    Look no further than Maduro for proof of that. You think Clinton would have fucked that up? An American president who is too incompetent to execute foreign policy beyond playing dumb handshake dominance games is a net positive for the world.

      Although canceling the Iran deal and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement (weak as it was) were monumentally stupid and harmful decisions that other presidents may not have made

        No argument there, except for the stipulation that Iran would be far better off with nuclear weapons. Even that may not matter in the end though, because imagine a world where nobody gives a shit what the US thinks any more. How many more countries are going to be inclined to put up with Israel's bullshit without the US backing them up on everything.

          Honestly I think Iran will be fine now after their multi-billion dollar deal with China they made last week in return for oil.

          Agreed, they were both shit but withdrawing from them is even worse. That would be probably be a good outcome (the world not giving a shit about the US anymore) but we are still far and away the planet's premier military power so I'm not sure how likely that is.

      Kinda agree with this, on the other hand, I suspect if Trump gets reelected we're going full in on Iran. The guy needs a disaster in his second term that tops coronavirus. Iran's on deck.
