After Trump invite, Iran commander says: No talks with US

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

TEHRAN, Iran — A top commander in Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard said Friday that Tehran will not talk with the United States, an Iranian news agency reported — a day after President Donald Trump said he'd like Iranian leaders to "call me."

The semi-official Tasnim news agency quoted Gen. Yadollah Javani as saying that "there will be no negotiations with America."

The Iranian commander also claimed the U.S. would not dare take military action against Iran but did not elaborate.

The verbal exchange comes as tensions escalate between Washington and Tehran. The Trump administration sent the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber squadron to the region in response to unspecified threats by Iran against American interests.

Why would anyone negotiate with Trump when he's shown repeatedly his word can't be trusted?

[gratuitous]

1. Trump's demonstrated propensity for lying has damaged the U.S. all over the world

Our allies don't trust us, and our adversaries REALLY don't trust us. No sentient person can blame them.

2. Spot on, "Why would..."

3. But,... but,... he is a business man extraordinaire...

.... and AmeriKKKan and international banks grovel at his doorstep in the hopes to be able to be the bank to offer financing for his next highly successful development projects.

Oh,.. NO,.. no... wait,...

Oh just forget it,...

Look,... look,. A squirrel just ran by.

Hey,.. what is that shiny object over there ?
Is that the Hope Diamond ?

4. Waaahh, they won't talk to me. All I did was pull out of the nuclear agreement

and threaten them with war. Waaahhhh!

5. Why negotiate with America

That’s the bigger problem with Trump pulling us out of previous international agreements.

The precedent has been set. The next Democratic president will face pressure to back out of whatever idiot deals trump makes.

Our credibility is gone.

6. Trump needs to go through Putin..
