Trump's narcissism was such a disaster for US foreign interests especially in relation to Iran. Tore up an imperfect but useful deal with Iran just because it had Obama's signature on it, for nothing. Or worse than nothing.
Nary a peep from his defenders about this lately.

BREAKING: The US has released the full 14-point memorandum with Iran. It outlines sweeping commitments that would fundamentally reshape U.S. policy toward Iran, including sanctions relief, the release of frozen assets, a $300 billion reconstruction commitment, changes to U.S. military deployments, and a framework for broader negotiations.

The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have jointly agreed in good faith on [ __ date] on the following:

1 — The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran and their allies in the current war are signing this MOU to declare the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon, and undertake from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against each other, and to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other, and ensuring the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The final deal will confirm the permanent termination of the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon and other provisions of this paragraph.

2 — The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran undertake to respect each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and to refrain from interfering in each other’s internal affairs.

4 — Immediately upon the signing of this MOU, the United States of America will begin the removal of its naval blockade and any disturbances or impediments against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and will fully end the naval blockade within 30 days. During this period, the traffic of vessels will be in proportion to the numbers of pre-war traffic being restored by the Islamic Republic of Iran. The United States of America further undertakes to remove its forces from the proximity of the Islamic Republic of Iran within 30 days after the final deal.

5 — Upon the signing of this MOU, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge, for 60 days only, from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles, and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialog with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

6 — The United States of America undertakes with regional partners to develop a definitive, mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 billion for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

All required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.

7 — The United States of America undertakes to terminate all types of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the United Nations Security Council resolutions, IAEA Board of Governors resolutions, and all unilateral US sanctions, primary and secondary, in an agreed upon schedule as part of the final deal. The Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America acknowledge the critical importance of the sanctions termination issue above mentioned, and expressed their intentions to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

8 — The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpiled enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in paragraph seven, with the minimum methodology to be down blended on site under the supervision of the IAEA. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear needs, based on a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal. The final deal will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran acknowledge the critical importance of the nuclear issues above mentioned. They express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

I’ve been mourning social media these past few months. Everything feels so unfamiliar now. And this has such an important space for me over the past decade, but it just doesn’t work anymore. I keep fighting it but I’ll ultimately have to leave.

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

Xhaka would be cheap. Astronomical upgrade on Ugarte, would squeeze 2-3 years from him - enough time for the landscape of a market to change & someone younger to present themselves

Wharton is there; will peak nicely in 2-3 years. European final MOTM to C.V. recently too to check out with some of the psychological angles. Will need some coaching to be a proper sitter. Not so dissimilar to what Carrick was when raw for West Ham

Angelo Stiller looks pretty interesting if dipping abroad for this breed. Needs runners around him, but that’s all Utd seem to have/to be going for, so that wouldn’t be an issue. Always run the risk of turning out to be another Weigl though; too much of a specialist that thrives in a system - but I just want the profile for certain matches/game-states, so again, being one of 2-3 midfield bolsters wouldn’t worry me

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

United need to try for Wharton.
Rarer profile than all the other midfielders they’re linked to.
Only one of his type available.
Matheus Fernandes is a less dominant Anderson, Tchou is a more refined Baleba.
You need that sniper in MF to connect the dots

Hilary Mantel, why do you hate quotation marks?

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

What’s weird with Bruno is because he is notoriously so penetrative and aggressive with his final ball (less so now; he’s improved it), that his sheer football brain gets underrated

His IQ is ironically better than his execution (which is also better than all other 10s)

His appreciation for space. The passes he sees. The timing of the pass

People just see a cannon ball creator which is aesthetics getting in the way. Make no mistake, he’s one of the best 10s to ever do it in England

Wasted in a banter era

Henry VIII insisting long-standing rules shouldn’t apply to him, yet wants to be seen as a defender of the faith. Pope Clement, constrained by doctrine, having to tell a monarch to kick rocks.

Congratulations son

Congratulations to @magyarpeterMP and the TISZA party on their resounding victory. It is important when constructive approach prevails.

Ukraine has always sought good-neighbourly relations with everyone in Europe and we are ready to advance our cooperation with Hungary.

Europe and every European nation must get stronger, and millions of Europeans seek cooperation and stability.

We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe.
