General Discussion

Today, accepting it as a "basis" for negotiations comes off as a desperate temporary off-ramp, because honestly, Iran's terms are completely at odds with all the crap Trump has been spouting. I don't think there is any consensus besides "How do we quickly save face, stabilize the markets, and get a little more oil flowing?". Israel isn't on board. The Republicans aren't on board. It doesn't even seem Iran is thrilled about accepting a cease fire before guarantees are made (part of their proposal after all). So yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

Tomorrow a humiliated Trump will realize his framing of this is being taken as a joke. Then what does a narcissist do?
