The Many Faces of US Politics...

Very soon he will probably say "We have the BEST ceasefire. Nobody's ever seen a ceasefire like this. It's a ceasefire like never seen before. Iran said 'wow.' Everyone said 'wow.' Honestly, it might be the greatest ceasefire in history. Maybe ever."

lol that's sounds about right

Iran looks to have sold Hezbollah down the river.
The whole thing is f*****.

I don't know when the Anglo Irish treaty came about in 1921 Collins was secretly supporting the continued struggle in the north. Don't think Iran will abandon the axis of resistance.

It's all smoke and mirrors.

No surprises that Trump backed down.
Has he any other cards to play?

So much winning for Donny:




14M Chinese Yuan ($2M) per boat out of there is some deal.

If thats real Iran have absolutely come out on top in terms of that deal, I'd be surprised if theres no mention of not developing a nuke on any deal.

And personally for Trump, any guess on the eye watering amounts made during the wheeling and dealing in the background...?

I read that in his voice.

A big beautiful ceasefire.

Best there has ever been.

Let's make lots of money.
It's not that I ever had that much faith in politics or anything,  and used to read political statements based on modal verbs and non-committment/ cop out words, but the new style of bombastic proclamations and crude insults as a protocol is just depressing- Matty Shanks being a devotee on this island.  I'd love to be back as innocent, gormless me.

Iran and US trading memes of each other on social media.

Tell me we aren't in a simulation.

I think that ship has sailed. There's no way Iran are not going for a nuke, especially with the actions of Israel and the fact that they also hold them illegally with no inspections or signup to NPT. Plus the fact that any deal they sign is worthless anyway and can be thorn up by the US or Israel on any old whim.

Apparently they are well beyond 60% enrichment at this stage, with massive upgrades to their centrifuges since Trump ripped up Obama's deal, enrichment having gone into overdrive since.

US begged off because Israel was getting wrecked. Iran have made their first major mistake agreeing to this, now they have a breather to rearm or pull some other subterfuge. The terms are ridiculous.

Now we see the purpose of the pilot rescue story[even though elements are genuine] was to rally MAGA into victory mode.

Morale boost, then the nuke threat then peace. Looks like Iran blinked first from their POV.

Just reveals the lack of options US has, as many pointed out. Total humiliation.

Yeah that thought crossed my mind. Israel need to replenish Iron Dome and US need more hardware. Vance called it a fragile truce. And their killing of negotiators previously and bombing in the middle of talks wouldn't point to a ceasefire having any real meaning.
 I suppose the only thing that could make US back down is how real the Iranian threat is to holding the Straits closed or damaging Gulf States oil, gas and electricity infrastructure for years to come.
 But even at that, it again depends on how reasonable or sane the US/Israel strategy is  .

I would top up the tanks before Friday and fill the car, there will be no backing down from either side involved
