You can't half mesure international relations and you can't act like a highschool theater girl. If you want to succeed you need to be cold, calculating and ruthless. Vance and Trump (but mainly vance) don't get this.
Also it doesn't help that most of the people who watch Tucker are fucking Pakistanis .
Disagree.
look at how iran is behaving: like a bunch of highschool girls on the rag. Negotiations are starting, they are stopping, ok we're back but you need to apologize and make Trvth Nvke aout Yes Peace, etc.
The reason why Trump is so infuriating on this is because he's negotiating using the retarded Sand Nigger Rules of Debate. Bombastic threats we know he won't deliver (hypetrain for Bridge and Powerplant day, "you won't have a country to go back to"), "you have no navy", etc etc. Shit we are used to hearing from dumb sand niggers.
After Desert Storm, some Iraqi general was interviewed about the final round of negotiations with the Coalition team that they basically told to go fuck themselves, and the question was put - paraphrasing - "Half of the world's military strength was built up on your border over nearly a year. You had to know what was coming. Why didn't you negotiate?"
and his answer was "They were too calm, so we didn't think they'd actually do it. That's not how arabs negotiate if they are serious If the lead negotiator had come into the room slamming his fist on the table and throwing papers yelling about he was going burn down the entire country if we didn't do what they wanted, we wouldn't have had a war".
This is (or was at least) used as a common talking point in psychology/sociology text books to discus how different cultures have different social rules, and the consequences of not understanding said rules.
My biggest grievance with how the Trump administration has handled this whole thing is their blatant ignorance of the thousand plus years of history showcasing that muslims cannot be trusted or negotiated with. I really wish we had leaders with the balls to take this to it's necessary conclusion of total muslim death.
I'm with you on this, but I'll add in that with very few cases (like the US fucking up the Iranian coastal installations after they attacked the Project Freedurrr tanker with drones) the US has not responded to Iran being faithless sand niggers in any meaningful/kinetic way, just more retarded Trvth chimping.
Now I'm sure there is a lot of shit we normies (not even privileged insider normies like
@Mr. Racewar1488 ) don't have have access to, but the infuriating part is Iran dicks around for the 30 days of the ceasefire, then gets TWO WEEK extension of the Ceasefire, then another two weeks, then another...
And there is no virtually consequence for this. No airstikes, no strategic martyrs, etc.
Basically what happened to Iran right before they agreed to the (worthless) MOU is what should have been happening (and should continue happen) to them every Friday at
4:30 PM 5:30 PM EST (you can't have those extended trading hours guys able to fuck up the market on monday) until they earnestly come to the table.
One thing that strikes me as weird is why the US didn't take out Abbas Araghchi. Hes Irans best negotiating lawyer on the nuclear issue having worked on JCPOA. I feel like killing him would have a bigger impact on the talks since a less experienced person would have to pick up where he left off. I guess the admin wanted to dance with the devil they know. Still, strange. Even Israel tried to take out the Hamas negotiators on Qatari soil.
tl;dr, he is not a military target and given he was involved in the JCPOA, that means he has proven he's willing to come to an agreement, so is someone you in theory want sticking around since he's willing and able to have successful talks.
Despite the inflation in the food basket, increasing the amount of ration cards is necessary, but the lack of resources does not allow a full increase proportional to inflation.
