rubio: “we’re going to disagree on a lot but we can work on the things we might potentially agree upon… ”  wow…decades in days!  simply sitting in the same room, inhaling the same air as lavrov & a lifetime of 1&1=2 is gone.  slate & mind wiped clean.  miraculous, o/c, but few living in the beast’s belly have ever had the great, good fortune to encounter such giants & russia has them by the legions.

this doesn’t feel right.  iran would be bat shit crazy to bribe a partner to take an action publicly, especially one that may potentially harm an ally as well as harm their own reputation.

i remember an interview in which Pandor said she had never taken a bribe of any sort, & in it was critical of members which had.   but if she had taken such a bribe, one so explosive, it would be stupid to make such allegations of others knowing she would be setting herself up for scrutiny from disgruntled opponents.

i also remembered this…& thought @ the time that it may be the beginning of a zionazis set up to gin up bomb bomb iran:
