Want to know why negotiations did not succeed? JD Vance: "they have chosen not to accept our terms." Bingo. No negotiations – at least with Iran – will succeed based on "our/your terms." The US must learn: you can't dictate terms to Iran. It's not too late to learn. Yet.

I see Trump is crying again about NATO, and kinda admits his Iran 'excursion' was a test of NATO, which Trump claims failed. I have said this before when Trump tried to threaten to pull us from NATO. President Biden did this! 'President Biden signed legislation in December 2023 that prohibits any U.S. president from withdrawing from NATO without approval from Congress or a two-thirds Senate majority. This law, part of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, prevents unilateral withdrawal, ensuring a long-term commitment to the alliance following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Legal Restrictions: The 2023 statute bars the president from "suspending, terminating, denouncing or withdrawing" from the North Atlantic Treaty without Congressional approval.Strengthening Ties: Biden has actively reinforced NATO's eastern flank and reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defend all NATO territory. Context: This legislation was enacted to solidify the U.S. role in the NATO alliance in response to security concerns regarding Russia. This legislation ensures that NATO participation requires bipartisan or legislative consent rather than being a solely executive decision.'
