We are dealing with a United States that is tired of war. It has not gone well in the two big wars it conducted in the middle east. It spent trillions of dollars, a lot of mud and blood and treasure.

Hopefully, the administration will take diplomacy very seriously. Or that sanctions really change the koran and governments mind and they change course the iranian governments mind and they change course.

They are kind of used to it now. In the first few years, there would be some squirming. There would be occasional things that would create some discomfort.
