I get the feeling that if Trump dies and Vance succeeds him [View all]

The war with Iran will quickly end since its not good for his oligarch friends in the long run. As long as Trump is president, nobody can successfully negotiate a peace agreement.

We saw it again today. Vance makes some semi reasonable statements aimed at reaching resolution, and hour later Trump undermines it with a deranged rant, threatening further bombing and the takeover of the strait.

Heck, even if Trump had send a skilled team of diplomats, the end result would be the same. Until he shuts up, nothing will work.

I am not sure why foreign countries even bother attempting to negotiate anything with us ( not just the war but tariffs, economic treaties, etc..) since all of that can be invalidated by Trump the minute its inked and signed.
