Reportedly, the US believes Iran when it says, with a straight face, that it won’t now pursue a nuclear weapons programme (the lie it’s told for four decades).
US Vice-President JD Vance says, with a straight face, that every war including WW2 ended with a negotiated settlement.
Are all these Trump administration staffers total imbeciles? No. They’re treating everyone else as an imbecile. They’re redefining victory and surrender to cover the fact that they’re proposing to surrender to Iran and pluck defeat from the jaws of victory.
If the idea is that, once the oil price comes down and the mid- terms are behind it, the US will return to war with a bunch of reinvigorated, resupplied and pumped-up apocalypticists, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. This is how the free world dies.
