Iran Catch-All | US Build-up in region

Trump coming unglued this morning as he's finding making peace is a little tougher then ordering bombs to be dropped.

You know, I could agree that taking out Iran's nuclear ability is warranted. Although, according to Politico this may turn out to be a very short term setback for Iran. But the problem is that it was folly to think Trump could handle this.

Using the F word on live TV Guy is becoming unglued..........

I was up with our newborn when you posted this at 2 AM ET, thought I might have to actually write a post sincerely congratulating Trump for somehow being the POTUS who finally brokered peace in the Middle East, and now at 7 AM it’s apparently no longer true. Wild!

So where do we stand?

We blew the shit out of Iran’s nuke facilities, then Iran couldn’t do anything about it whatsoever, and now we’ve got a ceasefire that recently became effective?

NBC just said both countries legitimately want the ceasefire but also wanted to get last licks in. They said Trump being so strong with Israel this morning means that side will likely comply going forward. Or all sounds very promising.

Holy smokes! Trump said some shit I agree with.

I’m originally from Fairmont which I always thought must have been the worst place in North Carolina. And then I went through Chadbourne.

Pass through Rowland the next time you're in RobCo and let me know.

The summer hear alone makes Columbia unlivable in my book.

Oh, man, good point. Forgot about Rowland and Maxton!

I want to agree to end the fight, but wait… I wanna take this 2x4 up side your head a couple of times real quick. OK. I’m done now. Let’s shake hands and pretend this shit never happened. And let me bend the knee and kiss the feet of the referee who brokered the peace 48 hours after he bombed the shit out of my man cave. We’re good now.

Everyone is focused on the F-bomb but this statement indicates a profound lack of knowledge about the history of armistice and cease fires:



Which is why the staggered cease-fire he announced didn’t make sense in the first place. Both parties tend to intensify fighting ahead of a cessation of violence to try to strengthen their position up to the last second.

Has there ever been written a more hilariously contradictory sentence than “both sides legitimately want to stop shooting at each other but they wanted to shoot at each other one more time before they actually no longer want to shoot each other.”

You said it better than me hahaha.

Now tell Israel to stop in Gaza …

Now tell Israel to stop in Gaza …

and wash it down by telling Russia stop in Ukraine, Mr. Bigly Peacemaker!

 

[CFordUNC]

All jokes and jabs aside, I sincerely would like for Trump to be successful in brokering peace in the ME, eliminating or crippling Iran’s ability to ever become nuclear, and for bonus points, stopping the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. I couldn’t care less that I don’t like Trump personally; I’d happily be the very first person at the front of the line effusively praising him for pulling any or all of the above off.

At some point, though, even Trump’s fiercest supporters, samewashers, bootlickers, and/or both-siders have to acknowledge that directing military strikes and conducting diplomatic negotiations via Twitter is absolutely absurd, right? Like, you can think Trump the the bigliest alpha man, the stablest of geniuses, and the bestest dealmaker that ever made deals, and still find it to be …unbecoming…. that Trump’s own military, intelligence, and diplomatic staffers have to keep him in the dark or stage fake B-2 sorties to prevent him from tipping off our plans to the enemy? At what point can even the staunchest of Trump supporters acknowledge that this is absurd?
