Trump has put all his eggs in the Iran-regime-change basket while outsourcing the task to foreign labor (the Israeli military, the Iranian people)--but are the people IN #Iran ready for their FOURTH revolution in just over a century? bit.ly/2rX45cW

Hopefully, it will also help put paid to the notion that Pompeo is somehow "pragmatic" or "strategic" compared to Bolton. They're both on the far right and committed to sustaining a unipolar world dominated by Washington. twitter.com/farnazfassihi/…

Maybe you would if you wanted to have your strategic allies in Europe thinking that you're being reasonable... Otherwise, they may think you're acting in bad faith.

This has been happening for as long as I have been working on SDN delisting matters, but it's becoming more and more common. Parties all of the world are trying to game the system to knock out business and political rivals through sanctions. twitter.com/TylerCullis/st…

Important read. One quibble: Obama didn’t “sit through” briefings on Iran’s nuclear program. He requested them and was engaged. I believe the same of Bush. Because they knew that the only way to make these decisions was to get smart. Trump? Not so much... nyti.ms/2IEogTi

On first reading, Sec/State #PompeoAtHeritage’s “Plan B” re Iran reminds me of Austrian ultimatum to Serbia in 1914. And we know where that led.
