Have you ever once negotiated anything in your life? You don't sit down with your boss and say "Listen pal, I want a raise. If you say no, I will continue to obediently do my job and you will face no repercussions."
A sudden attack followed by an immediate ceasefire declaration is not the behaviour of a man of conviction. It does not make me believe that Trump is in it for the long haul. Do you?

Besides, If the Ayatollah is a little devil and Iran a terror state, why would we shake his hand?

If Iran was (it isn't) an honourable rational state that would never use it's capabilities for malice, why attack it?

But lastly: If Iran can not be trusted to keep it's word at all, why even make an entirely worthless deal?

As things are, the Iranian leadership is not rational. You think images of explosions in Tehran will do anything other than strengthen their resolve in opposing "the west"?

You can't make deals with devils and expect it to go well.
Either Iran had a scheme that urgently needed to be stopped, or Iran can be trusted to keep their word. But both? At the same time?
 
The United States may not be out of the woods just yet when it comes to Israel and Iran:

Katz instructs IDF to ‘respond forcefully’ after Iran breaks ceasefire with missile attack​

Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has instructed the IDF to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.”

Two ballistic missiles were fired from Iran at Israel after a ceasefire was supposed to take effect. Both were intercepted.

Lawmakers call for retaliation after Iran breaks ceasefire with missile attack on Israel​

Lawmakers call for retaliation against Tehran after Iran violated the newly announced ceasefire, launching a ballistic missile at northern Israel.

“Tehran will tremble,” tweets far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet.

“Quiet will be answered with quiet, missiles will be answered with…?” tweets Otzma Yehudit lawmaker Limor Son Har-Melech.

“Three and a half hours after the US president announced a ceasefire, there is shooting from Iran toward northern Israel. We must not absorb it, we must not ignore it, we have to respond immediately,” posts opposition party Yisrael Beytenu chairman Avigdor Liberman.

“Any violation of [Iran’s] will be met with an appropriate response,” declares lawmaker Tali Gotliv, while her fellow Likud MK Avichai Boaron calls for strikes, “with full force,” against symbols of the Iranian regime.
 
The United States may not be out of the woods just yet when it comes to Israel and Iran:
That’s just normal Jew kevetching because they didn’t rape you in a deal it’s how you know you got as fair of a deal as you could with one Iran got their last word In the proverbial children’s nuh uh sand box fight.
 
Seems to be a lot of talk about retaliation in Israel right now. Hostilities may resume over the two intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles.
Iran I guess couldn't do it? Wtf. I take back my take back on saying nuke them. Nuke em if they continue this, hard. They have it laid out easy.

Really though, whoever broke this cease fire even a second after it was 'officially in place' needs to be wrecked, don't care which side did it first.

If it's broken at all, news is sketchy as of now.
 
I'm always willing to adjust to events that actually happen. I just don't adjust to hysterical hallucinations. By the way, how's Biden's cure for cancer going? Should be all wrapped up now?
That "war machine" can't stop on a dime usually, but if they're still going at it Trump's not gonna be playing nice I bet. I want this crap to end as much as anyone outside of the zone I bet, and I really want this childish tit for tat stuff to stop.
 
xposted from an imageboard after everyone laughed over this in gen chat yesterday. Place your bets now on how long the ceasefire lasts!

This is more of Ted’s ignorance about Iran lmao. Iran has state-sanctioned trannies to facilitate a religiously acceptable homosexuality.
I wonder how they feel about trannies that troon out for the sake of trooning out and gain access to women only spaces.
