    No, its not victory, its just them getting whatever they want and us giving it to them in order to make the killing stop.

      Trump doesn’t give a shit about the killing, what he want is for the oil prices to go down again.
      But he can only achieve that by accepting that he lost, and that’s the part he doesn’t like.
      For Trump it’s always about winning, he can’t stand to look like a loser. If he can make it look like a win, and get the oil prices down, then he will accept a deal. But it’s very hard to see what such a deal could be?

        The killing isn’t going well for him, makes him look weak. He cares. Oil prices aren’t coming down before the election. One of the first things Iran’s current regime on the world stage did was ratfuck a US president by pulling some shit like this. They are aware.
