Yup, was just going to comment this. Bombs right on time to try and kill any ongoing negotiations. Israel is not a friend to the US, and trump clearly has no control over the situation. Shit, trump going into this nightmare at netanyahoo's request is so on brand for the moron magats and trump.

they underestimated that iran can FIGHT BACK, and they stockpiled tons of missiles, venezuela was practically defenseless.

Sadly no. But having just their government to deal with, instead of being squashed starved and slaughtered between the two is a minor improvement.

No, the people of Iran are between a rock and a hard place.

But I think people can maintain a cause in defence of themselves longer than the US can maintain their offensive.

The US just hit critically low oil levels where it’s impossible to continue depleting them. They’ve reached low enough levels using pipelines are threatened by being able to maintain pressure.

The US now has to decide if they want to lose internal oil transport and shut down infrastructure. All right before midterms.

who started and is continue this conflict: USA and israel, just to keep epstein out of the news. iran is no saint, but they arnt the aggressors in this conflict.

I would guess Iran is holding out to cripple the Israelis. The fact the Zios aren't just taking what they've won and going home until next time is evidence they're jot just evil, they're all fucking insane. Letting this go on once the conquest of Lebanon slows down is so fucking stupid.

Are Americans happy they've been put in a position their leadership has to pay either instead of your hospitals? or school funding? or, god forbid, housing and food security for your multitudes of poor?

Why doesn't Iran attack KSA, apart from a few US bases? I thought they were the main rival in the region, and given the extent that the US and Israel have already been attacking them I don't see much risk of escalation

You guessed right my friend. If I was the supreme leader, I’d definitely try and hit at Trump’s political influence. A lame duck president would probably ensure a more lasting peace.

That is a wild thought. I saw something that said the top ten percent of the economy is the only sector of the economy showing any movement. Essentially that 90% of Americans have zero economic power.

Your observation kinda lines up with that. It would also make "I love the inflation" make sense. The capital class is doing good.

You don't benefit from economic growth, but you damn sure will get fired if we have another once in a life time recession. Don't worry though, bailouts for the brave companies firings workers.

Haha no no, you don't understand. When there is growth the profits are privatized; when there is a collapse, the losses are socialized.

Nah you'll just get more coal

Trump doesn't give a shit about the killing, what he want is for the oil prices to go down again.
But he can only achieve that by accepting that he lost, and that's the part he doesn't like.
For Trump it's always about winning, he can't stand to look like a loser. If he can make it look like a win, and get the oil prices down, then he will accept a deal. But it's very hard to see what such a deal could be?

No, they're cool with it, but they have to have a story that everyone sticks to, no matter how outlandish.

For example:

We need everyone to verify their age and identity on the Internet, so that children will never learn what human genitalia look like, NOT because they want to track our every move, and identify every single statement we post on the Internet.

Don't be so sure. Trump has tipped the US's hand and shown them to be weak as piss. It's going to be pretty hard to walk back from here now since Trump has ruined all the soft power the US had around the world, and now we all know the military aren't up to the task either the US will no longer hold a position of power at the negotiating table. Trump has completely and utterly fucked the US globally.

Can you imagine Iran embarrassing the US weekly in the 1970s? They wouldn't have dared. But now most of the world is laughing with them as we watch Trump shart himself to death.

Art of the deal. Fucking idiot.

It does largely appear to be their ballgame, but the US seems quite content to utterly collapse states in the Middle East lately.
