“I expect that I will leave sometime the next couple of days” to join US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Switzerland for talks with Iran, Vice President JD Vance says in an interview with Fox News.

  • Kushner and Witkoff have been “on the ground” now for a few hours, Vance says
  • Vance says he’s “trying to be respectful” as Qatar and Pakistan want to make sure that the talks are done in the right way

    You know, one that crybaby Donny thinks can be remotely argued as better than "Barack HUSSEIN Obama's Terrible Nuclear Deal with EYE-ran!?! It was it was really terrible. Did everyone see how terrible it was? It was really ......... bad for the country!"

    But only because I'm a true bleeding heart, I'm actually feeling a little sorry him in this situation. It's like he's SO FUCKED RN it's making me feel uncomfortable at home here, even though I hate him.

    This is gonna be a fucking disaster.

    Pretty sure Kushner is there to procure a billion dollar investment (bribe) à la the Saudi deal from the Qataris …and Witkoff is there to negotiate a percentage of the fees the Iranians plan to charge to pass through the Strait of Hormuz..and Vance is the stooge Trump sent to take the blame when the negotiations go sideways…
