Appeasement isn’t worth price of admission. But neither is unthinking tit-for-tat-ism. The cost of something isn’t what happens in the first 48 hours after you do it.
It’s not an end of “appeasement policy” strategy, it’s Trump’s distract from impeachment strategy. Seems to be working very well – for Trump. Not so much for the rest of the world.
Appeasement is tearing up a nuclear agreement that was working and making the world a more dangerous place. The great dealmaker and negotiator seems to have reverted to the age-old strategy of Presidents in trouble…. start a war.
So lets understand this. The hard line government is Iran was faltering. They had protest of thousands of people that got so bad that the Army Shot protesters to keep order. So we right on schedule made a martyr out of a terrorist, galvanizing the people against us and giving the government a perfect enemy to blame all of their problems on.
Why would Trump do this? Because he needs an enemy as much as the Mullahs need an enemy.
By the Way one of the ONLY companies in the US to deal with Iran during the embargo was TRUMP companies
Agreed. Leave appeasement to Trump’s aides, staff, GOP and the Senate. That is more than enough effort by Americans trying to control the behavior of a bully.
Lisa prefers American bodies in that grave cause the Obama Admin “Appeasement” policy successfully opened multi-lateral negotiations that would have stabilized the region. Christ, Iran was actually helping us fight both Al Qaeda and ISIS over the last decade with Soleimani as their point man.
The UN, representing most of the “civilized” world, says war is not the answer, and it is the U.S. that under Bonespurs has resorted to childish, DANGEROUS, behaviors. And in the interest of peace Bonespurs orders we don’t allow Iran’s man at the table to discuss peace at the UN??
Lisa, KellyAnne of the land of Alternative Facts must be so PROUD of you! Are you trying to get into the Ministry of Propaganda? Will your next ’toon say “We have always been at war with Eastasia”?
Soleimani worked to covertly sneak sophisticated weapons into Iraq to kill American troops in a war in which they technically were not involved. That makes him a terrorist to us, and a hero to Iranians. Reagan worked to covertly sneak sophisticated weapons into Afghanistan for the Mujahedeen to use to kill soviet troops and down their aircraft in a war in which we were technically not involved. That makes him a hero to us, and a terrorist to the Russians.
Lisa still has her legs after the 4 trillion dollar fabricated, unnecessary debacle that Bush and Company lied us into in Iraq. Appeasement? Yeah go sign up your kids to be in the line of fire Lisa. Sheesh, cretins with crayons!
As I recall, Lisa has a few children. Have they signed up for the war she wants? If they’re too old, what about nephews, nieces or grandchildren?
DIPLOMACY, like the Iran Treaty is NOT appeasement. Trying to start a war based on false claims of “imminent threat” should be an additional article of impeachment for Trump.
Heck, even Mike Lee finally woke up about the idiocy of this act. He still didn’t have the cajones to call out Trump by name though, still a weak spineless Republican’t congress worm.
There is no idiocy Trump can commit that his puppet followers, like Lisa Benson, won’t endorse. Amazing to me that so many women will support a pussy grabbing pedophile like Trump.

Lisa, there is a HUGE difference between “appeasement” and not starting unnecessary wars.
Trump and company don’t understand trade wars, their understanding of shooting wars is much worse.

Just wait until there are former human beings in such straits. It will be time to throw out the garbage in the WH.

Written by a woman who clearly fails to understand the word “appeasement”.
If Iran were to beg, “Please quit killing our generals, you win!” that would be appeasement.
We have never done anything like that.

Well, Lisa’s off her Anti-Delusion meds again… SOMEONE at the State Hospital please check her dosages and MAKE SURE she takes them regularly.

So, Lisa, how, exactly, would you describe DJTs North Korean, Turkish, and Russian policies, if not appeasement?

Treating Iran as a sovereign country whose citizens you can’t kill on your prerogative is not appeasement.
