Sure, the regime excels at sweeping performative actions that merely look like a real answer. It's enough to fool rubes, who hang on the superficial details with no seemingly ability to judge for themselves nor willingness to listen to analysis from their fellow citizens.
What do I want? Depose the "leaders" who started this war, and make them face justice for their crimes. From that place of honesty, negotiations can start. A pipe dream, of course.

- mindslight 4mo agoIt's nonsensical to talk about a "current deal" when these things are merely being used for marketing, and it's not compelling to have picked one currently-plausible "goal" from the hodgepodge of justifications that have been trotted out. It seems like you're still trying to shoehorn the situation into 4-d chess.
- qsera 4mo agoThere is no "hodgepodge of justification". There is one thing that Trump has been insisting, and it is the nuclear power thing. He also says a lot of other stuff, but that is to irritate his detractors. But it is pretty easy to pick how the stuff he really cares about if you not very biased...
- mindslight 4mo ago> one thing that Trump has been insisting ... He also says a lot of other stuff So then, a hodgepodge? Why does it seem like the "one thing" changes by the conditions of whatever is needed to thread the needle of rationalization? If you want to talk about bias, continuing to pick out what you perceive as signal from the noise of a long-known double-talking con man would seem to be a very strong bias.
