Looks like the "peace talks" I keep hearing about are going well

Trump just now in the WH had this exchange:
Q: If a war with Iran could cause a worldwide depression, are you willing to risk economic catastrophe?
Trump: Well, nuclear weapons supersede depression.

Don't you feel safer now?

The gaslighting continues and there is no logic or process behind it. Please reflect this in your coverage, dear Corporate Media.

MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction.

Iran wants them so they don't get attacked - just like any other nuclear power does.

I note that the US appears unconcerned that NK is going to acquire a nuke, and THEY ARE CRAZY.

The Mullahs aren't crazy. They're theocratic assholes.
