Bill, thanks for the link. Very interesting. I did not know that Trump the Conqueror had ordered increased production of interceptor missiles, months before the attack on Iran. The linkage between knocking over Venezuela, and attacking Iran, is obvious. Trump the Conqueror says it out loud. I don't agree that Witkoff and Kushner were intentionally placed in negotiations as incompetents. Kushner has been a go to guy since the first term. It was Kushner, that was gushing how valuable the ocean front property in Gaza would be, once all the Pals were gotten rid of.

Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’

Donald Trump’s son-in-law also says Israel should bulldoze an area of the Negev desert and move Palestinians there

I think the negotiations with Iran were simply to induce the Iranians to let their guard down.

Most folks don't appreciate the level of greed, and disdain for people, by extreme sociopaths, like the Trump crowd. I look at their machinations, and say "yup, typical JC".
