Red Don says he'll meet with Iran - Iran says, yeah, I don't think so

Trump says he'd meet with the president of Iran, but Iran is ruling it out.

the possibility of dialogue and engagement, and the United States
has shown that it is totally unreliable." https://www.nytimes.com/

3. Because it never was intended to be a negotiation conference.

Don thinks himself the Mafia Don and was going to say to Iran (without any irony) "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse."

8. Iran does not look reasonable

They should stop uranium enrichment and allow inspectors access to any and all suspected nuclear sites (which is what Obama, and most of the international community, has demanded).

10. Iran rejects U.S. demand for U.N. visit to military sites (Aug 2017)

Iran has dismissed a U.S. demand for United Nations nuclear inspectors to visit its military bases as “merely a dream”.

13. The article says the IAEA has so far found Iran is in compliance

And that inspections of military bases are permitted only if we first present credible evidence of non-compliance at those bases, which to the best of my knowledge we have not done.

Moreover, the Donnie administration is on really weak ground to demand anything relating to a deal Donnie has rejected.

5. "The United States has shown that it is totally unreliable"

In case any of your Trumper friends are wondering why you don't fall down in adoration at the feet of their hero, that's it in a nutshell: The United States is totally unreliable. While that might make for interesting reality show television, it's no way to govern a country, particularly one that styles itself as the leader of the free world and the greatest nation on earth. Our word is not our bond, and every other country knows it.

had been circulating a picture of Obama meeting with India's Prime Minister years ago and claiming it was Rouhani.


The hypocrisy is incredible.

.........because Obama said something to the effect that he might consider meeting with the leader of Iran with no preconditions? Yeah, I can't wait until someone more resourceful than I am pulls all those clips and then plays them side-by-side with the exact same people praising Trump for saying it.
