The Ukraine mineral deal was brilliant in my opinion. Rewards the US for Ukraine survival, nothing if it fails. That means Vlad the invader doesn’t get everything he wants.
I think it’s past time ( like 40 years) talking to Iran. Everytume they launch a missile or one of their supported groups performs a terrorist act, just bomb them for a week non-stop. Don’t say a word, and don’t stop. They will get it very quickly.
Trump gets to continue to support Ukraine. Putin realizes that USA is not going to stop arming Ukraine.
Eventually, Putin will sue for peace.
It may take another year for a deal to be made.
Give Israel a few dozen bunker busters, Thermobaric bombs, and let the bombing begin.
