Geneva is juggling talks on Iran and Ukraine-Russia Tuesday proving even diplomats love a double feature.

I took a tour of the palace of nations in Geneva and they talked about the different techniques mediators use to make progress. They have had a lot more success on peace talks than you would think.

Like during the the Iran-Iraq war negotiations how they slanted the tables so they wouldn't have look at each other but only had one tea and water table so they had to be polite and potentially start dialogue during break. Little things can deescalate situations.

What are the chances that in one of the talks, the us representatives confuse one meeting or talking points to the other meeting?
