“I’m not looking for war and if there is, it’ll be obliteration like you’ve never seen before,” Trump said. “But I’m not looking to do that. But you can’t have a nuclear weapon. You want to talk? Good. Otherwise you can have a bad economy for the next three years.”
Spoken like a developer contending with a recalcitrant union. Short. Blunt. Straightforward.
And like a developer he wants to build things not destroy them, he wants all parties to prosper and he wants a clear plan that all agree to with a prompt schedule of activity to gauge progress by.
But as he has always said, “If we can’t work out a deal I’m ready to walk away.” In this case, walking away would be very loud and messy for Iran.
