The text of the coming Iran deal has not been released but I support it regardless. In my view, diplomacy is better than war. Iran getting access to foreign investment is fine. It doesn’t mean we were “defeated” nor does it mean Iran “won.” I don’t think that framing is particularly useful here because the war isn’t that important.
The best thing that could happen is for the conflict to end and relations to go back to normal.
In the latter half of the episode I talk about what loyalty to Trump and MAGA means in practice. I discuss why it is the case so many on the right have lost their minds over the conflict and why I think this is unfortunate.
