“I told Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks — sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel,” Biden said.

      So… Trump pulling out of the accord got Iran back on course to developing a nuke, which made them more powerful, which is getting Putin what he wants, which means Trump is not doing what Putin wants?

      Interesting reasoning.

        You must not be aware of “cognitive dissonance.”

        Trump is either Putin’s puppet or he’s worse for Iran than Biden.

        You can’t have both because Putin supports Iran.

        Sorry this had to be spelled out for you, but this is my last reply on the matter.

        You may have the last word.

          Believe it or not, he can both do what Putin wants sometimes and then not do what Putin wants other times. That’s the problem with using a crazy person as an end to your means.

          Incidentally, your praise of Trump is interesting considering you said this a short time ago-

          This was by far the dumbest comment chain I have ever read to the end. I know you thought you sounded smug and smart, but jesus was it cringe.

            Yeah.

            That’s a normal reaction when being faced with your cognitive dissonance.
