As the Iran War drags on, one thing has become very clear.

Iran was not anywhere close to being the threat to either the United States or Israel that Republicans claimed it was.

Iran was a huge threat to world economy. It would take an intelligent administration to get what the world needed, an arms deal thar helps get Iran back into the world community. A deal agreed upon by Iran, Russia, China, the EU and the US. Obama had that deal.

Trump tore that deal up. 10 years later, Iran retaliated against the murder of their leadership by a foreign enemy by using the greatest threat they had, slowing down the world energy supply and along with it the world economy. Trump force Iran to do the one thing they could do, and thus caused the worse oil crisis since the 1970s. What a fucking idiot.
