Told @cnn that Trump's focus on appearing as the winner is starting to become a threat to the negotiations. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Trump has not been able to resist mocking Iran and portraying Iranian restraint as a sign of weakness. This is self-sabotage.

I discuss on @Bannons_WarRoom why the whole idea of a naval blockade won't go anywhere. Trump has no escalatory paths out of this futile war; the sooner he recognizes that and adopts realistic negotiation positions, the better off the US will be.
Perhaps the most important thing @joekent16jan19 told @TuckerCarlson is that the deal to end the war will necessitate some sanctions relief for Tehran - and that it lies in the US's economic interest to lift sanctions:
Trump had time on his side during the ceasefire - until he imposed the blockade per the recommendation of FDD, Israel, and Lindsey Graham. Though the blockade is hurting Iran, it has ended up hurting Trump more, with oil prices now exceeding where they were even during the war itself.
Spoke to @owenjonesjourno about how Trump has already lost control over the war and that increasingly desperate measures are being considered as a result. In comparison, the Iraq war plan didn't go off the rails until August 2003.
Finally, some honesty... CNBC: How do you see this war ending? WITKOFF: I don't know...
From Netanyahu's perspective, a renewed US-Iran war is ideal. Particularly if the alternative is - in the midst of Israel's upcoming elections - a US-Iran deal that entails sanctions relief for Tehran.
Conservative Archbishop Broglio declares that Trump's war of choice with Iran is impermissible under Catholic teaching. It cannot be considered a just war.
To say that Trump underestimated Iran is an understatement. The Israelis sold him - and he ended up believing - a narrative that portrayed Iran as so weak that the war would be won within 4 days. 60 plus days later, Trump is still stuck in the mess Israel sold him.
SNL cracks the code on Trump's strategy! "We don't know [what's happening]! And that's the whole point! If we don't know what we are doing, then Iran definitely doesn't know what we are doing!"

Policy shifts change access. Timing matters. If you’re just now looking, you need updated strategy, not old clips. Resources + referrals are structured. If you’re researching relocation or you have access to capital, this is for you. If you don’t have a plan or capital yet, you need one before you

Dems must expose how much Trump and his Republican Epstein-class despises Americans. Scott Bessent literally claimed you have less savings not because of high costs, but because you have 'more confidence.' They think we are stupid and gullible.

I wasn't suggesting you were. I just notice the airbrushing of british history is in full flow at the moment. The DUP fluffing up their association with the declaration of independence, that brought an end to british colonial rule in USA, or "St Patrick was a protestant" still makes me chuckle.
