Diplomacy is ‘best path’ to thwart Iran nukes, Biden aide tells Israelis
2021-10-06
[IsraelTimes] In meeting with Israeli counterpart in DC, US national security adviser reiterates that Washington is prepared to consider other options if talks to revive JCPOA fail.
For a given value of thwart that actually means facilitate.

Diplomacy Hell !!

The Iranian Leadership has maintained power by selling the USA/Israel as the GREAT EVILS and they have done this for 40+ years. So short of a Duck Photo discrediting and removing the Ayatollah regime, I doubt it will happen.

Many of you might remember a few year back when the Iranians citizenry was having a massive uprisings against Ayatollah and his oppressive leadership.

But the DC swamp / State Dept DID NOTHING because they were working with the Ayatollah "diplomatically" They still are trying to make THE BOMB correct? Despite past so called Plane Loads of $$$$$$$$$ diplomacy

Sometimes I wonder if the DC SWAMP / State Dept. are using Iran as its 1984 Emmanuel Goldstein?


BTW: The term Duck Photo is an old Southern Political term. Meaning to having caught your political opponent in the most 100% vial immoral act and have solid undeniable proof of it. I'll leave the rest to y'alls vivid imagination.

#1  I agree that diplomacy is the best path. Diplomacy and cruise missiles. And the occasional airstrike for when it absolutely has to be blown up right now.

The carrot and the stick, man Without the stick, you can carrot all you want, but you're just going to get rolled.
