"Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire."

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were "proceeding nicely."

What's most fucked up about this is it is strictly 100% about manipulating the markets and making money, that's it.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

There never was a deal.

Isn’t pretending to have peace talks while bombing them a war crime or something

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Didn't Japan do the same thing with the US as they were bombing Pearl Harbor?

[–] pycorax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 minutes ago

The US wasn't even in the war until pearl harbour

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Japan, champion war crimerer

Manipulating the markets again.

[–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Weirdly the markets no longer seem to care. Strait is closed? Meh, new all time high.

No clue what is going on.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

When Trump looks at it, he sees Obama's face looking back at him. Sooner or later, Change will find Trump.

sorry, The Red Right Hand, as in Nick Cave’s song

[–] grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

“Red Right Hand" is a song by the Australian rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was released as a single from their eighth studio album Let Love In (1994) on 24 October 1994 by Mute Records. An edited version was included on the single, while the longer version was included on the album. The title comes from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), in which it refers to the vengeful hand of God.

Banger of a song.

He does not wait for Tuesdays to taco.

UK bank holiday yesterday. Still a pretty important financial hub. Might explain why the snip snap is a day late.

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Monday was a US holiday as well.

Yea, he finally recognized that the words "Terms of Surrender" at the top of each page were about his end of the deal...

[–] Blurstoftimes@feddit.online 46 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Always happens when the market’s closed. Drag up the war then say it’ll end by the end of the week. Hope no one notices the Epstein files. Repeat.

[–] homes@piefed.world 21 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Because of the holiday, we might actually get a taco Wednesday

When he finally shuffles off, there'll be a worldwide holiday. Tacos will be the traditional meal, but I can't figure out what the holiday itself would be called.

[–] Lag@piefed.world 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I hope this creates historic consequences. I don't think Trump can handle taco Wednesday.

Friday: Trump close to a deal with Iran

Monday: Trump doubles down on attack of Iran

Friday: Trump close to a deal with Iran

Rinse and repeat.....

Your missing the Trump and pals buy/sell shares steps

[–] Juan_de_Silentio@lemmy.world 24 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get how some people can't see that this has been a huge get-rich scam for Trump and his cronies literally the entire time. It's absurdely blatant.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Is anything dumpy does not a get rich scam? All the orange turd does is scam people

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, there are vendettas and various rallies and phony awards to reinforce his vanity. Also random, chaotic imbecility.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 49 points 9 hours ago

His friends must've finished selling off their oil stocks.

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 29 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You mean the deal that only Trump and his henchmen said was going swimmingly but nobody else saw or heard any detail about fell through? Gee, color me surprised...

[–] IamSparticles@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

He's like a school kid that didn't finish an essay. He keeps saying he'll turn it in tomorrow. Then tries to lie and say he did turn it in but the teacher hasn't graded it yet. Then when that doesn't pan out somehow the teacher lost it. It can't possibly be his fault.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

"Dog ate my peace settlement."

Except Trump hates dogs and it's mutual.

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 4 points 6 hours ago

A lot of rich people act exactly like that, they know their lawyers will get them out of any trouble they really get into. A lot of times other folks just stop arguing with them and they get their way because they just kept the lie up in such a delusional way, it's easier to walk away.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Well not like the teacher, principal and PTA is doing anything about it.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Wonder how much I could have made betting against this deal happening, cause it was obviously not going to happen. I don't even know what it'll take to end this war/skirmish/military operation/whatever, but I know Trump ain't voluntarily ending it if it makes him look bad.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

"Deal"

There was never a deal.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 1 points 3 hours ago

The only deal there was was the one where dumpy mc turdstains made an insider trading deal.

#NotCorruptionWhenTrumpDoesIt

It really is Charlie Brown and Lucy's football at this point.
