The multiply-failed establishment is back in the saddle. The Iran nuclear deal was one of the most disastrous agreements ever entered into by any American administration. Get the details in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran.
“Iran deal architect among veterans named for Biden State Department,” AFP, January 16, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The lead US negotiator of the Iran nuclear accord and a battle-tested hawk on Russia were named Saturday to top posts in President-elect Joe Biden’s State Department, signaling a return to a more traditional, multilateral approach after Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency.
Wendy Sherman, who brokered the Iran accord under Barack Obama and negotiated a nuclear deal with North Korea under Bill Clinton, was named as deputy secretary of state.
Victoria Nuland, a former career diplomat best known for her robust support for Ukrainian protesters seeking the ouster of a Russian-aligned president, was nominated undersecretary for political affairs — the State Department’s third-ranking post, in charge of day-to-day US diplomacy.
Biden said that the State Department nominees “have secured some of the most defining national security and diplomatic achievements in recent memory.”
“I am confident that they will use their diplomatic experience and skill to restore America’s global and moral leadership. America is back,” Biden said in a statement.
The State Department team will work with secretary of state-designate Antony Blinken, whose confirmation hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, on the eve of Biden’s inauguration.
“America at its best still has a greater capacity than any other country on Earth to mobilize others to meet the challenges of our time,” Blinken said.
The optimism comes amid rising doubts about US leadership in Trump’s waning days after his supporters ransacked the Capitol on January 6 to try to stop the ceremonial certification of Biden’s victory.
In a sign of the Biden administration’s priorities, veteran diplomat Uzra Zeya was named undersecretary for civilian security, democracy and human rights — a position that went vacant, except for officials in acting capacity, for Trump’s full four years.
Among the most visible posts, the spokesperson for the State Department will be Ned Price, a CIA veteran who made waves in February 2017 when he said he could not in good conscience serve under Trump.
Price, a former spokesman for the National Security Council, is expected to resume daily televised briefings, a onetime fixture of US diplomacy that came to a halt under Trump….

No Deals with Stupid Javad Zarif MI^ belongs to British queen of london. Javad Zarif is lier. Iran has 10 Atom Bombs , It was under ground explosion of atomic bomb under desets of Kashan produces 8 .1 quakes . That was over 15 years ago. So this regime is making more atom bombs even EU knows that any deal with terrorist regime is null and void . Iranian terrorist regome is extending war games in persian gulf again , Pentagon is ordered another B52 bomber to Persian Gulf as well. She on Biden if deals with Iran.

As I have pointed out to Mojdeh many times, there is no “queen of london”.
Then, Javad Zarif is Iranian–he is not British. The implication that the Iranian nuke program is actually being run by the West is quite groundless.
Wellington says
Just a sampling of things to come under a woke and dimwit Biden by those who will completely control him.
America’s 46th President will be unique in many respects, two of them are that he will be the least intelligent (easily so) of the previous 45 Presidents, and, second, compounding all this is that Biden is not even in complete control of his mental faculties, mediocre as they were when “at his best.”
And to all those who voted for Biden, I mean the legitimate voters and not all the phony, non-existent, out-of-state, thrice-counted phony voters, et al., you effed up big time. The sin upon your foolish collective head forever. A la Jesus, you know not what you have done. But, unlike Jesus, I do not forgive you.
mortimer says
Biden and his family took money from China, a hostile foreign government, while he was Vice-President. That is surely a crime.
OLD GUY says
mortimer, it is only a crime if you are a Republican.
Phil Copson says
Trump may well go down in history – (or at least “history” as understood by conservative commentators and rational readers) – as “The Last Great American President”.
Patriot Pastor says
Amen
Infidel says
As Lauren Boebert said on Gab yesterday, “Joe Biden has managed to take everything that is wrong with DC bureaucracy and fit it into one Cabinet.”
mortimer says
Well summarized. Repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome is the definition of madness.
latha says
They just want to negate everything that Trump Administration did & say, “See, we are the good ones unlike the bad bad racist Trump” & weirdly enough there are duffers in the US to take this lunacy as well – the Trump baiters for the sin of being White (Orange if you like).
The agenda for the first 10 days of this Govt on priority basis :
1. The Biden-Harris Govt is going to normalise 11 Million illegal immigrants’ citizenship when already 9 Million US citizens are below the poverty line.
2. Renege & lift up the travel ban imposed by the Trump Administration on countries that pose risk to the US.
3. They may add 9000 immigrants who are marching from Honduras emboldened by the present administration.
In short they are undoing everything that the Trump administration did to secure protection & safety of US.
Infidel says
All that, and they wanna give citizenship to 11 million illegals
Kevin says
I am shocked you are following the media line that it was just Trump supporters in the Capitol building, its not true, what about the leading BLM activist who called for the Capitol building to be burnt down only a short time ago, and inciting others to do this on 6th January, who has now been charged? The far right, who Trump publically condemned were there, so why not speak the whe truth? It is so disappointing!
Tyler says
I concur!
mortimer says
The same failed policies will not SUCCEED the second time. Those polices will FAIL the second time.

This woman wants to give Iran the bomb, lets not kid ourselves.

This is probably not her aim, but it will likely be the result.

Biden names lead US negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal to be deputy secretary of state
………….
As Robert Spencer says, what could possibly go wrong?
Walter Sieruk says
,The reader may be rather sure that this woman who Joe Biden named as his chief negotiator to Iran is at terrible choice by Biden because of two specfic reasons.
First, Biden has awful judgement because is feeble-minded and totally unfit to be the President of the United States of America.Second, Biden’s pro-Islamic and treacherous and treasonous to America, ,at least in spirit .This he has proven many times over, by his words ,Marxist associates and political politics sand policies .
Second, Joe Biden, when he becomes President, he will just mindlessly just continue in the same old terribly flawed fool and terrible policies of his former boss and chief, Obama, favoring that tyrannical cruel and hostile Islamic regime of Iran.
Biden and administration future disaster just waiting to occur.
Eleanor says
Yep, and don’t be surprised if Obama starts pulling Biden’s puppet strings! Not unknown to have an ex leader interfere in the current leader’s government, and work the strings from behind the scenes.
Rev G says
This seems to be happening from day one. Reversing Trump policies regardless of how well they worked. Forcing back the failed Obama policies, trying to make them look better this time. Turd polishing at its costliest.
Sad, Obama picked Biden as assassination proofing, nobody wanted to suffer a Biden presidency. Now we are stuck with it, or even worse, the Cali-hoe.
E T says
Michele Obama said the tech companies should ban Donald Trump and poof next day he was silenced. Vile hate woman strikes again. She will rest when there is no more America.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Walter.
Biden/Harris will be effectively Obama/Biden 2.0
Maybe worse, if you can believe it…

Oh the absolute brilliance of sending a female to negotiate with Islamists, who believe women are 3rd class citizens. LOL No doubt one of crazy Joe’s ideas.

Forty-seven years ago, I had a dream: I set out on the long road to the White House, and today I came to a fork in the road: If anyone out there in Radioland wants to buy a fork, call Joe on Scranton Double-O-Seven…..
I dreamt that one day straight elections would be made crooked ! I dreamt of a world where a man would be elected – not on the number of his votes – but on the colour of his money ! Where my four children will be judged to be above the law – not jailed for the content of their bank accounts ! And, most of all – a world where little white people will be just as poor as little black people, and nobody will ever work again !

The name is Biden – Joe Biden – and I’m Jill Biden’s wife.

I’m the first Biden in forty-six generations to go to the White House. My family were poor mining folk from Beverley Hills – and me and Hunter are still very interested in minors to this day !
