In reports from people in the room at the negotiations in Pakistan regarding the war on Iran, the usual picture of total embarrassment emerges, as per usual with the rogue regime, USA.
The Iranian delegation came fully prepared with extensive documentation and fully empowered to negotiate on behalf of Iran.
In contrast, the American delegation, if you can use that word in this context, consisting of JD Vance and the real estate developers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, came with nothing except hubris. No documentation, no powers to negotiate on behalf of the U.S. Government. What government? There were no people with actual diplomatic experience in attendance, no officials of any rank from the State Department. The U.S. pretend-President and the Secretary of State were at a cage fight, apparently unconcerned about what was taking place.
Any time they faced a yes/no answer, Vance would, for eleven times, call Trump, and in one instance, call America's real president, Netanyahu. Such matters fully illustrate that Iran is a normative power, capable and ready to make agreements and treaties, while the U.S. remains a rogue state, incapable of agreement or treaty.
And the Iranian delegation, on their trip back home, were deeply concerned for their own safety, with the criminal zionist entity still in power and capable of some nefarious act. Even with Pakistani air force escort, they landed just inside the Iranian border and travelled 1000 Km by road and train back to Tehran.
The U.S. lost its "war" on Iran by beginning it, by having no notion of reasonable goals or their consequences and no idea of on what terms they would surrender or on what terms Iran would surrender. You don't start wars without having run all the possible "war games." "Only fools rush in" – Elvis.
As well, they try to perform this war with the most expensive military that money can buy, glorified versions of WW-II war machines, facing a real nation that has been preparing for this exact battle for decades. And yet, even while seeing the failures of this type of military gear on various fronts, in both Iran and Ukraine, brainless countries like Canada and Europe continue to buy in to U.S. equipment that functions poorly and is too expensive to lose in actual combat, such as the F-35 project.
And they base their foreign policy on the same failed theme of identifying the next "threat" and arming up for that war.
Dr. Thomas W. Dodman, a professor at Columbia University, says:
"We think of wars beginning and ending. But we should think that war is the default template, and there are beginnings and ends to peace. Wars live on because of their lingering effects. Often the reasons for the next conflict were not fully resolved in the last one."
But can any "reasons" for wars be justified on this small blue globe?
Iran should reject any further "negotiations" with the rogue Outlaw Empire and stick to its 10-point plan:
1 - Non-aggression: A fundamental US commitment to cease attacks on Iran and its allies.
2 - Strait of Hormuz Control: Continued Iranian control and management of the strategic waterway.
3 - Nuclear Enrichment: Acceptance of Iran's right to enrich uranium.
4 - Sanction Removal: Lifting all primary and secondary sanctions.
5 - Unfreezing Assets: Release of frozen Iranian assets.
6 - Withdrawal of US Forces: Removal of US combat forces from the region.
7 - War Reparations: Payment of compensation to Iran for damage.
8 - Ending UN/IAEA Action: Termination of all UN Security Council and IAEA resolutions targeting Iran.
9 - Regional Ceasefire: An immediate halt to all conflicts, including those in Yemen, Lebanon, and Iraq.
10 - Binding Agreement: Ensuring all terms are backed by a UN Security Council resolution.
Memo to Donny: You started this and LOST. Get over it!
