Is Trump negotiating with himself?

[bill718]

Iranian leaders are saying "Trump is negotiating with himself" I don't want to believe them, but I've seen no evidence whatsoever that Iran is holding any kind of high (or even midlevel) talks with the US with the idea of ending this war.

With Russia now funneling arms to Iran through the black market as well as sending Iran logistical info. on American naval and troop movements, it looks like Iran is digging in for a long war.

I hope I'm wrong here, but it appears the statements from Iran's leaders make more sense than our own President.

They are certainly more consistent. trump's statements are erratic, contradictory, and unpredictable because there is no strategy and are no defined goals.

Also, if her mentions a name our "Greatest Ally" will kill them

Between Iranian loving leftists and now the use of AI to slew any info the conflict is rapidly getting like the one in Ukraine.

If the Iranians said that "the Statue of Liberty is kaput!", the leftists would swear that it was the case.

And you actually believe our worst enemy on planet Earth?

Trump is trying to keep markets, especially oil, as calm as possible. So it's very possible that he's just lying. It's his specialty.

I swear... these new people are real.

He is exercising the power of suggestion. It's not that difficult to figure out. Most people are not as smart as you, political students on discussion forums. A lot of people need to be led by a carrot on a stick.

I think trump is on shaky ground right now

The mass demonstrations in the streets have not happened and that is troubling

Trump definitely does not want to put US boots on the ground but may have to do so

You see no evidence? It would help if you open your eyes.

Trump Claims Progress in Talks to End War, Then Again Threatens Intense Attacks​

President Trump warned that if a deal was not struck, the U.S. would respond by “completely obliterating” Iranian energy infrastructure targets.

This is taking on a Dr. Strangelove feel.

Yeah. I keep saying it, congressional Republicans could end this today, the Cabinet could end this today.

This is on them.

Who are the Iranian leaders that you are believing?

 

[postman]

And you actually believe our worst enemy on planet Earth?

I thought Russia was our worst enemy on planet earth?
And Trump said he believed Vladimir Putin, over our intelligence agencies.

Response?

If Trump is trying to keep oil markets calm, he's doing a piss poor job of it.

Trump doesn't know how to use carrot and stick.
He knows how to use lawyers, tariffs and bombs.

It would help if you opened yours. Trump (technically Rubio et al) is talking to Pakistan, who may or may not be talking to Iran.
And from their public announcements, they can't even agree on the number of points are in their vastly different "plans".

It's also strange that Trump would announce his intention to commit war crimes in advance.

Now I understand why Mark Kelly put out that video with 5 others.
From the generals down to the pilots. They need to talk to a JAG officer about the legality of their target package.

Hold your breath and count to 25.
