The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What would "Bibi" do, if the Europeans said "ok, we will deal with Iran....Iran, lets go back to the JCPOA, and the US can get stuffed".
****

Retire.

And then Israel would be re-branded because it's not 'BIBI' at the helm and for Progressives it's all about an individual "Bibi"...."Putin", etc. And then the anti-AIPAC stuff might be kicked down a few notches and Israel's rule over America continues unmolested for perhaps a decade more.

I wonder what Iran wants most out of this ---- because they are in the driver's seat.

MeThinks the "toll" is the bargaining chip they'd give up in return for a symbolic "we keep the uranium but you can leave Webcams up to watch" us type of deal.

They SHOULD troll Trump - literally name it the Trump Toll, and keep it FREE for nations who do not genuflect for Israel---God would that be a pound of flesh but in the end, I think they want to stay nuclear--- because once you actually have nukes, America -- Europe ----Israel can't screw with you but rather, they'll pay you off and coddle you. China and Russia be it overtly or covertly should backstop this for Iran be it money, loans, humanitarian stuff. infrastructure repair, etc. This could become a full on proxy war that they could win and in the process increase foothold in Middle East ---a tremendous asset for when China decides to re-think the World Order as we've known it for the past 60 years or so.
