@AlSweigart The difference between intelligence and wisdom is knowing the answer vs knowing who needs to hear it.

@AlSweigart these are all amusing observations, but quite far from the truth.
Iran just pants the shit out of the US, on all fronts. The satellite images I've seen of US bases, the reports of 'ghost town bases', the utter destruction in Israel that's been swept under the carpet, say it wasn't the crap negotiating team, but Iran's capabilities, that won the war.
The Americans might be fools, but they know when they're beat

@AlSweigart They sent JD Vance who practiced law for under two years and never rose to more than associate in civil litigation and has virtually no experience in hard negotiation to "negotiate" with Iran. He has gotten suckered and publicly humiliated by both the Iranians AND Trump (his own side) who have zero respect and total public contempt for him.
A negotiating basic: The other side must believe whatever you utter has the complete 100% support of your side/bosses, if you don't, you are USELESS to them, and an insult, as you have no power to actually deal and are "bargaining in bad faith."
I did this for a career. Vance is a global joke.@pattykimura @AlSweigart well he ain't called Jimmy Dingus Vance for nothing

@AlSweigart rich real estate agents are not skilled.

@AlSweigart Word. But no need to dunk on real estate agents. These guys are more like corrupt developers--Rocky & Bullwinkle type villains.

Vance is a global joke.@pattykimura @AlSweigart To play devils advocate (for the sake of it really), I dont think a single negotiator on earth could have gotten anything there when your own president is admitting you are on the ropes and only have 4 weeks, or with representing an admin that changes opinions weekly, or with israel acting up.
I dont think anyone could get anything good with those conditions, a complete clownfiesta (vance is obviously responsible for that).
