“Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire.”
The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely.”
Just release the Epstien Files already. He needs a distraction from how badly this war is going that he started to distract from the Epstien Files
What is to stop them from just deleting shit?
Just another chapter in American world history
Everyone’s dying and paying for America’s stupidity
The art our the deal, everyone.
Step 1: End the old deal
Step 2: Go to war
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!Just like when he got rid of NAFTA because he thought it showed he was powerful only to replace it with something functionally similar but worse. All he can do is break things and replace them with masking-tape-and-popsicle-stick versions with “Trump” written on them in crayon.
God it’s so simple people.
The Iran war cannot end until MAGA consolidates power. They are slowly doing it, but aren’t at the point yet where they can just rip the mask off.
They can’t go to full on war because they’re afraid of being chased out of office while there are still functioning democratic mechanisms. They can’t just retreat, as Israel will just step in and cause point 1 to be an issue.
This back and forth, “deal is imminent” BS is an obvious ploy to buy time, nothing more. The rest of the world is getting impatient but can’t control the situation at all.
This has 0 to do with Iran, or nuclear weapons/material, etc. This is 100% a distraction war being delicately balanced to last as long as possible without blowing up completely. As soon as MAGA feels enough of the fix is in, they’ll abandon Israel and the Middle East and leave it to go to shit.
It’s May 26. Six months at the most until no one can deny MAGA is a full blown fascist regime.
Or do you really think Trump is building a survival bunker ballroom that he’ll only use for a handful of weeks if at all. Or you think Trump is doing it “for future presidents” lol.
I disagree. The back and forth is a sign of Trump’s attention span. He genuinely means what he says when he says it, but that only lasts until something else captures his attention or his emotional state changes.
I hear that a lot, and I just feel like even though he’s a blithering idiot, he has too many people with functioning brains around him to just let him waffle like that on the big things.
That said, I wouldn’t be that surprised if it is exactly how you’re saying it is…
The people around him are a mix of whack a doos and those who benefit at the expense of others.
And the markets are up today and the price of oil down. No idea why.
Not sure if they were building in TACO bullshit last week already.
Trump goes back to bombing Iran to continue his pattern of market manipulation for the enrichment of himself and those around him*
Will the US bomb another girls school or will they settle for an orphanage this time? Gotta show the world Muslims are subhumans to you guys.
When in doubt you gotta turn to things you are comfortable with.
Funny, my Lamborghini also just imploded. So glad my wife, uhh, Ashley Graham, yeah that’s it, decided to drive the Aston Martin today.
