Trump Willing To Meet Rohani Without Preconditions?

Not will he, but why is he saying this (and contradicted by Sec. Pompeo)?

He is taking a page from the Obama playbook.  Don't doubt it.

Obama squeezed Iran hard with his terrorism (sanctions).  This is what Obama said about negotiating with Iran:




Now Trump, after having created havoc in Iran by dishonoring the JCPOA, with the additional sanctions, threatening others with secondary sanctions, rumors of war, and increase in funds for direct broadcast into Iran, is saying he is willing to meet.

What a farce.

Not only Iran, but other countries would have to be truly stupid to trust America - Trump being its current White House occupier (though certainly not the one formulating foreign policy).  But Trump's message was heard.  Sadly, regrettably, even Iranian media (Press TV, Mehr) broadcast it.  Maybe even implying that Trump is giving in to Iran.   So now, the blame is put squarely on the shoulders of the Iranian government.  This Trump talk was meant to convey a message to Iranians:  'Your government is responsible for your hardship, not America'. 

The message to allies: 'We tried to work with them, they refused.  You need to get on board with us'.

Message to China and Russia:  'Iran is responsible for a potential conflict'.

Trump is a narcissist, racist excuse for a human being.  His handlers are the devil's disciples.

Putin-Trump. Praise for Trump for doubting intelligence?

Many bright, informed, liberals, some very prominent individuals, have praised Donald Trump for doubting "US intelligence".  Their argument is: 'look at where our faulty intelligence took us with regards to Iraq'.

This would be a sound and justified argument if Trump had rejected the intelligence on Syria's alleged chemical weapons - he did not.  He bombed Syria without evidence.

He did not argue against intelligence on any other instance OTHER than Russia.

So this line of thinking does not merit consideration.

Is it good to talk to your 'adversary'?  Always, but why only Russia and nowhere else?

We cannot cherry pick and more than Trump can cherry pick.
