Yet another war, this time with Iran

[pood]

TACO Tuesday indeed! He is going to be bouncing off the walls when this meme spreads.

My local supermarket had taco Tuesday today, but I skipped it.

His sycophants probably talked down the psychopath by arguing that what he wanted to do would hurt his wallet.

So Pakistan saves Trump from being an even bigger war criminal - for now.

He's an idiot. He sees everything from the POV of a business mogul. He probably thinks he currently owns the USA, and runs it as his property. US citizens are tenants, to be thrown out at his whim. This is why he believed he could build his ballroom. He thinks he owns the White House. He wants Canada, Greenland, fuck knows where else, the way a business mogul wants to buy up other companies. He doesn't understand anything, except power and money. There is no integrity expected or wanted from his sycophants, only loyalty. If he had the kind of opportunity that Stalin had, he'd be doing what Stalin did. He is already doing it, but so far on a smaller scale.

I still say he will not make the rest of his term.

More and more of the right wing is losing his support. Joe Rogan, MTG, and now Alex Jones. The hard core cultists will be all he has left.

Trump suspends Iran attack for two weeks, subject to Hormuz Strait opening

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had asked Trump for a two-week delay of his Iran deadline, and for the Strait of Hormuz to open for the same period.

www.cnbc.com

It is, of course, deeply doubtful that Iran was any more aware of this "deal" they made than we all are, but putting up with an expected bit of conceit truly is a small price to pay for the slavation of millions of lives.

It was Pakistan's idea. Of course, Iran has to open the Strait. Which will only happen if hostilities pause.

I said before and say again, under Biden I didn't have to check the news every morning to see what stupid or evil action happened at 3am.

When all is said and done the US always stands to benefit from instability in the middle east and Europe. This war won't be any different.

You call it instability?

Are the trade routes stable? Are relations with neighboring countries stable? What, exactly, does “instability” mean in Russian?

You call US/Israel bombing a country and assassinating people an istability?

Well he chickened out. I guess I’m happy he did. Proved me wrong for once. I am just so sick of his stupid shit, I figured he’d do the worst possible thing. He’s fucking insane.

But I should at least give him kudos for this decision. I predict he will not restart the bombing in two weeks.

He also just surrendered. Iran won. He’ll try and spin it otherwise. Fox News will too.

In 4 weeks Hegseth will be gone. If that long.

I hope you're right.

Shamelessly stolen:

The man who launched a war, spiked our oil prices, torched your super, and told you he alone could fix it...
...just got handed a ten-point ransom note by the country he was bombing and called it "a workable basis."

Iran says it has "forced" the US to accept its "10-point plan" which includes the following terms:

1. Commitment to non-aggression
2. Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz
3. Acceptance of Iran's uranium enrichment
4. Lifting of all primary sanctions
5. Lifting of all secondary sanctions
6. Termination of all UN Security Council resolutions
7. Termination of all Board of Governors resolutions
8. Paying compensation to Iran
9. Withdrawal of US combat forces from the region
10. Cessation of war on all fronts, including in Lebanon

Trump says this plan is "a workable basis."

Trump spent years screaming that Obama's Iran deal was the worst deal in history.

He just agreed to something that makes the JCPOA look like America won the fucking World Cup.

Iran gets Hormuz control. Iran keeps enriching uranium. All sanctions lifted. US forces withdraw. And the United States PAYS IRAN compensation.

And you dumbass MAGA supporters roasted Obama alive for less than a tenth of this.

In democracy dumbasses have the same vote as non-dumbasses, just saying.

 

[aupmanyav]

A liar and what not, and fuckingly insane as SLD said. I pity that US is saddled with such person. No one in the world believes a word that he says.

 

[Patooka]

What the living fuck is a "DOUBLE SIDED CEASE FIRE"?

Sorry, that's me being dramatic. Trump is only declaring a "double sided CEASE FIRE!". Because that's how act like an adult.

Fuck I wish forum rules would allow me to suggest what every MAGAtard should do to themselves.

But…
Israel backs Trump's two-week pause on Iran strikes, says Lebanon excluded

Same in a dictatorship; Only difference being that only one dumbass gets to vote.

If you can think of a way to ensure that dumbasses don't get any say, I am all ears. But that will deffo require taking humans out of the loop.

Even smart people are dumbasses more often than not.

I usually avoid BBC articles as they are among the best at making their readers slog through waist deep verbiage before finally awarding them with the point. This article for a change isn't that and is worth the short read to gain a little insight into Pakistan's role in the ceasefire. And it gives Pakistan's status a bit of a bump on the world stage.
How Pakistan helped secure a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran

I can't help but pause and snicker at these Trump quotes:

As for the US relationship, President Trump has referred to the head of Pakistan's armed forces, Field Marshall Asim Munir, as his "favourite" Field Marshall and said that he knows Iran "better than most".

My favorite Field Marshall.
Fucking Trump.

It has never made sense that so many people wanted a businessman as president. How many CEOs make decisions that are best for their employees (voters in this case) vs. their shareholders (billionaires in this case)? How many people hate their boss? Government that makes decisions based on the bottom line is pretty close to a worst case scenario.

Trump says this plan is "a workable basis."[/quite] Which means it isn’t. At this point, tryst what is actually done, not said. Neither party, Iran or Trump (especially Trump) is trustworthy.

One nitpick - Iran already controls the Strait of Hormuz.
