A better account of the whole-of-matters in the Iran war/negotiation situation, of course, isn’t any more available to us than it is to the direct participants. No one knows everything necessary to know of that whole, so whatever account we see will be merely partial (where not manifestly partisan) in effect. Try though we may to the best we can, we cannot eliminate all the uncertainties.
On the other hand, it does seem we can develop a general picture with a bit of reliability, does it not? Seems to me we should work on that.
If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting.

Is it possible Trump doesn’t know this ,or is he simply not willing to do what must be done.?
Our time frames do aeem woefully inadequate of course manns obfuscation hasnt helped matters

I guess Trump’s policy here is economic blockade. The siege of cities in wars have often involved the enemy building walls around a city to starve it out.
It does seem that everything is lke havels paradigm where they make you affirm ridiculous pronouncements and policies
Im sure gorka has apprised the president on what a hudna is as walid ohares did before
Saw a report a day or so ago with what remains of the, more or less, civilian government saying they have no more say; the IRGC is in complete control.
Presuming this is the case, with whom do we negotiate? How much more killing does it take to convince the IRGC? Bering at least superficially military in structure, they no doubt have lines of succession well known and probably generally accepted.
Yeah about that

I assume general vahidi is in charge probably nowhere near the Capitol
He keeps a very low profile with gholibaf popping out behind a bluff

I deal with the situation with the observation that negotiations aren’t our problem, they are Iran’s problem. Iran is in a drought, they are not self sufficient in food, their currency relies on oil exports, and June is when oil storage runs out and the wells start to suffer damage. As to oil prices world wide, adjustments are, and will, be made. We can sit on the porch and watch as events unfold.
I pretty much agree with Charles Harris at 4:04.
I’m impatient by nature though, so of course I want faster

Key concept:
…The natural question is how a protest of that size can be turned off with one message. The answer is that it was never a protest in the way most people understand the word. It was an operation — assembled, maintained, and disbanded through an organizational structure that looks, once you map it, like a military deployment with a nonprofit org chart….

So Iran attacks the Kuwait International Airport, yet Trump says that Iran will give up nukes and talks going well. I’m so tired of this.
