"a boon to U.S. farmers."

So tired of this trope.

The biggest boon to U.S. farmers is illegal immigrants.

That's why ICE leaves those illegal immigrants alone.

Even if Iran does use the unfrozen assets to Buy American, that would free up other money in Iran for use any way they want.

Trump lies or Trump hallucinations?

Who can tell the difference?

Maybe start with the hundred plus billion in infrastructure we destroyed. Perhaps a girls school.

@#5 ... What gives? ...

Well, the Strait of Hormuz was open (wide open) before Pres Trump waged an unprovoked war on Iran, and a war that apparently taught Iran about their control over the Strait and the global ramifications of their control.

Now, Pres Trump seems to be desperately trying to return to the way the Strait was before February 2026.

Will he succeed in undoing what he has done?

Darn, you mean there is some resentment around the fact that we murdered over 80 of their leaders in a sneak attack, a clear war crime that led to a war of aggression?

Weird, right? Plus taking out that girls' school. And, stepping back just a sec, how many shattered lives did the US create during this war? How many people did we kill? Seems almost like they might have a chip on their shoulder for ... reasons. But, hey, enough of that, let's make a deal, right?
