I mean, I'm from the US and I in no way trust America right now, either, so... yeah, right there with you guys.
It's why Iran keeps making those lego AI meme videos. Iran even understands the position you just stated. They just want you and I to actually do something about it. Because our leaders are dropping bombs on their children.
Why do they even bother calling a cease fire?
They must make money off of it somehow, some sort of insider trading rug pull
Trump realizes if he doesn't bring prices down then it is possible for all 20 GOP to lose the midterm election, at which point he goes from White House to Prison.
Hell, if he can't appease his base he might even end up with another insurrection but this time against him and nobody to stop it.
Fetterman would beg to differ.
I watched a clip of the interview where he made a statement about impeachment and his complaint was that it wouldn't go anywhere, he didn't say he wouldn't vote for it.
Even the literally braindamaged Fetterman, worst of the DNC, is better than any GOP.
They'll lose anyway. They always do.
In USA, we have a tag-team political system also known as "good cop/bad cop"; both using the other to blame their many failures on. It's very important that they lose every four to eight years (at maximum) to maintain plausible deniability. There is some good-natured competition here and there, they are not the same, but they are both anti-union and pro-corporation.
Wait and see
The vote histories show a very clear line of separation of good and evil. Things are as bad as they are now because the USA has had 48 or less DNC senators for over 13 years and counting.
Do you really believe that Obama would have invaded Iraq after 9/11, that Biden would be attacking Iran, tariffing every country, and refusing to aid Ukraine? If so, you're a fool of the highest order.
Kamala Harris' plan to tax the rich would have been a huge turning point towards real progress in the USA.
don't forget trump one got rid of people who where in china looking for zoonotic viruses. Like the last one literally was pulled october or november 2019 it was nuts. also the clinton administration was well awar of al kaheida and was trying to get bush to pay attention but bush/cheney felt there was no reason to take anything the outgoing administration said seriously. It was like the start of the repulbican not doing diligence with presidential turnovers. trump moving it to both outgoing and incoming.
This and the US/Israel have consistently assassinated the leaders at negotiations. We are a rogue terrorist state.
Over the last 14 months at least one country in the world should have learned that lesson. Trump, and therefore the USA, is completely untrustworthy. It's why I don't care how much or little Carney is doing about CUSMA. We know Trump will make whatever deal he wants and then disregard it the next day if that is what he wants then. Why waste time pretending to negotiate?
It was broken less than 24 hrs after it started.
It was less than an hour...
The ceasefire included Lebanon, and I'm pretty sure Israel just kept firing thru the ceasefire start, then just lied and said it didn't include Lebanon.
trump wants this to be "his war" but the truth is Bibi just dragged him (and us) into it. And he has no interest in peace.
So trump has no power to "end" this war, the absolute best he can do is just leave and hope that eventually Iran decides to open the straite up.
But he has no negotiating power, because there's nothing he can do to stop Israel
Iran kept firing rockets as Israel after announcing the ceasefire, before Israel’s big attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
He could stop sending weapons to Israel.
He couldn't bare to do such a thing. It's operation Epstein Fury after all
trump wants this to be “his war” but the truth is Bibi just dragged him
Nobody dragged the US in. We've had civilian leadership itching to attack Iran since '79.
Netanyahu simply threw the first punch, convinced their Iron Dome made them impervious to consequences. Americans piled in fully of their own accord.
Yeah, man, that's fair. Even our best administrations have been snakes to just about every other country besides pissrael.
TBH even if they did, Israel's got the track record of respecting ceasefires on par with Russia's: they just don't.
Who trusts the US? Or Iran really?
how many times has Iran attacked another country while in the middle of negotiations?
Pretty snide move
I don't and I live here
Everyone who trusted Americans has been assassinated already
