(6,389 posts)I also heard that Witkoff did not understand some of the granular explanation of what they did or didn't have for nuke capability.
They didn't bring any topic specific experts or seasoned diplomats to the discussion. The Omani foreign minister and British official were the professionals in the room, and they saw a deal was offered by Iran.

Yes, they killed children and very little is said about it.

A huge diversion was necessary and Trump is a master of diversions, even though he tends to be terribly obvious. He could end up destroying life as we know it in his over-the-top attempts to divert public attention from his crimes and corruption.
How can so many let one pitiful little man do so much damage in such a short period of time?

(53,434 posts)we've witnessed and experienced over the years. Belief in democracy and the constitution often trumped power-hungry authoritarian leaders.
Republicans turned their backs on Nixon when he went too far, though I started to sense many of them during the Bush years were headed in this direction. I cast a lot of that blame on Newt Gingrich, but there is plenty of blame to go around.

(53,434 posts)I think he does super shitty things just because he enjoys the chaos and pain he causes. Other people's distress brings him a perverse pleasure.

(4,056 posts)I see this unlinked meme on a lot of FB and Insta sites, but would like to see the article. I do see that on Feb 21 the Guardian reported that:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/21/iran-refusing-to-export-highly-enriched-uranium-but-willing-to-dilute-purity
On Feb 27, The Hill reported:
Iran currently holds a stockpile of between 300 and 400 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium that nuclear experts have warned can be converted to a nuclear weapon.
Al-Busaidi suggested that Iran has agreed to downgrade the enriched uranium.
