Madcap Empire tells Iran to behave like a "normal country"!

Despite soaring tensions, the US is open to talk with Tehran, Defense Secretary Mark Esper has said. But there's a catch: such discussion should revolve around “a series of steps” that would make Iran “a more normal country.”
“We're willing to sit down and discuss without precondition a new way forward, a series of steps by which Iran becomes a more normal country,” Esper said on Sunday, speaking on CBS’s ‘Face the Nation’.

Pfwoar! It's the way you tell'em Mark!!!

Meanwhile, straight faces were kept at 'Face the Nation', purveyors of Empire's 'news'.

    How soon foreigners forget Tehran's seizure of the American embassy and their 444 day detention/hostage taking of 98 American citizens.

    How soon do they forget 1953, Farmer? And its consequences? So many years of the Shah?

    Or British Colonial Rule, eh?

    IR655, anyone?

    An atrocity for which Bush Sr. refused to apologise, BTW.

    Wow, if the wrongs of 1953 mean that anyone wronged in the past can violate international diplomatic immunity agreements, then I suppose that no one has a right to be upset over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi in the Turkish Embassy...

      ...oh, wait, the Saudi's didn't rush their own embassy and kill Khashoggi, and Turkey didn't force their way in to investigate. Could it be that they behaved more like "normal countries"?

    Please. By your reasoning no country could ever criticise another.

    The US is not a 'normal country' by any standard. It doesn't want to be: you can't be the world's only superpower and be 'normal'.

      "Normal" countries respect diplomatic immunity and treaties. Iran does not.

      This "normality" wasn't so controversial in the UK a mere 120 years ago...

    ps - That's my mother partnering with the Russian Ambassador (balding) twirling across the foreground in the screen from 3:19-24. We were living in Madrid when this film was made.

      The British used to think that embassy seizures constituted irregular (not normal) diplomatic etiquette. Not so much today, I suppose?
