It’s Taco Tuesday, folks!
OMG it's just too funny. Wakes up in the morning: "I'm extincting an entire civilization". In the evening after his nap: "Meh".
I mean it's actually not so funny, I was half expecting news of a nuke on Tehran by the evening. The commander in chief of the largest military in history is a lunatic. Everything's fine.
Whatever, I’ll take it.
My concern is he's obviously getting worse. What will he do next week?
Cuba
Next week he'll attack Iran anyway.
Donald have a snickers you’re not yourself when you’re hungry.
Tbh, I think anyone but himself is probably an upgrade.
I agree
“This broken lighter I found on the floor is running for president “
You have my vote.
God, it's actually Tuesday.
I guess we should be grateful that the cosmic beings who got the assignment, "create the worst possible world," are terrible writers?
My theory is that the genocidal pedophile scum at the Head of the United States and Israel are trying to provoke Iran into attacking one of their allies or escalate the war further so that they can use that as a justification for the mass murder they eagerly want. Trump and his cabinet are rabid animals so they will probably try to stage a false flag attack themselves.
They're doing a bunch.
I think they're mostly testing the waters of public opinion to see how much they can get away with. In addition, they're manipulating the market with these announcements, so they can make bank through stock trades, and on top of all that, like you say, if Iran escalates, then they can escalate in kind.
do they even give a shit about justifications at this point?
Regardless if justifications work or not. I feel It's important to be vigilant of how they will manufacture consent. I happen to live in one of the countries that was threatened by the trump regime, and if there is one thing we are learning about the debacle in Iran is that a militarily weaker country can manage it's geographical resources to at least put some pressure in a trump presidency that is not entirely popular with it's electorate and with an American economy that has very clear instabilities.
Like the two week lead last year for the decision to attack Iran? I'm not sure Iran will buy that. The US is maybe trying for a sequel to "Operation Midnight Hammer", or, as the media chatter is heavily astroturfing right now, having ground troops pillage the uranium stockpile.
The media needs to stop reporting every line of bullshit Trump says and focus on what he and his bootlickers are actually doing. They keep letting him drown out the actual information with his predictable gishgallop.
Pakistan : I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
you could...
Is it TACO Tuesday already?
don't worry... Dementia Trump will forget all about his "promise" after all... we are at the mercy of a Dementia ridden pedophile with a god complex. it really can't get much worse than this.
the crown jewel of capitalism apparently
I mean he only agreed if Iran opens the straight. Iran hasn't said they will do that yet.
In a statement published by Mehr News Agency, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has confirmed the reported two weeks ceasefire deal negotiated by Pakistan.
The statement said that the ceasefire agreement was reached with the approval of Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
Pakistan’s prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, said in a social media post on Tuesday night that the United States and Iran, “along with their allies,” had agreed to an immediate cease-fire. He said the cease-fire applies everywhere, “including Lebanon and elsewhere.”
This TACO Tuesday we have CHICKEN TACOs
Ceasefire also includes Lebanon, Israeli news site reports
Israel's Ynet is reporting that the ceasefire also includes Lebanon.
Citing security sources, the website said the ceasefire includes both Israel and Hezbollah laying down their weapons. It did not provide further details.
Israel is onboard with the ceasefire, too. Haven't they done a fair bit of firing during the Gaza ceasefire(s)?
Al Jazeera has Israel reporters saying this caught Israel off guard. Officials saying it caught them completely surprised
Yeah there’s no way Israel doesn’t break the ceasefire by tommorrow.
Bets on when Iran says there is no deal?
I think they'll announce that Trump has agreed to negotiate on their proposed plan.
They already announced agreeing and reopening the Strait
From the bbc:
And even if Iran does fully open Hormuz – without conditioning passage on tolls or other payments – its ability to control the key geopolitical chokepoint is more clear now than ever.
In a statement after Trump's ceasefire message, Iranian foreign minister Seyed Aragchi said that Iran would halt its "defensive operations" and allow safe passage through the Hormuz "via coordination with Iran's armed forces". He added that the US had accepted the "general framework" of the Iranian 10-point plan.
That plan includes the US withdrawing its military forces from the region, lifting economic sanctions on Iran, paying compensation for war damages and allowing Iran to maintain control over Hormuz. It is hard to imagine Trump actually agreeing to any of those conditions – a sign that the next two weeks of negotiations could be treacherous.
Not exactly what I would call agreeing to open the straight.
“Brave Sir Donald ran away, bravely ran away away, oh brave Sir Donald. When danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Donald!”
You think Donald Trump can run? The guy would get two steps and then collapse from exhaustion.
As an early sunrise blossoms above Tehran, Donald Trump semi-coherently explains that he only agreed to stop conventional bombing and attacks.
Art of the deal
Yeah, that was obvious.
He sure fooled the media though.
Everybody loves tacos.
The world loves you, mexico.
