Absolutely masterful strategy from Washington.
Step 1: Declare the existing situation with Iran “unacceptable.”
Step 2: Launch attacks to dramatically worsen the situation.
Step 3: Spend the next few weeks desperately trying to negotiate a deal to return to something very close to the original situation.
Step 4: Call it “progress.”
Now Marco Rubio says there are “some good signs” a peace deal can be reached. Which is wonderful news, because after all the missiles, threats, emergency meetings, oil price spikes, shipping fears, and nonstop TV graphics about World War III, the grand diplomatic achievement may ultimately be… not completely destroying the previous status quo.
Truly inspiring. Like setting your own house on fire so you can later hold a press conference announcing encouraging developments in firefighting talks.
At this rate, the Nobel Committee may need a new category:
“Best Recovery From Problems You Personally Created.”
