Don't tell our ambassador which Indian tribes' squaws he should lay eyes on.

I apologize, I meant no disrespect. And the portrayed ignorance is of course the ignorance of the fictional ambassador we send to you as a response to Mr. Sound of Music, was hence used in a satirical context and not meant to be an insult to Indians. Using the term "Indians", however, is part of my genuine ignorance and should not be seen in said satirical context. 

Having said that, I really didn't know that the word "Sioux" was somehow tainted.

Now, back to topic please. I think Trump's harsh words about Iran and questioning the nuclear deal are counter-productive. I wonder what's the plan when dealing with a country's nuclear buildup. Shall deals be made like with Iran, or no deals like with North Korea, or just predending there's no problem like with Pakistan, or going preventive war like in Iraq (I know that example is heavily flawed)? I'd say going for the contract option is the best of those ideas. But I can't compare, I don't kow what Trump's idea is. Is there any?
Plus, Iran heads, it appears, in a more moderate direction, which won't accelerate much by aggressive US wording. And the contract-cosponsors in Europe think it's strange that Trump makes an unilateral call about that one. Condescending, isn't it?
