Perfidious Trump

When I was a child, one of the more heavily covered subjects in school was the Second World War. That was because it was the war of our parents, the school board, the senior administrators and the senior teachers (there were still a couple teachers around who remembered the previous war). One of the things that was always mentioned was the perfidiousness of the Japanese, who attacked while negotiations were ongoing.

Fast forward almost ninety years and it's the Iranians who are making the same point.

FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI:We are only defending our- our people, from the you know, the- this, this act of aggression. And we don't see any reason why we should talk with Americans, because we were talking with them when they- when they decided to attack us, and that was for the second time. There is no experience- good experience talking with Americans. We were talking. So why they decided to attack us? So what is good if we go back to talk once again?
