the iranan mullahs apparently wanted to negotiate with somebody that looked like a chimp, like they do, so they requested dogface vance to bark his way through the meetings. i'm sure that won't be a waste of time.

listen.

trump tried his negotiation tactic and it utterly failed. a lot of stupid people are going to say a lot of stupid things, but the reality is that the iranians are not rational actors. the venezuelans, who are actually a functioning democracy despite claims to the contrary, albeit one that needed leadership renewal, turned out to be rational actors. the cubans might turn out to be rational. the lebanese state is rational, it's just broken. the iranians are deeply irrational and cannot be negotiated with.

trump should have known that and he didn't because he's naive about the effects of religion on rational discourse. trump is not a christian; he doesn't believe in god. he is a vulgar marxist. he sees religion as a tool of control. he is correct; religion is a tool of control, but he seeks to manipulate it rather than dismantle it. he was not able to comprehend the blowback in iran. he saw them as allies that needed a kick in the ass, rather than as psychopaths that needed to be hung in public.

if trump won't learn his mistake, which was treating the iranians as rational negotiators, then the mechanisms to remove him from decision making need to be invoked.

the iranian state has demonstrated repeatedly that it must be destroyed with overwhelming force and extreme violence. get on it.
