1. This needs to be amplified. I have heard this said before...but not enough.

I also heard that Witkoff did not understand some of the granular explanation of what they did or didn't have for nuke capability.

They didn't bring any topic specific experts or seasoned diplomats to the discussion. The Omani foreign minister and British official were the professionals in the room, and they saw a deal was offered by Iran.

2. And I'm pretty sure congress republicans know this.......................

shithole got no approval, and besides Iranian leaders being killed, two schools were bombed killing 100s of children and school staff.

Yes, they killed children and very little is said about it.

3. Trump thought Iran would fall as easily as Venezuela

such a fucking moron

[MLWR]

15. He is incapable of rational thought.

[B.See]

4. File under more Trump crimes against humanity.

[FakeNoose]

5. This will all come out in Chump's war crimes trial at the Hague

I'm pretty sure Jack Smith is already advising them.

[PatSeg]

6. Yep, he wanted and needed a "war"

Any war would do and meanwhile, he had Netanyahu giving him all sorts of options in regards to Iran.

A huge diversion was necessary and Trump is a master of diversions, even though he tends to be terribly obvious. He could end up destroying life as we know it in his over-the-top attempts to divert public attention from his crimes and corruption.

How can so many let one pitiful little man do so much damage in such a short period of time?

7. Netanyahu is the puppet master here. War with Iran has been his

dream for 40 years and he finally found his president.

[PatSeg]

11. The perfect American president for Bibi

The same with Putin who has been cultivating him for 40 years as well.

[OGBuzz]

16. That many decades long cultivation of Trump by Russia is finally paying dividends.

"We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within". quote attributed to Khrushchev, 1956

[PatSeg]

17. The Russians certainly know how

to play the long game. They have extraordinary patience. Some assets become helpful, some don't. Trump was a huge winner for Putin and now Khrushchev's prophecy/threat appears to be coming true.

[OGBuzz]

18. "Russia, Russia, Russia" was always real. Ever since the day Donald and Ivana first set foot in Moscow in 1987.

[PatSeg]

21. And the louder he denies something,

the more likely it is to be true. "Russian Hoax" and "Fake News" usually indicate someone struck a nerve.

[OGBuzz]

22. It's his signature move, he is always either confessing or projecting.

[PatSeg]

24. He is painfully predictable

It is amazing that such a transparent person could be so consistently obvious.

[sop]

8. "How can so many let one pitiful little man do so much damage in such a short period of time?"

I just can't understand it.

[PatSeg]

12. It goes against everything

we've witnessed and experienced over the years. Belief in democracy and the constitution often trumped power-hungry authoritarian leaders.

Republicans turned their backs on Nixon when he went too far, though I started to sense many of them during the Bush years were headed in this direction. I cast a lot of that blame on Newt Gingrich, but there is plenty of blame to go around.

[OGBuzz]

19. Half the population wanted a vulgar White House sequel to the Apprentice.

[debsy]

9. He wants to completely destabilize the country and manipulate the markets

Everyone single thing he does is for his own personal benefit.

[PatSeg]

13. And sometimes

I think he does super shitty things just because he enjoys the chaos and pain he causes. Other people's distress brings him a perverse pleasure.

10. Can we get a link to this Guardian exclusive?

I see this unlinked meme on a lot of FB and Insta sites, but would like to see the article. I do see that on Feb 21 the Guardian reported that:

Iran is refusing to export its 300kg stockpile of highly enriched uranium, but is willing to dilute the purity of the stockpile it holds under the supervision of UN nuclear inspectorate the IAEA, Iranian sources have said.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/21/iran-refusing-to-export-highly-enriched-uranium-but-willing-to-dilute-purity

On Feb 27, The Hill reported:

Oman’s foreign minister said Friday that Iran is offering to give up stockpiling enriched uranium as part of a deal with the U.S. related to its nuclear program.

Iran currently holds a stockpile of between 300 and 400 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium that nuclear experts have warned can be converted to a nuclear weapon.

Al-Busaidi suggested that Iran has agreed to downgrade the enriched uranium.

14. Doing a job ON you,NOT a job FOR you.

So fill in the blanks as to who is the actual employer?

[OGBuzz]

20. America elects a King. Trump is the only one to fully exploit that fact.

[SWBTATTReg]

23. And just recently, tRUMP threw a fit and illegally kicked Canada out of the G7 conf. unilaterally. The five remaining

Countries to their credit eventually all stood up, and left too, leaving tRUMP all by himself. Idiot is going to destroy everything that all of us in the US have worked so hard for, in building relationships w/ the world, being citizens of the world, developing trade relationships, etc., all done w/o tRUMP to begin w/.

tRUMP needs to be be Amendment-outed of the office of the presidency, he is not being a good president, but instead, letting his emotions govern his actions.

[dickthegrouch]

25. Since his war still hasn't been sanctioned by congress, his billions can pay for it.

I’ll be damned if my taxes pay for a cent of it.

It’s no longer an official act, and therefore unworthy of public funds to support it. Any more than the ballroom should be paid for by taxpayers.

26. Definition of a "DEAL"

I win, you lose. ... Donald Trump
