Yes, I proposed a deal with Trump if you want a lasting nuclear deal you negotiate it with a conservative that was my point.
Look at negotiations right now...Biden doesn’t even have enough political capital to lift a symbolic gesture on IRGC. Meanwhile, Trump went and stepped foot in North Korea and shook hands with Kim. You think any democrat could ever do that? No because the system in American is built for conservatives to rule.
Negotiating deals with democrats is risky. A Republican won’t rip another Republicans deal, but they will a Democrat. Why should Iran negotiate with Biden when he is on track to lose handily in re-election? Are we negotiating 4 year deals now? Then 4-8 years sanction then 4 year deal again?
Also no IRGC “officer” has authority to military support Russia without SNSC and rahbar approval. Not sure why you think the IRGC is gonna help Russia over metallurgy for the Air Force.....IRGC viewpoint on airforce and its vitality is quite clear (wether that viewpoint is right or wrong is irrelevant).
This is the man you want to negotiate with? Who designates millions of Iranians “terrorists” for serving their military duty?
Trump allowed Rouhani at G-12 summit and waited in a room for his phone call. For all his bad (and there is a lot of bad with Trump including Solemani’s assaination) he at least had the political capital to make moves from his base and could withstand the liberals.
Let’s not act like Hilary or Biden wouldn’t have assisinated Solemani. Only Obama was the one who understood that containment just won’t work on Iran and that Iran should have a spot in the Middle East power structure. He also refrained going into Syria from a false flag chemical attack done by his allies. No one else since him believes that....Trump could have cared less about it...he just wanted a deal that was “his”.
