What a petulant fucking tantrum-throwing, diaper-shitting, spoiled gods-damned toddler.
“Trying to end the conflict” and “demanding reparations from the nation who got attacked” do not equate.
It’s like dealing with the playground bully. Always a new demand.
Was coming to say similar.
Scumbag reducing all of those deaths on both sides to some sort of game he thinks he is playing. It really and truly shows that he has neither the ability to comprehend what the fuck he is actually doing in the world, nor fit to be an elected official anywhere in the world, let alone president of the United States.
Waiting for someone to figuratively and literally punch him in the face.
The US president is trying to end conflicts in Iran, Gaza and Lebanon
[citation needed]
Funny way to spell escalate.
The US president is trying to end conflicts in Iran
Is he, though?
Yes, he is. Over and over again.
You can't end them if you don't start them first.
Iran doesn't care. They aren't talking to you any more, you dumb fuck.
Iran Rules Out Talks With Trump, Says Will Wait Until His Term Ends In 2029
That's just a pressure tactic. They're not actually hilding off on talks for years
From a crisis bargaining perspective, it makes perfect sense to say but little sense to actually do
Iran doesn't need to beat the US militarily, it just needs to hold out until Trump loses politically. Saying there will be no talks adds to that pressure. Waiting 3 years leaves too much room for markets to adjust, or the US to find a strategy out of this quagmire
They'll deal when Trump is desperate enough to agree to the bulk of their terms
Edit: Since this will be an unpopular comment without providing some proof
March 23rd: Trump claims deal is close, Iran denies talks are taking place
2 days later...
March 25th: Iran rejects US deal, counters with their own
Both countries lied here, for different reasons. Trump wanted to assauge the markets, Iran wanted to project the stronger bargaining position
Saying there are no talks is a negotiating tactic Iran frequently uses, although we don't need historical precedence to know that's the case. Any rational actor would still engage in negotiations, and Iran has generally acted rationally in this war. They also like to use indirect negotiations to save face, as they did in my example
That was before Trump started violating "cease-fires" on a weekly basis to depress the stock market. There is no intelligent reason at all to have diplomatic discussions with an irrational actor that will be dead from old age or a stroke sooner rather than later.
I guess we'll see who is right in a month or two.
I guess we’ll see who is right in a month or two.
It didn't take a month or two. As part of negotiations, Iran is now also demanding the wars in Gaza and Lebanon end
During a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Tehran, Cong Peiwu, Rezaei emphasized that the strategic waterway will remain closed unless the United States changes its behavior and accepts Iran’s stipulated conditions, which have been communicated to Washington through intermediaries.
That's quite literally a not negotiation, that's an ultimatum. They aren't negotiating anything. Try again.
They will probably chicken out too, but I'll be impressed if they stick with it.
Nah, I dont think so.
They have been the calm, methodical, and rational party all the way along.
I understand that they're awful authoritarians guilty of human rights abuse, but the y do seem to mean what they say.
Why would they? They hold the cards here.
"Iran replies 'lol, lmao even'"
As we all know, when negotiations are stalled you just need to demand more from the other guy until they give in and give you everything you want. Obviously, why peace talks have failed so far is Trump simply didn't demand enough from Iran. Art of the Deal!
I thought that the "Art of the Deal" at the end was enough to make it obvious I was aiming towards sarcasm.
I guessed it was, but there are a lot of crazy people. Just consider half the voters voting for Trump in the US presidential election.
Any one of them could in theory have written something pretty close to your post.
why does anybody listen to anything this disgusting fat dipshit pedophile rapist 34-count felon says? even his followers dont read his fucking truth social posts anymore. Nobody cares.
So you attack them and then they pay you? I just don’t see that as a deal anyone would make.
Lol, Trump's only game he ever plays is Heads I win, Tails you lose
And then he sticks the quarter up his nose
The only thing Trump believes in is that everything has a dollar value, and that he wants all of it.
It has been 0 days since the last presidential stupidity.
I think we need to change the counter to hours.
We've been at 0 days since before his stint on reality TV
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was issuing the demand for war reparations in response to Iranian negotiators making similar claims for damages for the five-month war that has killed thousands and devastated Iran’s military and economy.
I almost get it. The Iranian regime really are a bunch of bastards. This is not the response of a measured diplomat and statesman, or even a realpolitik operator. It's the response of an arrogant, petulant, ignorant baby-man who's determined to take the bait every time and cede the moral high ground to an utterly inhumane regime that makes his kiddie-pool fascism look quaint. Not doing that is a big part of why the former administrations in both parties never did something as stupid as kick off open military conflict with Iran.
Iran: The orange pants shitter can go pound sand.
Trump demands about tree fiddy from Iran
Maybe he should turn the shart faucet 37 degrees
Brainy No Workie.
Nice job new Jimmy Carter (the one president trump never wants to be compared to)
he's regarded (highly)
