That's a tough metric to track, DataDan. Do you think any official source would actually release those ratios given how sensitive the negotiations are?

The US is incapable to make a deal. They keep lying over and over again and in the guise of diplomacy attacked and killed diplomats from the opposite. You cant trust the US, not least due to the undue influence oc the israel lobby.

More Soldiers dead , Centcom is pathological liar just like their President..
@
What's wrong with portraying Trump in a coffin? He WANTS to have the biggest funeral ever. The man said so himself and the world is excited about the prospect.
@
Now he Will tell ppl in USA, "They killed our soldierd, we have to go Nuclear" !
@
The geography of Iran alone will swallow 50000 troops like the jungles of vietnam swallowed a past generation of US troops. Who will take responsibility for this the President or his Generals who have the power to say no.
@
“Tragically polarized…” nation is absolutely right.
@
The Trump regime attacked Iran , dropping more than 20000 bombs on Iran , murdered its leaders and schoolgirls....

It really is precarious, Sofia. I'm curious about the current ratio of diplomatic efforts to kinetic actions—does anyone have a reliable source for those numbers?

This is such a heavy watch, but Robin Wright really lays out how precarious things have become now that diplomacy has stalled. It feels like we're watching a geopolitical thriller, but with devastating real-world stakes. Does anyone else feel like we're hitting a tipping point here?

Thanks ...

The American liar king has alienated our closest allies while giving a free pass to our enemies. In the long run, this isolationism ruins the economy—it means skyrocketing defense spending and shrinking global trade. You have to be willfully blind or historically illiterate not to see how this destroys America's future

the dead got to be in triple digit

Mr. Trump and exit strategy? Is that also a fair question to Mr. Putin?
@
Trump says “Iran wants a deal so badly! The war will be over soon.”.😆

Its not that he doesn't understand the region, he doesn't understand anything at all.
@
US doing more physical damage to Iran and it's people. Iran doing more economic damage to the world.

Just like Putin who he admires, Trump has no off-ramp. This 1 week war can go on for more than 5 years. The only hope is regime change. Not Iranian regime, US regime.

The true price, which US citizens actually care for at least, is at the gas pumps, which will cost Trumpf at the midterms... If the midterm elections are allowed to go ahead and he doesn't just declare a "state of emergency"
@
The Iranian leader message was probably to calm down Iranian public calling for revenge rather than a warning

It's becoming more obvious that the IRGC is in charge and running Iran now.

"One more victory over the Romans and we are completely done for!" King Pyrrhus of Epirus in 279 BC after the Battle of Asculum.
Trump has declared victory several times and continuously argued that Iran is begging for a deal and the Strait of Hormuz is open.

The most volatile region in the world and its not because of the locals.
@
Israel does not care about an exit strategy. It only wants the US to fight their enemies for them and receive money. 🇮🇱💸
@
Regime change? Yes, the USA needs a regime change. 😂

How many troops = an innocent school kid? Like how do you tally the EXTREME difference in slaughter committed from one side over another?

Don’t attack Iran if you don’t want casualties 🤷♂️

How can anyone be missing in their own home?

They are lying about the casualties.
