Thanks to Trump repeatedly going back on deals, lying about deals, and pulling out of previous agreements, other countries can’t trust the United States. If a deal requires the US to actually follow through, especially if the other country has to give something first, then that deal is now unlikely because Trump can’t be trusted. This limits the possible deals the US can make.

Trump is ranting in fear of losing and of being Jimmy Carter and then talking tough. He’s acting like he’s losing it. He’s being left outside of the Situation Room because he’s so erratic that he may jeopardize missions.

In tough diplomacy, the world came together to prevent Iran from getting a nuke. Even Israeli intelligence said Iran was in compliance. Trump blew all that up by leaving the agreement unilaterally, claiming he could get a better deal. Instead, he gave us war.
The Obama-Iran deal set back Iranian nuclear development by over a decade, and was intended to be the start of negotiations and the relationship, not the final say. They hoped the next president, Hillary Clinton, could push deals forward. Instead, Trump was elected and took a different path.

If we take the literal purported lives of certain historical religious figures like Muhammad as a way to live our own lives, then that leads to immoral and barbarous behavior. It is better to see them as inspirations in some spiritual or mystical way.

More empty oil tankers are coming to the US due to the Iran war, but the US can’t produce, refine, and load oil fast enough to fill them. At least not in a timely manner.

The two-state solution seems dead. After the second intifada, Israel gave up on it, and has resolved on a one-state solution where Israel dominates the entire territory and Palestinians not living in Israel proper are second-class citizens.
The October 7th terrorist attacks accelerated this. They don’t see the Islamist terrorists as deterrable, so the only option is to dominate them. They can’t make peace because a small group of terrorists can always explode any peace.
