This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 402

  This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 402 Ron Filipkowski Jun 21 … The US has never looked smaller and weaker on the world stage, as JD Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Switzerland to begin talks with Iran. The Iran delegation made Vance wait, then when they arrived Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi refused to shake Vance’s hand, pose for a joint photo, or greet him in any way. … UAE based Middle East expert Amjah Taha : “This was humiliation.

That’s why I’m in this fight with everything I’ve got.
