Of course, the Iran talks failed!

A war they didn’t start and a childish VP does not go well together!

It was never going to happen! Period!

Why would Iran ever agree on anything Trump deems a victory?

Well, back to oil prices skyrocketing?

1. They are designed to fail.

Not in the sense that there is a purpose behind their failure, but in the sense that whatever thought was expended in their construction was not expended with success as a priority.

And Vance is such a child. Serious shit is going on - he smiles and is glib, and even dismissive with his laughs.

6. I also admire the Persians... but let's be honest. The Muslims invaded them 1400 years ago.

Iran is Persian by name or legend only.

I made a sign, for a protest after the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. It said: I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK.

Interestingly - Robert Deniro said the same thing when he was on Nicolle Wallace's podcast, a couple of weeks ago.

8. Trump signaled he'd take any deal to leave

Then 24 hrs later, his whole party discovered the actual deal was so toxic, they could not accept it. So they sent Vance to get another deal. The Iranians knowing Trump wants out, simply wasn't going to cave to any deal but the one they offered.

Trump played his cards already. He will now either have to redeal or walk away from the table. The Iranians clearly think he's walking away from the table.
