The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That's why it's not kabuki theater. This wasn't planned, and he's not doing it intentionally. He wants a win and can't get one. He doesn't have to admit a loss until the war is over. So he's keeping things unresolved and keeps negotiations going.

Call it confirmation bias, if you want. But Joe Kent was in the room where the deliberations were going on. He says the negotiations are fake. What he has not put together is my take that this is about enriching the oil companies, as much as serving Israel.

Here is Kent's appearance on TYT some weeks ago. His segment starts around the 1:03 mark. I listened up to the 1:20 mark, but I need to head out and get some things done, so I have not gotten to the specific part where he calls the negotiations fake. This post is as much to bookmark this video so I can return and review the rest of it later. Again, don't bother with what Cenk says. Just listen to Kent.

Joe Kent LIVE On TYT!! Trump’s Fake Negotiations Are EMBARRASSING. Ground Troops In Iran Soon?!?
