The goal is not to be the richest person in the room.
It is to be the person in the room who never has to worry about the bill.
Those are very different targets.
Only one of them matters.
I cannot emphasize this enough.
A new dynamic will be at play when the US and Iran meet in Islamabad to negotiate a final deal based on Iran's 10-point plan:
Trump's failed war has eliminated the potency of American military threats in US-Iran diplomacy.
The US can still issue threats, but everyone will know that they no longer carry much weight.
Essentially, war with Iran was tried and failed.
As a result, negotiations will have to be based on genuine compromises from both sides, rather than coercion from either side.
By now Iran knows that the only way to protect itself from Israel is to impose costs for Israeli aggression on the entire western world. Iran will have us all heating our homes with trash fires and growing carrots in our backyards if the west can't find a way to rein in Israel.
Israel sent spies to bomb Jewish centers in Baghdad in the early 1950s to compel Iraqi Jews to emigrate
Its army bombed the main synagogue in Beirut after it invaded Lebanon in 1982
Now it’s attacking the last major Jewish community in the region outside Zionism’s control
The BBC's @GhonchehAzad drew outrage for publishing a quote demanding Iran be nuked, then quietly removed it
She’s since been revealed as a dedicated regime change activist whose career was launched by a CIA-founded propaganda network

This BBC paragraph is factually untrue.
It wrongly frames Hezbollah firing at Israel as the starting point, claiming it broke a ceasefire that “ended the war in 2024.”
But there was never a ceasefire because Israel violated it more than 15,000 times.
This is propaganda.
Indicted war criminal Yoav Gallant issues a new call for genocide in Lebanon:
"Eliminate everything that exists in Dahiya, Baalbek, Tyre, Sidon, Nabatieh, everywhere."
Textbook definition of genocide.
The US says a KC-135 crashed in Iraq, but not as a result of fire.
It says it bombed an Iranian boat that came too close to the USS Abraham Lincoln.
And a fire broke out inside the USS Gerald Ford laundry room.
Soldiers have also been dying from “medical episodes.”
Don’t worry, accidents happen in war. Victory is just over the horizon.
Netanyahu: “We live in this savage space called the Middle East.”
Then fucking leave. Go back to non-savage Poland where the sun won’t fry your skin to cancer levels.
Israeli soldiers brutally and violently gang raped a Palestinian detainee ON CAMERA.
Sick society. Absolutely depraved, deranged and disgusting.
The AP sanitizing this with “accused of sexual abuse” when it was GANG RAPE ON CAMERA just shows you how much our media provides cover for Israel’s long list of human rights abuses.
They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

Israel was given the blank cheque to do everything and anything it wanted to the Palestinians and to the Lebanese while she was the VP. We would never be here were the gates of bloodshed not opened and kept open by the Biden administration. She campaigned on a platform that included calling Iran the greatest threat to the U.S.
Pete Hegseth on Monday: "If you kill Americans.. anywhere on earth we will hunt you down without apology & without hesitation and we will kill you"
Guardian yesterday: "Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank"
CNN has confirmed that the US military was responsible for the attack on a girls' elementary school in southern Iran that killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers.
The New York Times reported the same.
The US regime is massacring children for empire.
