#5 It's actually a simple chain of events.
(1) Russia only negotiates from a position of strength.
(2) Due to 'circumstances', Russia finds itself suddenly not in a position of strength.
(3) Therefore, all negotiating will stop until strength returns.

#6 I see Kerry and his State Department 'conned artists' are releasing another impounded $2.8B to Iran during extended 'talks'.

"...last year's election of a pragmatist, Hassan Rouhani, as Iran's president led to a thaw in ties that resulted in November's diplomatic breakthrough."

Recalling the touting of a "moderate" being elected, it is now a "pragmatist" in office.

While those are the memes being put forth, I don't believe them for a New York minute. The mullahs have their proxies and are supplying them with money and arms. Meanwhile, the U.S. if not careful in international politics, will likely get rolled by the mullahs and this moderate/pragmatic front man. We have not been particularly careful and we have not been keeping our eyes on the ball. The problem is that we have a bunch of silly leftist ideologues led by an a$$hole who are more concerned with forcing their ideology on the America with little care or concern for America's people.

#8 The problem is that it's hard to sanction Russia over Ukraine and have them cooperate with us by sanctioning Iran over nukes. They are just reminding us of that unpleasant fact. Something similar happened when we got on Argentina's case for all their murders during their "dirty war" against domestic opposition. When Russia invaded Afghanistan and we embargoed grain, Argentina broke the embargo and shipped grain to Russia for profit and to get even with us. It's difficult to sanction international bad actors when there are so many of them and the Europeans act so weak.
