A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…
screenshot of a post by Oz Katerji @OzKaterji I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong. [quote post] Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace …
screenshot of a post by Michael McFaul @McFaul This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible. [quote post] Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi The full text of the …
screenshot of a post by Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska? Jun 18, 2026 • 2:23 AM UTC

The financialization of the American electoral process is well documented.
Now two key progressive legislators are proposing a new law to do something about it. 
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Democratic Rep. Summer Lee (PA-12) introduced the
"Abolish Super PACs Act" on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
It’s a measure they say will eliminate one the primary ways billionaires funnel cash into elections: super PACs.
The bill would limit donations to super PACs t…

Sanders, Lee move to rein in super PACs amid growing billionaire grip on US elections
The bill targets one of the central vehicles for unlimited outside spending, as progressives warn that billionaire money—and broader threats of voter intimidation—are putting democratic elections under strain.

Remember the spectacular Russian energy sanctions fiasco?
Europe convinced itself that cutting off Russian gas would bring Moscow to its knees.
Instead, Russia pivoted east, selling to India and China, while European factories bled out under the weight of energy costs they could no longer absorb.

Washington is now running the identical play with semiconductors,
apparently hoping for a different result.

In perhaps the largest single assemblage of America’s tech leaders since they prominently graced the stage at Trump’s inauguration,
Silicon Valley’s powerful decamped to the Saudi capital of Riyadh in May 2025 to join Trump and a coterie of top advisers to solicit investment from the oil-rich kingdom.
Trump didn’t mince words at an afternoon meeting with the Saudi crown prince.
“As you know, we have the biggest business leaders in the world here,”
he said.
“They…

Why these tech titans joined Trump in Saudi Arabia
A cavalcade of tech leaders was on hand in the Saudi capital for an investment summit presided over by President Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
