I'm not a military strategist, but I think it's a bad idea to make your enemy's proaganda seem more credible than your own.

Evidently there's a writers strike on the Iran War limited series.

Witkoff to CNBC: The Russians told us they aren't sharing intel with Iran.

"We can take them at their word."

Yes, but I think you're conflating "A Man in Full" with "Bonfire of the Vanities."

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social Please ask Witkoff if there were any nuclear physicists or engineers involved in the Iran negotiations, and if not, why not.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

The price of crude oil is only 50% higher than it was at the end of 2025.

How did I know the Trump admins wouldn’t get a nuclear deal with Iran no matter how much bluster and bullying they tried?

Multiple reasons. But one was they didn’t include any nuclear physicists or engineers in the talks, in sharp contrast to the intricately detailed Iran nuclear deal that worked.

It seems to me the easiest way to calm fears about crude oil would be for the US Navy to actually execute a safe escort of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.

That they haven't done this yet is a tell, IMO.

If you’re a journalist, and you refer to Pete Hegseth unironically as the “Secretary of War,” you might as well refer to Donald Trump’s Trump as “His Majesty.”
