So a win will be returning to Obama’s Iran deal?

And the reason no one brings up Ukraine is because we used more interceptors in three days than were sent to Ukraine in the entire 4+ years of war. It’s a complaint that doesn’t make sense unless one is jd Vance.

The difference is obvious.

Why would you think returning to Obama's Iran deal would be a win? Actually, let me word this better: how could you possibly think that anyone in the White House for the past decade would think returning to Obama's Iran deal is better than this war?

The reason it's so incredible you could think such a thing is the White House has been saying how horrible that deal was in every interview for months, and of course intermittently for a decade.

I don’t think it’s a win, I said that in the context of the comment above. Note the question mark

"So a win will be returning to Obama’s Iran deal?"

Where in that long comment before yours did you see an implication that anyone was thinking a return to Obama's Iran deal was a win? Why did you use the word "so"?

> because if Iran gets to keep their approx 1000lbs all they have to do is make a simple gun-type device and sail it into New York City

You need to stop watching too many movies and/or conspiracy videos. Given how security has gotten tighter it is impossible to "sail it into New York City". The budgets for nearly every 3 letter agency is up. The only reason to make up such absurd points is to get more funding for the agencies or just continuing the war.

US IC assessment is Iran is 5-10y away from delivery tech, and there's no imminent threat.

What do you mean delivery tech? Your delivery tech is a cargo ship. We're not talking about an ICBM that requires sophisticated re-entry materials. We are talking about a crude gun-device like Hiroshima, which is actually pretty easy if you google it.

And yet again, even in these hypotheticals, New Yorkers suffer for decisions they didn't make and don't want. Why don't they sail it into Florida?
