@KO_Sequence Nothing "fair" about it. That guy cant retaliate against his skinny ass cause that gun is still in play...if the guy in the vest beats up the skinny dude, he still gonna be shot by the friend holding the heat.
@PempheroMphande Now break those percentages down by tribe (cause if you believe all the "blacks" will live harmoniously together you are completely living in a fantasy world). And what's the end result? Little tribal bantustans that will make the present xenophia looking like paradise.
@ClownWorld In scenarios like this (it seems to be very common in the US nowadays, with mini-cows and whatnot). Do they still eat the cows? Or are they strictly pets? Genuinely curious...
Hours after the Islamabad talks collapsed, IRGC commander-in-chief Ahmad Vahidi said publicly: “The supreme leader isn’t even buried yet, and yet Ghalibaf is already shaking hands with those who killed him.”
Ghalibaf is the man who led Iran’s delegation. He sat across from Vance for 21 hours. He carried the 10-point framework. He posted on X that Iran has “goodwill but no trust.” And the commander of the military force that controls the Strait of Hormuz, operates the toll system, enforces the mine corridors, and holds the 900 pounds of enriched uranium publicly accused him of betrayal for shaking the hand of the American vice president.
This was not a private disagreement. This was a public statement designed to be heard by both Tehran and Washington.
Before the talks began, Vahidi had already moved to limit Ghalibaf’s authority. Iran International and Critical Threats reported on April 10 that Vahidi pushed to insert Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a Vahidi ally, into the delegation. Vahidi explicitly banned any discussion of Iran’s missile program. The IRGC Aerospace Force commander issued a parallel warning that missile capabilities were non-negotiable. The delegation that arrived in Islamabad was not a unified team. It was a negotiating party operating under a military veto from an institution that did not send its own commander to the table but reserved the right to overrule anyone who sat there.
This is the structural explanation for why the talks failed that nobody in Washington or the Western press has assembled.
Vance said he could not get “an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon.” But Ghalibaf does not have the authority to make that commitment. The IRGC controls enrichment infrastructure. The IRGC controls Hormuz. The IRGC operates under the Mosaic Doctrine, a decentralized command architecture across 31 provincial commands activated after the February 28 strikes killed Khamenei and destroyed central coordination. Each provincial command operates with semi-autonomous authority. The doctrine was designed to ensure regime survival after decapitation. It succeeded. But it also means that no single civilian leader, no parliament speaker, no foreign minister can deliver a binding commitment on behalf of the military apparatus that actually holds the assets Vance was demanding be surrendered.
Vance was negotiating with the wrong person. Not because Ghalibaf was unserious. Because the institution that holds what America wants is not the institution that was in the room.
On April 4, President Pezeshkian accused the IRGC of independent escalation pushing Iran toward “a huge catastrophe.” The IRGC responded by embedding its own representatives as “consultants” who could veto, while its Navy issued Hormuz warnings that any military vessel would face “decisive and forceful response.” The IRGC is simultaneously inside the delegation and outside it, present as observers and absent as signatories.
The Mosaic Doctrine saved the regime. It may also have made the regime incapable of making peace. Decentralized command structures are designed to survive attacks. They are not designed to produce coherent diplomatic commitments. The same architecture that prevented collapse after Khamenei’s death now prevents any single Iranian official from delivering what the United States demands. The 31 provincial commands can fight independently. They cannot negotiate collectively. And no ceasefire, no peace deal, no “affirmative commitment” can be binding when the institution that would have to honor it publicly accuses the man who would sign it of shaking hands with murderers.

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, making the stunning admission that Trump has destroyed America's relationships with all of its allies. There is not a leader in the world who trusts Trump. NOT FUCKING ONE. 😳👇
@Free_Soul_Mia@Megatron_ron Which is why France and the UK's independent Nuclear deterrent suddenly looks like a Genius strategy. So let the US close their bases. Europe won't collapse.
@Free_Soul_Mia@Megatron_ron Russia cannot even defeat a much smaller and (relatively)poorer country like Ukraine. Can we stop with the narrative that Russia represents a viable threat to Europe. They'd be defeated. Period. Russia is NOT the Soviet Union. Yes, their nukes make them dangerous...
@shanaka86 The biggest and last mistake Iran can make is to attack Europe directly. Unlike Gulf nations who have a religious abhorrence to fighting with Israel...Europe does not. If an Iranian missile lands in Europe, Nato is in Iran. Iran loses. Period.
@New_tres Fake shit. 1. US carriers dont sail without a screening body of ships...that's why its called a carrier group. 2. The only helicopter that would have to be close enough to film this would be a US helicopter...and they'd never release the footage.
@Rimac_Kabza@sherwiebp My guy. A mad man and his cabal of neo nazis are in charge of th US right now and the unthinkable is now a possibility...Fuck BRICS for the moment and let's concentrate on not getting "Maduroed"...
@MAGAVoice I don't understand. Why should Democrats be investigated when it was the Republicans in power on Jan 6th, at least until the election was certified? If so, then didn't the FBI answer to Donald Trump? Make it make sense...
@roehm_daniel1@townhallcom A 100 years from now when kids study the fall of the American Empire(like we did for the Roman, British etc)they should show tweets like yours so that kids can understand the sheer stupidity of a nation that had everything and destroyed it like they were cheering on teams on TV.
@MAGAVoice So what happens to the juries?...It is a profound tragedy watching in real time how the world's greatest democracy flails into an authoritarian/neo-nazi regime and you seem to be cheering on this process...like you watching a reality show...scary.
