Of course there is no path to agreement. Iran insists on its right to have nuclear weapons so it can coerce Saudi Arabia and destroy Israel on its way to ruling a worldwide Shiite caliphate. President Trump will not permit any of that, and will demonstrate this kinetically if Iran does not take this limited time opportunity to surrender. But the dawa, the invitation, is a necessary step in the process. The Mullahs will recognize this, because they issued their dawa to surrender to President Trump in their first message to him. The negotiations also give the US Navy time to get all their assets in place, and do whatever coordination is necessary with the IDF before activities commence.
Former Ambassador Bolton is unfortunately not nearly as brilliant and insightful as he imagines, in my observation, and gets rather tangled up in Trump Derangement Syndrome, to the detriment of what logic he can generally muster.. |
