Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends Archived Message Posted by Ian M on April 10, 2025, 9:01 pm, in reply to "This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends" 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, I Message Thread: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - RaskolnikovX April 10, 2025, 6:19 pm Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - Ian M April 10, 2025, 9:01 pm Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - t April 10, 2025, 11:16 pm Also, the elephant in the room .. - t April 10, 2025, 11:27 pm Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - t April 10, 2025, 10:55 pm Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - Ed April 10, 2025, 11:29 pm Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - t April 11, 2025, 12:14 am Re: This is live now, Ritter debating Marandi and it doesn't look like Scott is winning friends - RaskolnikovX April 11, 2025, 6:27 am   Searching
