In reply to the discussion: US officials downplay text of the Iran agreement, saying it doesn't account for back-channel commitments [View all]OldBaldy1701E
(11,815 posts)7. So, all that for stock options?
They make a world-wide disruption and then end up on their asses and having to pay Iran just to try and patch up what they ruined for everyone.
Why any other country would want to even be 'diplomatic' with this joke of a nation anymore is a surprise to me. It is obvious that we are becoming a real threat to the entire planet.
And, we don't seem too worried about what this nation had wrought. That is just as surprising.

I might be wrong but @ the end of day the U.S. taxpayers will be on the hook for paying for Trump's war.

Of course they are. One of the many, many reasons to not rush into an unnecessary, trumped-up war of choice.

Backchannel commitments for what? The rebuilding business deals that Trump wants the bribe money to be spent on?

A "political document" only existing as a birthday present for the loser in the white house.
