Well, JD Vance didn’t get anywhere with the Iran peace talks. After 21 hours, the U.S. side gave up and went home. But that’s no surprise; the talks were doomed from the get-go. Now Trump has made things even worse. I explain why in today’s piece, link in the replies.

The Iran Talks Were Doomed From the Get-Go

The negotiations in Islamabad were a sad study on how not to conduct foreign policy.

George Mitchell worked for decades to help Ireland and the UK achieve peace. JD didn't even work 24 hours.

@jaykuo When Trump sends a dufus VP and two real estate developers, we get what Trump pays for.

@jaykuo I hear talks broke down when the Iranians said, “All those years of couch fucking have ruined your brain, JD.”

Giving up after 21 hours says, "we weren't actually there to succeed in negotiating a peaceful outcome" (and confirmed by the smirk on Jared's face when they came out to announce the "failure").

Outcomes as intended, even if not as advertised.

Maybe Iran leaders refused to pay for the ballroom, the Arc de Trump and his cleptocratic Mafia Clan.

Well, no results then.

Lets continue with driving the world into a concrete wall at 150mph. We have the nukes.

@jaykuo When Vance said « Iran did not accept our terms » he admitted this was not a negotiation, he was simply expecting Iran to capitulate to Trump’s bullying.
