If you look at the timeline again, I don't know how anyone who isn't literally retarded can buy the official explanation coming out of the White House, i.e. that after Trump made his civilization-destroying threat Iran decided to let discretion be the better part of valor by agreeing to come to the bargaining tabl
Maybe I'm retarded, but I think there might be a small kernel of truth here. One thing I've learned from the Iranian diaspora is that, culturally, they're "bombastic", if you want to be charitable or "drama queens" if you don't. Trump is also firmly in that category. It might be the first time that the Iranians have had a counterparty that speaks in their cultural idiom.
I don't know if I'd call that a good thing or a bad thing, but it certainly is different than the last few administrations.

I'm still recovering from the dental work, both physically and financially. Holiday family visits with $4/gallon gas didn't help either.
Spending is $331.51 higher than last year. Still working to get it down.
I've had some pretty heavy family commitments take up a lot of my time lately, so I'm somewhat uninformed. How serious was the offer? Most of their negotiating baselines seem like they've been anchored far too heavily in their favor to be taken seriously.
