I would love to know what each party brought to the table, cause the media isnt saying Iran bad, but its implied.

The US media? Oh they choose their wording carefully, sure, but the message absolutely is Iran bad. Has been for years.

And they brought a plan for peace, including what they felt were reasonable concessions; we brought accusations and a list of demands for surrender, control, and money. I thought that was kinda obvious.

Not just USA media.

But yes, the message has always been Iran bad. With these negotiations though no one has said its Iran thats been in the wrong.

Edit: they arent saying Iran bad, just leading you there.

Oh. Huh. Yeah, I can see that. It's fucking weird that the assholes running this dumpster fire right now are so damn stupid they can't get the propaganda right (even Dubya was better at towing the party line, and that moron was probably high off his ass for most of his speeches). Messes with my head. But, I concede that point.

For the first time though im struggling to see what the end game is.

Corporate armies taking over? WW3? Just a really fucking sloppy way to make billionaires richer?

Yeah, with you on that one...
