    My piece in : "Zarif's legacy will eventually boil down to a simple question: Did he serve to restrain or enable Iran's internal repression and external radicalism?" History will likely remember him as more an enabler than a restrainer

    New from me: Fox News HAD the story of Trump's hush money payoffs to Stormy Daniels BEFORE the election but killed it because the reporter said she was told, "Good reporting Kiddo, but Rupert Murdoch wants Donald Trump to win. So set it aside." Reporter sued, is bound by an NDA.

    When responds to questions about Iran’s human rights abuses by saying “Iran has an independent judiciary”, this is what he’s referring to:

    Iran’s Supreme Leader has appointed Ebrahim Raeesi to head the country’s judiciary. Why is that a bad idea? He was involved in mass executions of thousands of political prisoners to list just one of the many reasons .

    There should be a Rotary exchange program set up for young leftists who want to live and study for a year-not just a short visit-in a socialist and/or authoritarian regime. All societies have challenges, but open societies are best appreciated after living in closed societies

    Of the many good reasons to resign bc of Assad-13 million displaced Syrians, 500K dead, repeat use of chemical weapons-Zarif resigns bc he wasn't invited to meet him. Yet for years he's exonerated himself from Iran's Syria policy by telling Western officials it's not his file

    "The main reason behind ’s resignation is clear: He was upset that he wasn’t at the meeting with Assad alongside Rouhani."

    Iranian Rhapsody: The IRGC's lack of protocol (taarof) triggered Zarif's strategic estrangement (ghahr-kardan), which will require Khamenei's coaxing (delesho be dast biari) for Zarif to return, though Zarif will feign extra umbrage (naz-kardan) to extract maximum concessions
