It's a terrible look for the Republicans Come November they will have to defend their pro war vote Come November they will have to defend their higher gas prices and inflation vote |

Correct. It’s why we will have SOTH Jeffries. And maybe SML Shumer. But still President DJT. As you often say…. Get out the popcorn! |

The U.S. retaliated by launching strikes on Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island." _______________________________________ The whole thing is absurd, just resume the war or walk away. There is clearly no ceasefire and no straightforward negations. Trump made a statement yesterday to the effect that there may not be a deal "for years," and this game is "longterm." So, this very possibly could turn into another endless ceasefire with occasional spattering of drama and combat.... ______ https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/trump-says-agreement-iran-will-take-time _________ It will take "years". You know what else took years, the deal he ripped up in 2018? If this goes on through 2028, and Trump still has no deal, or a deal worse than Obama, that would be both sad and hilarious in a dark way.... Trump also just made a comment that "nobody expected them to close Hormuzth or target regional allies," What? You mean how we learn about Hormuzth in 8th grade world history and how a war with Iran would rattle global trade? And, nobody in a Presidential administration considered what is standard 8th grade world history for the last 20 years at least? Trump is also claiming that a retired President told him that they wished they started a war with Iran like Trump did. Trump will not state which President this is. And, every living President categorically denies having this opinion or making this statement.... It is crazy land..... |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 30 Posts: 5464 | Israel and Iran spent last night launching attacks at each other. Both agreed to stop today and resume "recognizong the ceasefire." This goes back to my point, I think just about every side, even Israel now, has broken the ceasefire when convenient. Is it even a ceasefire if it is only followed when vaguely feeling like it? |

Iran is playing hardball and winning What they are doing is having the most influence on the US elections this fall Trump is playing softball and doesn't even know it He's listening to Hegseth saying the US is kicking Iran's ass to save his job Even Soopoo raves about all the people Hegseth has killed It's all meaningless. Can't change Iran's regime. Can't prevent Uranium enrichment. Can't keep the Strait open He's playing checkers and Soopoo is raving about meaningless checkers moves Iran is playing chess by keeping the strait closed making this one of the most unpopular wars ever in American history Iran is making sure Trump loses power They are influencing the US elections and know it. Trump has only 2 choices Agree to Iran's terms or simply withdraw Trump painted himself into a corner Got the popcorn out |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 166 Posts: 5724 | Trump has a third option, actually: bomb them into the stone age. Destroy their country. Not that he should...but he could... Oh wait, didn't he already said we destroyed their military? Never mind, I guess we won. Hmmm....why is inflation soaring? |

Because then there wouldn't be a nation to foster regime change on. |

| missedhervee Member since: Apr 23, 2021 Threads: 166 Posts: 5724 | Let me clarify: I do NOT suggest that Tehran should be completely destroyed, but that is where I thought the fat oaf was heading when this nonsense first started. Very aggressive...but then NADA to speak of. What the hell happened? If not TACO then...what and why? Hopefully the fat oaf and his idiot handlers realize Iran will never accept the terms he offers: they're a proud people and still have a lot of fight left. How will he extricate his lard ass from this one? |

Iran is totally playing Trump They want a cease fire including Israel They won't talk until Trump puts pressure on Israel to stop attacks That's getting concessions without giving up nothing Of course once talks start again, they will go hardline because they can |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 30 Posts: 5464 | Trump made a statement this morning that a deal will be made within three days and the strait will be reopened immediately after signing. Does anyone even believe this any more? How many "by the end of the week," statements has he made so far? Does anyone actually believe that Hormuz will "almost certainly," be open by this coming weekend? I guess if you say it every week eventually you will be right? (And, people will quickly forget all of the times he lied and focus on the correct week.) https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-trump-peace-deal-israel/ |
