Thursday

Wherein a former negotiator - specifically focused on Iran and nuclear negotiations - was quite frank in stating that the truly astonishing take away here ... Was that anyone with any experience at all - would imagine that the cards fell in ANY other direction other than the way they so self-evidently DID

In short ... How is it not possible to understand anything about Iran - the strait - the energy dynamic for the world ... Virtually the whole ball of wax. And like I said, this guy was at a total loss - as to how anyone, anywhere - came away with a different outcome on how this played out. Astonishing!
