      No, its not victory, its just them getting whatever they want and us giving it to them in order to make the killing stop.

        Trump doesn’t give a shit about the killing, what he want is for the oil prices to go down again.
        But he can only achieve that by accepting that he lost, and that’s the part he doesn’t like.
        For Trump it’s always about winning, he can’t stand to look like a loser. If he can make it look like a win, and get the oil prices down, then he will accept a deal. But it’s very hard to see what such a deal could be?

      If the leaked details are remotely accurate (they’re consistent with previous leaked drafts, so they do sound credible) this is a total capitulation on the part of the United States.

      I wouldn’t consider it a win if they get paid merely the damages caused - they did lose lives after all. But also, if true, Magastan didn’t win anything.
