It takes two to negotiate in good faith. Both Iran and the USA need to want peace, external pressure can only go so far in negotiations.

    Iran is a cruel authoritarian system that massacres its own population, is reigned by fundamental islamists and destabilizes the whole region for decades.

    This is also the USA’s fault for toppling Iran’s progressive government and installing the ayatollah to get access to Iran’s oil on the cheap.

      So the Mullahs are innocent or what is your point? That is a weird way to comprehend history.

        No the point is that it’s the USA, the UK’s and so forth fault because they keep fucking with any weaker country’s politics such that they stay forever weak, regardless if that means propping up genocidal regimes

        Your take is a weird way to comprehend the fact that international pressures and massive interference exist in this world.

      That was before I was born, or for that matter, when most people alive today were born. We need to quit stopping looking at history and trying to place blame but look at the current world and figure out how we can we make it better. Mind that I have no clue how to do this either, but pointing to history is not particularly helpful to get to the future in this case.

        The key events happened between 1950 and 1990, plenty of people who are alive now were around for that. Also, studying and understanding history is critical to understanding the current state of the world and to chart a path that does not repeat those mistakes.
