The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.
How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.
And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.
Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.
No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?
Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.
“And I never ever trusted the Tuckster,”
Me too!
His bow tie was always stupid.
no way - i don’t buy the ‘rank and file’ argument either.
Everything done to Flynn revealed the other work behind the Russia collusion hoax - it started with him and finding something to call attention under false pretenses.
My concern is this would lead to the elimination of the FBI (one of the targets cited in ‘The Naked Communist’of the comintern). Corrupt leaders have defiled the institution; truthful patriots in charge is the only option left for the FBI - who thinks that is possible today?
Our blockade is keeping the Strait open.
The market is following lies which benefits them
on info, false from maritime manipulators.
Marine Traffic shows this as a falsehood.
Surprised at the lack of awareness.
Does anyone even believe this nonsense anymore?
Open to commerce, so long as it has no dealings with Iran. Iran, meantime, is managing to get some trade with Russia via the Caspian Sea and overland from China via Pakistan. But not the Strait.
As for who’s lying about what, I just know that previously surefire stocks are still in a huge funk, and that hurts me. The dollar is also down low, which metes out pain and pleasure simultaneously.
Probably
No chance. He dangles goodies in front of them. He delays them. They suffer and wither on the vine, always hoping they can play him like they did Obama.
I didn’t read what Flynn wrote, but Trump quit listening to him a good while back. He even re-posted a picture of Flynn with others like Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson as those he is now at odds with, just a couple weeks ago from what I saw.
Possibly but Pakistan is 92+% Sunni, remember Iran is Shia. Each view the other with more hate then they view infidels. Nothing worse then a heretic. I don’t see what Pakistan thinks it can get out of this!
“Trump wants and needs to get out of this mess”
He must have told you that when you two chatted about war ‘n stuff last night. What else did he tell you?
“Trump still believes that all nations and religions operate on a similar moral code”
And you know that he believes this now, or ever did, how, exactly?
The amount of mind reading skills at FR is a marvel.
I remember Japanese. However, I like the idea of break it and leave. We don’t own it, we just need to set them back to the Iron Age for a while.
Flynn retired from the military in 2014, 12 years ago.
The important part of his tweet is this:
“admittedly I do not have all the information”
We can all agree with Flynn on that, since he hasn’t been in the loop for over a decade.
And unless someone is leaking to him he has no non public information.
Indeed, he knew at the time that having deep real-time connections with national intel assets he presented a substantial threat to active anti-Trump WH insiders. He was very high on their hit-list.
“The amount of mind reading skills at FR is a marvel.”
Yes. I’m marvel-lous. Thank you for noticing.
People in Iran don’t have weapons to resist. Iran has huge gun control policies.
Blew all his credibility right then and there. This is the most necessary war we have every fought. Anyone saying otherwise is a special class of stupid and should just keep their mouth closed.
.
No. You’re misinterpreting his comment.
It should have ended with a persistent campaign pursuant to capitulation.
But someone in his circle thought the long game would be a better idea...
...and it has succeeded in fracturing Republicans and MAGA alike, plus turned the midterms on its head.
Sounds awfully convenient...
