The Terms of Our Surrender
Powerline ^ | June 17, 2026 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 06/17/2026 7:29:19 AM PDT by animal172

To think that our military accomplishments snatched this defeat from the jaws of victory is mind-boggling. Here is the text of the MOU as reported by Bloomberg:

Thought all might like this opinion on the proposed Iran deal.

Because we know EVERYTHING that’s going on behind the curtains. 🤔

I do not believe “terms” originating from an Iranian outlet, qhich is Bloomberg’s source.

Two days ago when I posted this was a major defeat for the US and Trump, I was verbally assaulted and derided.

Now those hostiles are weeping.

“Now those hostiles are weeping.”

Worse than that, some are saying this is a great success and great foreign policy.

Agreed. It is crazy that this so-called “understanding” subsidizes the Iranian economy (which according many here was just about to implode) and the IRGC—giving the IRGC more time to delay, delay, delay.

They are sycophants, blinded by unconditional devotion.

There shouldn't be any "curtains."

Never in history has a nation been on the verge of crushing its enemy, only to go full Rosanna-Rosannadanna:

Never mind.

And toss its ally under the bus as well. This is a national disgrace.

Reality is though that Iran has a say in this deal...so if they believe this is the deal they are making...that is all that is needed to know.

It’s a sh!t sandwich. Should have finished the job and took out the IRGC leadership.

I wish the media would start explaining the truth here.

And the truth is....

THERE IS NO MOU.

At least no official memorandum from the White House. All anyone sees here is the 14 point plan.... FROM IRAN!

Trump has agreed to some of these points, and some will never be agreed to, but the fact that Trump who said he has a complete peace deal - hasn’t released it.

As I stated previously I’m going to withhold judgement for 60 days and see how this shakes out. Im not optimistic but never underestimate Trump.

Everybody hates the war, nobody wants gas prices to go up, Trump has to wind up the operation. Nobody likes the terms of the deal, but they want the fighting to stop so they can do their summer driving. Trump doesn’t have many options but he has to stop the conflict so that Republicans don’t lose in the midterms. This is the only way out right now.

Some people are never going to shut up.

It’s going to be glorious to see the ‘smart/informed’ people eat crow for their “reporting”, rampant speculation and/or never ending putdowns regarding the yet unreleased MOU.

In the meantime, I laugh, repeatedly and derisively, at all of you.

Maybe Trump can bomb their victory parade and turn this into a win for us?

When you lose, it’s important to take it like a man.

That’s what Trump is doing.
