The minute corporate media gets its sweaty, panic-mongering hands on the details of this deal, all we are going to hear is how horrible and gyppy it is. That\u2019s the narrative they\u2019ve already written. And that\u2019s exactly why I am pre-debunking it right now. I am boldly taking the position that I do not care what the terms of the deal are. As I said yesterday, the terms don\u2019t even matter, because when you compare it to literally every other Middle East conflict we\u2019ve ever stumbled into, the Iran operation was shorter by an order of magnitude and billions of times better for America.<\/p>\n<p>Just count up the benefits we already know about. The Iran operation ended OPEC\u2014 within two months! It got all the fractious countries over there on the same page, made a joke out of the Useless Nations, starved China of oil, put America on top of global energy for the first time in history, pressured the Europeans ,Effectively ended Nato, et cetera. None of our previous Middle Eastern adventures did anything helpful at all; they just made everything worse.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is my warning. If anyone dares me to defend the terms of some Trump-Iran deal that corporate media and Team Candace call horrible, here is what I will do. Remember, I warned them. I will say that\u2019s fine, please compare it to all the other Middle East peace deals that other presidents have negotiated.<\/p>\n<p>After all, if we want to be intellectually honest \u2014a concept the media abandoned sometime around 1994\u2014 we can\u2019t just criticize the Iran deal in a vacuum. We need benchmarks. We need context. How can we possibly tell how truly stinky the Iran deal is without recalling all the super-terrific, totally-not-disastrous deals that past Middle Eastern wars have produced?<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s go ahead and pull the records on Bush\u2019s Iraq, Obama\u2019s JCPOA, and 20 years of Afghanistan. Let\u2019s compare those deals to the Iran deal, and see which one ended best. Let\u2019s contrast what we got from each previous war-slash-deal to what we get from Iran. Let\u2019s compare the total cost of the 20-year Afghanistan war and the 8-year Iraq war with the cost of Trump\u2019s three-month Iran war.<\/p>\n<p>I bet we will discover some nifty statistics.<\/p>\n<p>And to be perfectly fair, I will let the critics who are unhappy with the deal (which, again, they haven\u2019t seen yet) do all those calculations for themselves and then report back. There really isn\u2019t anything to talk about until those comparisons have been made.<\/p>\n<p>Or, better yet, we could just refuse to step into the media\u2019s narrative trap of criticizing the Iran deal without historical context.<\/p>\n<p>JEFF CHILDERS<\/p>\n<p>PS &#8230;..MUCH MORE FANTASTIC NEWS ABOUT FISA AND BILL PULTE AND A NEW (SSHHH) EXECUTIVE ORDER AND HOW IT ALL TIES IN WITH DOGE AND THE IC&#8230;.HERE<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeandcovid.com\/p\/doge-this-tuesday-june-16-2026-c?\">https:\/\/www.coffeeandcovid.com\/p\/doge-this-tuesday-june-16-2026-c?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR THE BLACKPILLED EEYORES AMONGST THE (UN)FAITHFUL WHO CANNOT TAKE A &#8220;W&#8221; &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..
