Subject: Re: Vance Failed. No Deal.
But don’t bitch at me when I say that we have had a clear strategic plan from the beginning and that it is playing out.

Using Occam's Razor, etc., I'd have to say that the clear strategic plan is indistinguishable from an ad hoc poorly planned effort, and the simplest answer is that's what it is. Hanlon's Law says when looking at a clusterfuck choose stupidity, not malice, so we'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were winging foreign policy at the whims of Trump and Netanyahoo. Hey, the bomb everything and 'nuke em till they glow' folks are on your side and you can convince them that there's a plan, but not us. It looks very much like we've got an economic shock coming at us and I hope people realize that and it's priced in. Tell em to come up with a difference in the agreement y'all can claim is much better than the Obama deal and get us out of this mess. Just what the fuck are you doing?
