SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: This is not a good day for America.

This claim by the vice president these talks represented a “last, best chance“ to resolve the war, is it itself a bad sign. That’s not how diplomacy works. It took years to negotiate an end into the Vietnam war, and a year and a half to negotiate armistice to bring the Korean war to an end. To think that you’re gonna have a single diplomatic meeting, that’s gonna solve a war, is unrealistic in the extreme. If this truly was a last offer, then it was no negotiation at all, it was merely an ultimatum with a requirement for surrender. Pretty unlikely Iran will accept such terms, and most likely this just starts a countdown clock for a resumption of the war. Problem for us is, the same reasons we didn’t have military success in the first six weeks all still exist, and we are not likely to have success in the next six weeks either. Meanwhile, Iran will maintain control of HORMUZ, and the price of oil will remain high, and the dearth of fertilizers leaving the Gulf will continue to exert profound pressures on the global economy, especially here in the United States. This is not a good day for America.
