lost in credibility, allies, wealth and power.

They need to make an example or someone else will do worse than what he does.

was worth the paper. Long before he was POTUS he was signing worthless contracts. Thus the over 6000 lawsuits and repeated bankruptcies.

Regardless, I think he is out of there anyway. This was supposed to be cheap glory, it has been everything but that. Iran reads him well nu making his exit pricey, he is paying because he wants to go and is spending other people's money anyway.

He is over Bibi and will hang him out to dry. Bibi promised cheap victory and instead delivered Trump as a hostage. You do not come back from that with Trump. Israel would be best off dumping Bibi in the next election and finding what peace they can.
