#20 The Page-and-a-Half Peace: Reading Trump's Iran Deal Through Machiavelli

Meanwhile, the same agreement traps Netanyahu in a political nightmare. We decode this through Machiavelli's The Prince: what does it mean when a superpower signs a deliberately vague treaty, and what happens to allies caught in its wake?
