does anyone actually buy this bullshit propaganda? the admin is arm-to-arm with Israel in everything they're doing. If Israel violates the supposed ceasefire it's because it was planned/allowed by the US.
it's the same bullshit Biden did for an entire year while Israel launched a campaign of genocide against Gaza. they'd leak fake memos about how "biden is upset" and "biden is mad at Netanyahu" while signing off to all of it.
Big agree, way too many people are far too credulous about this. The US didn't move a shitton of military assets to the Middle East because Israel is "out of control"
yep. even the bullshit ceasefire. it's only to give Israel time to rearm it's various iron dome defense systems. once rearmed/resupplied they're going right back to bombing iran while trump pretends to be mad about it
He’s a narcissist. Not in the vibes sense that most people use it, but in the clinical sense. They’ll turn on their flying monkeys at the drop of a hat. It doesn’t mean the US has split from Israel, but this isn’t the fake Brandon anger.
Brandon was covering himself in Crisco listening to “Subhuman” by Throbbing Gristle on repeat, pretending to be pissed off. Trump is fuming. He’ll get over it.
idk. i generally disagree. trump is fuming in public because he has to convince his base he's the same "no new wars" president they voted for. meanwhile he both filled his admin up with iran war hawks and is regularly getting briefed / signing off on everything Israel is doing
I was kinda hoping you’d disagree with my song or lube choice. Does nobody care what Biden was doing while pretending to be pissed off?
Obviously, I don’t know, either, but I do know that when a narcissist wants something to go a certain way and it doesn’t, they lose it. They’ll still do pretty much everything Israel wants, but I don’t think Trump is pretending to be upset.
There has never been a person, let alone a president, who better encapsulates what it is to be an American/Boomer lmao

All-caps boomerposting is basically our Mandarin
Radlibs would eat me for saying that because they're enjoying some kind of bs "I told you so" despite still having fits over even the slightest criticism of Ukraini and Zelensky (despite their darling being openly a rabid zionist who said he wants to turn Ukraine to the Eastern European Israel and transform the country into a US aligned arms manufacturing haven) but it genuinely doesn't seem like Trump fully wanted direct involvement.
Libs just love piling up shit on hated figures without any regard for accuracy. Trump is a NY jetset high lifestyle irreligious libertarian who gets his most massive ego boosts from doing stuff that show off his swag, hustling, deal making skills i.e. showing off his CEO smarts. He's got company boss "you're fired" and "I'm the boss and I get to tell you what to do" authoritarianism, not the classic yankee army loving gung ho militarist authoritarianism type. His entire world view is about business and sees foreign policy and diplomacy more like deals and personal discussions with other country CEOs and doesn't have a single clue about impersonal socioeconomic forces. It's not super unrealistic specifically for him because he can go directly talk with the heads of industry and do direct dealings with the other bougies, he doesn't find it scandalous at all because he doesn't seem to think he's a politician now.
So I don't think he really wanted to get involved, and even as an AIPAC creature I don't think he sees the existence of Israel as some kind of ideological or religious priority, it's all about how much it costs for him. But he definitely doesn't seem to be able to overcome his ego if it gets bruised, or when he gets duped by Bibi or when he feels he has to follow orders etc. More like "don't make me look like a powerless loser and I'll just do this one showoffish strike and we're done".
The attack on Fordow probably didn't even break windows, he absolutely knew it would be ineffective and it seems more like theatre and like "okay I did a strike, it's the best we can do, now stfu already Bibi because going any harder at it will make it a regional war and we can't afford that and supplying Israel at the same time, pick one". And just did that to get out of the pressure.
His original plan was almost definitely based on bs intel from Israel and neo-interventionist zionist goons he has around him all supposedly expecting Iran would fold right away, saw the trap, couldn't get out due to internal politics so pick a theatrical action that (unverified) preannounced to Iran to make sure the retaliation would also be symbolical and won't be pressured to escalate just to save face.
Now he's overselling the strike while lowkey desperately asking for ceasefire but in a grandiose grandstanding way to hide that any further involvement in the region would get the US armed forces constantly removedslapped in a PR nightmare, with terrible logistics, risking completely losing both Iraq and Jordan to the eastern bloc etc.
It's not that Trump cares about peace or something, he cares about getting clean, fast wins by coming up with some business style grift order sent to underlings and any further escalation is not going to be clean, fast or a win. I don't know why libs are so damn blind, his whole vibe in general and about this specifically is transparent as hell.
and all Republican dumbfucks can die anytime now
Okay let's assume that the republican dumbfucks all get the Thanos and the US is suddenly eternally ruled by the "we came, we saw, he died haha" dembots. Percentage of change in American foreign policy? Absolutely zero.
It's just that Bush started two big, full blown wars instead of Clintonite "humanitarian interventions" with bombs and the Dems were able to temporarily play the performative anti-war card but Obama turned that card to toilet paper especially with Libya.
It is good that he signed it so people will know it is him who said it.
That reminds me of that one person who signed all their posts

I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had... vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done.
