    Then stop working with Israel and work with Iran. Come to the table with Iran and shift the conversation. Leave Netanyahu out of the conversation for one round of talks and Netanyahu is done politically, forever. You’ve got an actual moderate in Iran to work with. Do so and simultaneously gain ground on both Israel and Russia.

    You realize how naive the take in this piece is right?

        Exactly. They have shown a willingness to come to the table in good faith.

        The entire goal here is to use your leverage. The US has all of the leverage in these negotiations and has simply refused to use it.

          The US negotiated a 5 state treaty that worked. No, the US didn’t have all the leverage but achieved it anyway. Then Trump tore it up. Think Iran would back an agreement with the US again? Far as I know, there is still talking

        So, what has Biden done to restore it?

        If your answer includes the phrase “behind the scenes,” lie to someone else.

          Biden sent Blinkin to talk with the Iranians. Because of the years of uranium enrichment by Iran since Trump destroyed the agreement, the breakout times of the original agreement could not be achieved talks collapsed. Should be a lot of news reports you could google.

      We did that, then the evangelical assholes had the Republicans undermine our efforts that Obama spearheaded.

      Until Republicans are marginalized and a minority party for quite a while, you won’t see any progress.
