Iran has enemies. North Korea is sitting next to China/Russia. Iran is in the Middle East where everything is measured by religious purity. The Christian Nationalists in the USA are like that within the USA borders, religious purity. We see a lot of the religious purity play out at the Supreme Court. It is the one place where God overrides the USA Constitution.
The question with any third world country when it comes to denuclearization or peace is the measure of progress. Not ultimatums or timelines, but, inspections by the only organization qualified and disinterested enough to be trusted, the IAEA.
The way compliance is achieved with such negotiations is through incentives. Those incentives have to mean something. These are highly impoverished countries. If better status of the people can be achieved as in healthcare, the progress of the treaty becomes measurable and benevolent. Benevolence has its rewards. But, achieving such benevolence requires investment from the wealthiest countries on the planet as with USAID.
Replacing USAID with hegemony is illegal.
Trump justifies his violent regime by complaining the immigrants or Iran is manipulating “the system that doesn’t work.” And nothing works. NATO doesn’t work. Voting machines don’t work. Voting always results in manipulation and takes Trump’s power away.
Nothing works except killing and destruction and ICE. Two hundred and fifty years of growth into the greatest democracy ever to be on Earth, but, nothing works, huh? I will tell you what does not work. Donald Trump does not work.
