From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Given that Russia and Iran are allies Trump’s tenure as Putin’s usefu idiot might end. Trump should get a tea tester And stay away from windows

Backing down and losing face isn’t an option for a Narcissist like Trump.

They cheered and stood up and clapped like performing seals for a complete lie. Tariffs are paid for by their own constituents. Unbelievable to us on this side of the pond

They “flood the zone” so that so much is happening that we end up just dealing with the present and forget the past.

Punch the monkey   an alternative ending to his story if he was in this part of the world. 15 mins in he has at least 1 Irish Granny, then the pub, heritage studies, splashing the Atlantic and gettin' foundered. Making soda bread....

There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;
Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart,
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
