Yesterday the Great One posted about the bad idea of trying to make any deal with the Iranian regime, and used our history wiht North Korea to make his point:
We made deal after deal with North Korea for decades, under presidents of both parties, and they lied and cheated every single time. They now have 50 nuclear missiles and add 6-7 every year.
Iran will cheat and lie. It’s working with North Korea. It’s learned rope-a-dope to drag things out. This genocidal regime needs to be removed now, while it’s weaker than it has ever been. For our sake and the people being slaughtered there. I say respectfully, to do otherwise will be a monumental and historic blunder, which is why I don’t believe President Trump will fall for it.

He’s not wrong. Putin is also doing the same thing with Ukraine, just biding his time and refusing to concede and make a deal with Trump to end the war.
The big difference in Trump’s dealing with Iran is that he’s already obliterated their nuclear program with actual bombs, and that sets a completely different tone. But like Levin suggests, he shouldn’t just stop with their nuclear program.
But the way I’ve seen Trump work is that he starts with peaceful means and when he’s exhausted that possibility, like with Iran’s nuclear program, he then strikes. He did the same thing with Maduro, offering to make a deal with him and he refused. Now he’s in an American jail cell.
I think Trump is doing the same thing here, and we’ll see how this plays out. Trump is a decisive Commander-in-Chief and Levin is right, that Trump won’t fall for Iran’s games.
