      Yes, I suppose that’s true. This would have to be dressed as a big win for Trump.

        That’s why I said Europe, China, and Russia should get together and negotiate with Iran. They have the power to implement any deal even if the US rejects it.

      They can do that. But it would also be difficult for the Navy to provide logistical support for its operations if the entire region, plus Europe, decided to shut down the U.S. bases. It would be possible, of course, but it would involve significantly more effort and cost… After all, the ability to supply troops around the globe is precisely the reason for the U.S. bases all over the world, if I understand correctly.

        You make a good point, but all these countries would have to agree. It would be simpler for Europe, China, and Russia to get together and negotiate with Iran. They have the power to implement any agreement even if the US rejects it.
