Investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill shared a startling revelation last week that Iranian negotiators had recruited psychologists to help navigate what they believed was Trump’s “impaired mental state.” And on Monday, Scahill provided an update on Iran’s unique approach to the negotiations, which he said Tehran partially credited for Sunday’s success.
“Senior Iranian psychologists began working with the negotiating team to try to cater the messages that the Iranians were sending via mediators back to Donald Trump to try to take into account what they say as his specific mental illness and mental deficiencies,” Scahill said in an interview with Democracy Now published on Monday.
“Almost quite clinically, they said they began to see this process yielding results as they worked with psychologists to send these communications to Donald Trump, and they credit that, in part, with getting to this point where Trump finally accepted some version of his manufactured and almost entirely false victory narrative.”
They prop up the people who are opposed to their enemies. Same reason the US props up extremists. Iran’s actions are easily modeled pragmatic responses to geopolitical reality, and quite poorly as religiously driven, otherwise they wouldn’t sometimes fund Sunni groups who they fundamentally disagree with.
You know Marx would have a term for those that go out of their way to support a theocracy over and Imperialist nation.
Class traitor
We could argue the pros and cons of each nation, but why? All we are arguing about is two large nations trying to impress their will upon smaller nations. Neither is good for the people of the smaller nations.
Countless Yemenis, Palestinians, Lebanese people are defending themselves from literal genocide with Iranian weapons. Don’t bothsides this shit.
Thats not what that means lmao
Cool story class traitor
Go ahead an pick your preferred oppressor. Capital or religion your choice. I’ll chose the people
You chose capital by opposing every resistance to it. There’s no third option when Israel is genociding Palestine and Hamas leads the unified front against them.
