I guess the likes of Putin and XI are content with their progress --- which is why they are mature leaders while this writer is anything but.

But the divisions within Western Countries are so ripe for exploitation as Putin and Bibi know. As XI knows. As all 3 have capitalized on such at one time or another.

America now wants "out" of this Israeli-inflicted conflict. The economic price is starting to come home to roost and Americans might have to pay more for a god damn baseball glove and we can't have that.

Why China and Putin don't do more to fund Iran thru this----really give them breathing room, is beyond me. My guess is Putin needs to cut losses in Ukraine OR double down. XI is patient --he's owned America's Corporations, Liberals, and NeoCons for the whole century plus. He's stolen American tech knowhow, business practices, and used it all to build his country while weakening the American middle class and now. perhaps XI is thinking Taiwan -whether it's now or later - whether it's by force, OR by Taiwan's 401K liberals peacefully selling out (they usually do -- all over the world)

BUT--- who knows maybe I should writ it on CNN Facebook or somewhere Iran's PR people pay attention.

IRAN should state "We want to end the conflict.....BUT we will ONLY deal with JD Vance, Or George W Bush".

LMAO now Trump would have to cede spotlight, let someone else be "The Big Hero" and get the credit---meaning Trump would never go for it. and the gas and the burgers and the baseball globes would cost even MORE and solidifying a Democrat Win ---in the SENATE. Also imagine Trump ----publicly not wanting to trust JD Vance with making a deal----his own VP. The divisions it causes between MAGA-NEOCONS-and Paleo-ish Conservatives.

Truly, Democrats could cut 2026 campaign spending by 30% and still win.

While the GOP would be in tribal disarray for awhile to come.

I wouldn't call Putin, with his delusions of empire "mature". Xi is playing the world like a fiddle: projecting an image of stability, in a world of power-mad psychotics, and using soft power the way the Soviets did, 60 years ago, to win "hearts and minds", against the roar of the war mongers.

The US regime doesn't give a whit what "we the people" want. If people didn't understand that from his words to the effect "I don't care what the financial impact of my policies is on Proles", he said it out loud today: their votes mean nothing.

Trump sends crushing message to Republicans: ‘I don’t care about the midterms’

“They thought they were going to out-wait me ... ‘He's got the midterms,’” Trump mimicked Iranian leaders, before declaring: “I don't care about the midterms.”

*blink* You're kidding, right? The Bush 43 regime gave me flashbacks to Spiro Agnew jokes of 60 years ago "a fire destroyed his entire library. Both books lost. And he hadn't finished coloring one of them".

Trump ----publicly not wanting to trust JD Vance with making a deal----his own VP.

Would *you* take Agnew seriously? Dan Quayle? Iran could really give the knife a twist, and insist they negotiate with John Kerry. That would guarantee the GOP would refuse the deal, no matter what.

Gosh Steve, you have it all backwards. Bessent has the correct spin on things - the great leader was, of course, being a great statesman with an unshakable compass of core beliefs:


Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s comments earlier this week — that he did not care about the midterm elections as he tries to make a deal with Iran — made him a “statesman.”

“So, you’re calling President Trump a statesman? You’re saying that he is taking a statesmanlike position, that he has a core belief, and he believes that the most important thing is for Iran never to have a nuclear weapon,” Bessent said at a White House press briefing.

Steve---

My aim wasn't to elevate W.....

It was to sow drama and dysfunction.

Imagine Trump! Whether it's Dubya, Kerry, Gandhi. Raeagan or Christ......Trump would feel so marginalized and resent the other guy getting attention. My intent was chaos - not partisanship.
