There's an assumption that Trump represents a permanent shift in US foreign policy.

But the polling tells a different story.

On NATO, Ukraine, Iran, tariffs, and the importance of democratic allies, Trump is out of step with most Americans.

The official administration line is: the US-Iran War will end with a deal shortly after the election. Which means energy prices will start coming down shortly after the election.

Trump said it today at the UN!

This... is weird, right? Like, they're not saying "in two months."

They're not saying "here are the necessary steps, oh, look at that, it gets us to late November."

They're just openly saying "after the election," with no explanation and no proffered causal mechanism connecting the midterm to events in Iran.

They can't think this fools anyone.

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians
On Iran, Trump asks, "Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival" for future generations? A reminder: he is addressing the United Nations, whose charge is to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.
