To paraphrase Camus, what is absurd is the confrontation between an unreasonable world and the wild longing for clarity that echoes in the human heart.
@gbrew24 Why doesnโt someone drug this man everyday to stop him from tweeting or whatever you call posting on truth social? Him being awake is more of a problem
@websterkaroon I get your frustration but do you think foregoing control over the strait and relying on American sanctions and promises of asset releases is actually a reliable plan? There is zero trust from the Iranian side that the US will live upto anything and my guess is they prob want to
Is the IRAN MOU finished?

@BrettErickson28 Do Americans really care when politicians die though? I feel like itโs a media thing the normal person is probably like people die all the time, another one done
I vividly remember an international conference in Qatar some 25 years ago, as the late Emir, Sheikh Hamad, greeted the foreign guests, he looked at me with a warm smile and said, โWe welcome you with open arms, even though you criticize Qatar.โ That moment said a lot about the man and has stayed with me ..
@Anarchist_1418@BrettErickson28@citrinowicz Yeah and the establishment dems also seem to like him, heck he even got the nod from progressives and I was just like this guy is the complete opposite of what you need when youโre talking about the wisdom of restraint.
@Anarchist_1418@BrettErickson28@citrinowicz That JD was condemning Israel for flattening apartments in Beirut and then Rubio pushed for the lebanese to sign a surrender document in which they forewent their rights to even take Israel to the ICJ. Iโm wondering if JD is just someone Trump wants to take the fall for it
@Anarchist_1418@BrettErickson28@citrinowicz I think the IRGC though theyโre meant to be subordinate to the SL, now that Khamenei is gone Iโm wondering how much clout Mojtaba holds if any, because itโs a system that does not rely on just authoritative structures, itโs more like a circle of actors. I also think itโs strange
@Anarchist_1418@BrettErickson28@citrinowicz Yeah I think part of the challenge is this man had the attention span of a gnat whatโs good today will be torn up tomorrow, thereโs no trust as a result of it. Also, not sure what to make of the reports the IRGC isnโt responding to the desires of the civilian diplomats
