> Iran is in a similar situation and we had started down this path

Liberals believe this very much, and I sincerely wish it were true. But it's really not. Iran was simply taking advantage of what they could get, there was zero chance of them changing.

Iran is currently in the center, or at least involved, in so many conflicts I can barely list them all. (Yemen, Israel, Russia, Syria, Iraq, just to start with.)

You really believe they are doing this just because of Trump?
