Missed Ritter's bit, presumably he was getting all shouty and overblown as usual, but it ended amicably & respectfully between him & Marandi, both saying that they were in agreement on most of the major points. Ritter even admitted to having an ego(!) and taking it personally when accused of being a puppet for Israel & the US against Iran. He agreed with Marandi that US provocations and its 'nation ending' strategy wrt Iran was the main causative factor, and that a diplomatic off-ramp was needed. I don't know if he was arguing that Iran should abandon its alleged nuclear ambitions or destroy its drone & ballistic missiles as the US/Israel seemed to be demanding. That seems like it would be a suicidal thing to agree to at this point.

Anyway, good discussion, thx for posting - maybe I'll repost it myself in a couple of days just to make sure ppl see it

cheers,
