Trump put Vance in charge of Iran peace talks. He’s now quizzing people on his vice president’s performance

With Vice President JD Vance, a one-time Iran war skeptic, now tasked with brokering a deal to end it, President Donald Trump has been monitoring his progress closely and inquiring with various friends and advisers how they’d rank his performance, according to three people familiar with the conversations.

Corporations are inherently sociopathic. Not coincidentally, sociopaths often end up leading them.

Sociopaths make up 1% of the population and 21% of CEOs. That should tell us something about corporations.

There is an excellent book and documentary called The Corporation by Joel Bakan about this. (I included it in my book, too.)

Capitalism, if not sociopathic itself, sure enables it.

#UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres warned the #US that attacking #civilian #infrastructure is banned under #InternationalLaw, his spox said Monday.

“Even if specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective,” spox Stephane Dujarric said, an attack would still be prohibited if it risks “excessive incidental civilian harm.”

A court would need to decide whether such attacks were #WarCrimes, he said.

#Trump says he’s “not at all” concerned about committing #WarCrimes as he continues to threaten destruction of Iran’s #bridges & #PowerPlants if they don’t meet a Tuesday-evening deadline to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

“I hope I don’t have to do it,” Trump added.

“We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every #bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” #Trump said during his Monday news conference.

#PowerPlants in #Iran, he continued would be “burning, exploding & never to be used again.”

Trump refused to say whether any #civilian targets would be off limits in the #US response.
