Remember the words of little Ronnie Reagan….”trust but verify”? With that in mind……we have heard all the chatter about the deal that the US is working on with Iran over their nukes…..some see it as a good sign for diplomacy while others think it sucks…..since I have studied International Relations especially the Middle East I see it as a good sign….well maybe not a sign but a good start to the end of a major point of contention between Iran and the western powers……
Like I have told my readers I spend hours on line reading Arabic press because there are things happening there that could impact the entire world and most people do not give a sh*t until it is too late…..since my Farsi sucks and I have a magical translate button I have found some interesting info I would like to pass along…..
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif termed the situation related to the nuclear deal an “historical crossroads,” saying his country is ready and determined to make a permanent nuclear deal.
Negotiations on a nuclear pact are expected later this month, and will take place throughout the six month interim agreement, which began just over a week ago.
US officials have repeatedly downplayed the chances of a deal, and threatened war if Iran doesn’t make the deal that they don’t expect. Zarif was more upbeat about the chances, saying his country has the diplomatic good-will to make a deal now.
An interesting statement from the Iranian FM (Foreign Minister)…..if true and real then Iran is showing some adult thinking…..as opposed of the days of that short sh*t from before…..
I am optimistic…something I have not been in many years of keeping tabs on these types of situations……
Any thoughts you would like to share?
Yes, its good that Dick Cheney and the neo-conservatives are no longer in power to hamstring this deal.
But McCain/Graham are still around to do their bidding….anything can happen at this point…..look for Israel to have ‘new’ info that will make the deal a little harder….
Yes, the “new information”…. A nuclear weapon by 3pm, TODAY! I generally like Israeli’s (loathe their government), but i’m glad the media is pretty much ignoring all the crap coming out of Ben’s mouth.
But the admin is another story….
Agreed. I can’t stand the government there. Their actions are not only illogical, but cruel and malicious.
Me thinks they are talking the Torah a bit too literal…..especially the taking the land of Cannan
When Ben was in the US a few months ago he said, quite deliberately, something about the Patriarchs stretching back 4 or 5 thousand years. Complete and utter crap, yet directed straight to the US evangelicals who, unlike the majority of Jewish Rabbis, still actually believe that nonsense.
I recall a biblical history course when they said that the Israelites would kill every man woman and child of the cities like Jericho, Ei (?), etc….something like it was God will….utter rubbish like everything else they try to say……
“All we are saying, is give peace a chance”.
“Peace” is an ugly word in Republican-land. The Conservative Bible Project has changed every reference to the word, “peace,” to read, “tranquility.” I kid you not.
HA HA Sounds about right….what a douche!
Plastic Ono Band….good one….
