- the americans are holding to the position that it is a starting point for negotiations
- the iranians have no intention of adhering to the agreement or of negotiating
it is also clear that trump does not want to bomb iran's civilian infrastructure and never had any intent to. iran was supposed to sign a deal, and they're not going to.
it's not clear what the americans are going to do. they could walk off, or they could escalate. if they walk off, they're going to have to come back, and soon.
i want to encourage and call on the pentagon to develop a clear regime change option for trump to implement. there is no diplomatic solution. the only solution is regime change. it seems somewhat ridiculous to me that the pentagon has not done that, and i suspect they must have, but for whatever reason it's being seen as inadequate. it might be the use of ground troops. it might be shifts in the use of technology since the plans were written. i don't know.
this doesn't strike me as that complicated - you blow up the palaces and dismantle the ruling class. all of it. not this guy and that guy, but all of them. all of the clerics, all of the judges, all of the mullahs, all of the governors, all of the police stations, all of them, along with the infrastructure they use to rule with. if that plan is not written, it should be, and the pentagon should be preparing it to give to the president to enforce. that is the only eventual possible outcome, and it's a question of when and not if.
the longer the americans drag out the inevitable, the more complicated and costly the eventual invasion becomes.
somebody needs to wake donald trump up from his delusion of capitalist negotiation, as a first priority. this is going nowhere until trump drops his bullshit and delusional insistence on signing an agreement with these psychopaths.
