Trump extends ceasefire

[Churchill]

He's gone TACO again, the threat of Iran devastating Gulf facilities is just too much for trump to handle, so he's backed down.

This is good, we really do not need war, especially a war that Israel seeks.

It gives us time to resupply.

It gives us time to resupply.

Four hours ago your leader (sorry, Netanyahu's your real leader I know) said the country was "ready to go, raring to go" he wouldn't say that if they needed to resupply.

He also said when asked if he would extend the ceasefire, he replied: “I don’t want to do that. We don’t have that much time.”

So sorry, but I'm going with TACO.

Sounds like an open-ended extension to me, and IMHO that is unacceptable. There might be good and valid reasons to make this decision, but are we giving the Iranians time to regroup, plot and strategize their next move? I wonder if he's waiting for the Iranians to do something stupid that pisses everybody off and gives him the support to bomb the shit outta Iran.

We already bombed the shit out of Iran. What we're seeing now is the total lack of a strategy for what to do if that didn't work.

He's failed, he thought that this apparent imminnet threat of resuming bombing would scare the Iranians to fly to Pakistan and sign some dumb agreement.

They didn't do as he'd hoped and so he realized that he needs to save face and so that's what he's tried to do and imply he was doing Pakistan a favor.

He's sending clear messages of hesitancy and uncertainty to the Iranians, they know they have a lot of power here.

I wonder how Nazinyahu's going to react...

I can understand him doing that. Especially considering Pakistan has been there for us before. This is actually diplomatic IMO.

You people are beyond idiotic. You're just plain stupid. Trump has been playing this game his whole life. He isn't predictable. To a much lesser degree, Nixon played the same game. If the Bad Guys think you're crazy, all the better. But don't simply stand still. Show a moving target, move around, keep them off balance.
I realize that for the simpleton Leftist mind, that's a challenge. You all are the types who stand in front of a moving car and are surprised when it runs you over.
The Stupid is just thick here.
And instead of cheering a slowing of hostilities, you criticize Trump for creating a breather.
The mental illness is getting thicker by the day.

Well it's important (I think) to recognize that his threats have had no effect on the Iranians, they didn't attend any meeting and the ball was in trump's court to follow up on his threats, he didn't and the Iranians will not see that as a sign of strength - IMHO.

Apparently we didn't bomb them enough. Maybe Trump has valid reasons for extending the ceasefire, but maybe not. I'm not going to assume anything one way or the other, maybe he's giving other gov'ts a chance to convince Iran to back off.

Your opinion is completely and totally meaningless.

Thats fair too.
Also, he could just be lying. Pakistan will post something in an hour saying his fat ass is lying again

Maybe trump uses AI to make up short sentences that contain certain words and he just picks a random one each day.

But if that were true it would mean he was using AI years ago before it was available, so that can't be it.

No, he is not playing 4-D chess.

He is going nuts.

 

[Mac1958]

Well, he’s consistent. The world already knows that nothing he says can be believed.

Maybe he should stop trying to scare people with threats. Unfortunately, he’s too stupid to figure that out, and no one around him has the balls to tell him.

 

[Churchill]

Apparently he wants a proposal from them now, evem though already gave him one the other week.

The VP should step in, trump cannot do anything to Vance, nothing signficant anyway, Vance could try to get congress to support him in a way that trump is forced to reasses the whole stupid senseless war.

We are at war it’s just undeclared as per our Constitution. To continue it will require congressional approval.

Indeed, your country desperately needs a government not a dumb bull in a china shop. Trump is making your country look inept, confused, trapped, indecisive, something needs to be done before its too late.

This entire situation is easily settled but not in a way that will satify Mr. Genocide back in Tel Aviv. Your country should tell Nazinyahu to go **** himself.
