The only scenario where your plan (appeasement) makes sense is if Iran invents quantum radar or some technology that eliminates our military superiority. Then the shoe could be on the other foot and they’ll blast us back to the Stone Age (or enslave our women and tax us). As if they weren’t going to do that before? Who you shittin?
