Subject: Re: The downside of "peace"
Trump has capitulated, to the chagrin of Iran hawks and the Israeli right. And there's no imagining it or wishcasting it away.

Remember your Shakespeare. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much". Trump didn't promise a quarter of what Iran wanted. He didn't promise them half. He gave them everything they wanted, including every dollar of the reparations that Iran wanted. Typical "JC" move: promise anything, to get what you want now.

Now, Trump is throwing shade on his own deal.

Trump Says Iran Is ‘FINISHED’ After Cancelled Negotiations — As Israeli Attacks Threaten Deal

Trump said "we'll play out the 60 days. They get no money, not ten cents!" referring to the 60-day period after the agreement was signed overnight Wednesday to negotiate outstanding issues, including the future of Iran's nuclear program.

The deal included a commitment from the U.S. to lift sanctions on Iran and unfreeze Iranian assets in foreign accounts in the final agreement, to be made within 60 days.

He said it out loud. Stalling tactic. Watch the kabuki dance be extended past election day.

I am holding my CVX and XOM, as they are in my cash account. Sold the COP in my IRA, because no tax implications. I anticipate the COP will be lower in the escalating "peace is at hand" kabuki dance in October.
