Yes, it's true. POTUS decides US foreign policy with some limits of funding by congress. POTUS has the power to act unilaterally and quickly in matters of foreign policy. This makes him very powerful. Article 2 of the US constitution empowers POTUS on foreign affairs.

Such bullshit. Trump decides foreign policy for the US, no one else, per the US Constitution. Sorry you don't like it.

Hey - I hope Canada makes a ton of money on oil sales, just like the USA. No reason to get a bunch of Americans killed when you can wait for the Iranians to go broke from a blockade. Iran is screwed. Americans untouched. Just another genius move by Trump. He's never in a hurry to make a bad deal. Must have learned from Obama on that JCPOA deal.

A soccer field for the kids? Now that is a great dad!

Why are you in such a hurry to make a bad deal? Obviously, Trump is not in a rush, but you are. The Blockade is in full force, which strangles Iran economically, and they can't touch the USA. Meanwhile, there is PLENTY of oil for sale in the Gulf of America!

Funny stuff SD! Canada ain't no prize either!

Keep telling yourself that - along with Iran is winning, and Elvis has been sighted.

Why in the world would the USA be in a hurry to put boots on the ground? You think Trump is stupid? You think he wants to incur a bunch of dead Americans from roadside bombs and mines when he can just continue obliterating the infrastructure assets? When he can just cut off the regime from oil exports and bleed them dry? Trump is not as stupid as you think.

This is very true. You have a regime that will either die at the hands of Israel/US or will die when the Iranian people execute them. So they will fight. If you haven't noticed, the regime has been bringing in thousands of paid fighters from Iraq & Pakistan. How long will that last if they are not paid? Where are all the Iranian citizens lining up to fight on behalf of the regime? This is the last gasp of a dying regime. They have no way out. No allies. No army. No oil. No money once the blockade sets in. Time is not on their side.

100% correct. Too much wealth, for too long, no threats to your country, makes you forget what got you there. IF you want to see tough people, check Ukraine & Israel.

Lots of control! Uranium bombed and buried, 100% under satellite surveillance, waiting for someone to try and retrieve it, only to be bombed again. What a way to live!

You don't know that - you are speculating. This war has been 7 weeks. Iran is cooked, and if the naval blockade is kept up another month or so - watch for the collapse. IF the US/Israel decide to speed up the process, they can watch these talks fail, ceasefire is over, and the real brutal destruction starts. There is NO WAY this regime is stronger than before. You have 50 years of military investment in rubble now. Look at GAZA. Look at Iraq. You will see the same with Iran IF Trump decides to go that route. Even at this point - the destruction is in the hundreds of billions. How will you rebuild if you are being economically strangled? YOU CAN'T. You have a choke point, Kharg Island, whose fate is totally in the hands of Donald Trump. Iran could not be in a worse position. Where is China, where is Russia, where are the Iranian allies? Iran is done - it's just a matter of how much longer and how fast.

You're joking right?? The greatest military victory possible with 13 deaths (tragic, absolutely). And the world without a nuclear Iran... an Iran with their military absolutely destroyed...an embarrassed Iran that screams "Death to everyone", crushed with all their terrorist leaders dead....an Iran military that EVERYONE and their brother were terrified of, that turns out to be total paper tiger. And you're worried about $4 gas? That's a real joke.

It's not that tough to understand - don't make it so difficult. Iran is completely broken. Trump has his boot on their neck. Iran has a chance to exit gracefully - but the regime is in charge and has a death wish. Therefore the regime will take the whole country down with it. You've seen this movie before with the Japanese & Germans during the war - all is lost - but the leaders continue to kid themselves. No great mental model is needed when it's plain as day right in front of your face.

Sure - nobody is winning.... Iran has gotten smoked and can't do a damn thing... but nobody is winning. Right..

You'll never get Trump - he's way too far ahead of you on just about everything, certainly Iran and your claims of Iran winning. You play checkers, he plays chess.

Always looking out for you Canadians - I know you worry about us in the USA - much appreciated, but we are in very good hands. You are as well with Comrade Carney.

Not to worry Canadians -- China Carney to the rescue! https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c4g43y5g93yo

I did not say a thing about fraud. Zero. What I said was women could not get welfare if there was a married man in the house. Therefore, the incentive was to NOT marry a man, but have children out of wedlock and get their welfare payments, which were deserved. Unfortunately, it resulted in young black men growing up without a male role model - which is a true tragedy. The Great Society envisioned by President Johnson was counterintuitive - and ended up destroying the nuclear family.

If he can't, he's sure to find it here along with Epstein and Cult...

Marco is 100% on point here. The welfare system in the USA requires the mother to be single for welfare benefits. Since the 1960's the single mother rate exploded, especially in the black communities with incentives against having a father in the house. The figures looked something like this: in the 1940s/1950s - the out of wedlock motherhood was around 20% , and after 1970 soared to 75% - all due to Lyndon Johnsons "Great Society" Program. Totally backfired due to incentives. No fathers are needed when you can marry the government. Instead of eliminating poverty - it destroyed the family structure in America.

Thanks John! Iranians have to push the envelope and try and rattle Trump..

US & Israel loading up to hit Iran again.

Greg - when it's all over and the boys get bored - we will be back to Epstein and Cult !

I'm just laughing at you guys with your so so predictable meltdown over Trump. It's been a great few weeks - don't let Trump ruin your summer!!! Hope you get your $200 oil to prove you right! God Save the Queen! God Save NATO!
