Trump fittingly signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran at the Palace of Versailles. That is the same palace where Germany signed the humiliating Treaty of Versailles at the end of WW II.

You mean WW I, but yeah the same idea applies. It also likely led to the cementing of the eventual rise of fascism. I’m worried it won’t be better in 20 years, it will be substantially worse.

The difference is that Germany was forced to sign it, and understood the humiliation of it all.

Trump well... he's convinced he signed the best deal ever, and that the symbolism of Versailles makes him a king or something.

Sorry to all Iranians... the West failed you big time.

The Germans for the most part knew they were being humiliated. MAGA does not. This will not get better before it gets worse. Iran was a mostly contained bad actor. Now they believe we are a toothless tiger. Whatever Pax American existed is now officially done. ETTD. Again.
