Yeah.

Who's going to continue that fight after that?

Ultimatums and beating yourself up?

Well, what's so absurd about it is that amidst the, uh, red lines, the United States of America was whether or not Iran could even enrich uranium.

So the idea that they went into a 21 hour talk of basically JD Vance being like, all right, so you admit that we won the war and they're like, well, no.

And how do you do that for 21 straight hours?

For 21 straight hours, the United States went in with the exact same red lines that were unagreeable before this war even started, which included no enriched uranium, can't back the proxies anymore, which we declare being the largest state sponsors of terrorism.

Got to get...

actually i don't know if the ballistic missile program was in there but just the idea that you were going into this with no enriched uranium so the united states of america was making zero concessions after you know this disaster of a war for six straight weeks and you thought that iran was just going to concede can you know concede on these points it's ridiculous

think that's why they brought the whole team and did it in person was so that they wouldn't be blown up during the negotiations and outing who was doing it and i also i think you called it perfectly i think donald trump just realized that he didn't want to have to blow up the entire country and that he was being uh they called his bluff and so he just needed a way out on that so he wanted to pretend that he was agreeing to their 10 points and then go oh no that was the other 10 points let's get together

And now it's a full 48 hours later.

Everyone forgets that Donald Trump had that red line and he's going with the new crazy strategy, which is I'm going to close the streets myself.

I did not know that.

I did not see that particular line, no.

i think the other thing is uh i'm not friends with jd vance i don't know jd vance i don't particularly get along with jd vance if jd vance told me that i wasn't allowed to go skydiving and i said hey i really like skydiving i'm gonna go skydiving and then he decided to murder my family and physically prevented me from going skydiving that's a different thing than you live with your wife and you've

You're going to have to make compromises and make requests from them, and they're going to make requests from you, and you both get along and have an arrangement with each other that it makes sense for someone to make an agreement to give up something that they'd like to do even though it's their right.

When Iran is its own country and has an incentive to be autonomous and have a civilian nuclear infrastructure, yes, then you're asking them to give up something for absolutely no reason, and there's no reason for them to give it up.

Sorry.

On that last point, it's conceptually a little bit worse than that because somebody could show up to the American blockade and say, hey, I'm not filling up in Iran.

I'm buying from this other country and go through and then come back to get checked and turn out that they did.
