That’s like telling the rug merchant to give you all the rugs the shop you’ve set on fire and tell him that you’ll help him put the fire out, after you’ve loaded up all the rugs. It sounds bad, doesn’t it? Well, it’s worse. All those missiles and bombs we’ve dropped on Iran have cut off their communications to the extent that the leadership has a great deal of difficulty talking to one another – probably because they’re all in bunkers and all the cell towers are down and their military super-secure commo networks are destroyed. So, they can’t get together and decide how to respond to our 15-point “offer,” other than to tell us to stick it and where. The negotiations, if they can be called that, are therefore much slower than they might have been if we hadn’t bombed the shit out of everything in Iran.

So, what’s the result, as of today? Well, Iran is still shooting missiles at Israel, and Israel appears to be running low on its Iron Dome anti-missile defenses, and more of Iran’s missiles are getting through. Iran is still sending drones across the Gulf to hit its neighbors, and its drones are getting though, because it turns out that Iranian drones are hard to shoot down. Back here in the U.S., we’re raiding the stockpiles of our missiles wherever we can find them, because we’re running low, and it turns out that our F-35 fighter is not as stealthy as we thought, because one of them has been shot down. So we’re not going to be using zillion-dollar F-35’s to drop bombs on Iran, of which we still have many.
