@_The_Prophet__ This account has been woefully, dismally wrong on virtually every read of this conflict, and it keeps doubling down with the same US-centric lens. It’s honestly embarrassing at this point. Anyone watching objectively can see the trajectory from a mile away.
@_The_Prophet__ This reads like a strategy memo for a plan that just broke in real time. He issued a 48h ultimatum, Iran didn’t fold, and he backed off. That’s not “coercive sequencing,” it’s escalation followed by hesitation. You’re projecting coherence onto something reactive and messy.
