The strongly implied message in Bessent's post is that any deal will require a handover of power as well as the nuclear issues.

I'm not sure the administration has been super clear on that specific issue.

I imagine some of this is because they would take a Venezuela type situation. Someone who is "part of the regime" but "acts right."

While they're at it, they should ask the Islamic Republic to submit a working paper on UN approved methods of protest control.

They rotated onto the Human Rights Council a few years ago. The UN just follows their high school club rules regardless of what's actually happening in the world.

The psychological warfare going on in that tweet is interesting to any observer.

Oh look, it's just Russia defending Christiandom again by hosting Islamic fundamentalists. :lol:

Wait, I thought they were in control. How can the blockade damage their oil wells if they are kicking our arse?

Seems like they can't get their story straight.

Hell, look at cities like Atlanta. Blacks take over and these cities turn into total crapholes.

The white population of Atlanta has grown while the black population has fallen over the last few decades.

I'm not going to pretend to know what the right number is or I know anything about military production and logistics, but it seems to me we're never going to store enough munitions for a "prolonged peer action" because it's a monumental waste of money.

We're not going to carry WWII levels of inventory in the off chance we might need it. It's too costly and wasteful as technology develops while maintaining old inventory. If such a situation were to arise, I imagine the plan is to leverage our domestic production capabilities and speed up manufacturing timelines as needed.

Similarly, we wouldn't have the bodies for a peer fight either, and would draft soldiers.

Daaamn, US military fricked them up. :lol:

Imagine getting in a war and losing half your shite in a month. Thanks for sharing Bunk!

The assets don't just magically go poof if the US government doesn't buy them.

I anxiously await him going undercover with a Jamaican accent. Love those scenes when Miami Vice was on Netflix.
