#transference — Public Fediverse posts

Interesting, seemingly well-informed read (has the ring of truth & at any rate, better than the breathless stenography coming from the blowhard’s sycophants) - thanks for sharing 🙏🏻 A sample:
“ The U.S. narrative that Iran’s leadership is balkanized and confused and desperate to make a deal but for the malign influence of the “hard liners” from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sabotaging it. “Again, they want to make a deal—they’re decimated. They’re having a hard time figuring out who their leader is,” Trump claimed on May 2.
“Trump in turn assumes the role of the decider who flippantly dismisses Iran’s requests or suggests they are not yet good enough. “ They have not yet paid a big enough price for what they have done to Humanity, and the World, over the last 47 years,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Iranian officials tell a very different story. They view the Trump administration as disjointed, lacking in technical expertise, and in a constant state of chaos as the administration struggles to reconcile U.S. interests with the Israeli agenda and a complete failure to win in either the military or diplomatic arenas.”

Such a weird statement: “They have not yet paid a big enough price…” - meaning??? Not enough profit yet made?
