International Israel - Iran Conflict: PEACE DEAL CONFIRMED

[Rob Battisti]

Yeah, it's just funny after starting and backing out of a trade war with China

Trump is a bitch through and through.

RE: Being worried about Iranian infiltrators in the US, if any of the US' enemies have learned anything over the last few decades, it should be that attacking American civilians, particularly on the homeland, is a terrible idea. That merely galvanizes the US populace against whoever conducted the attack and allows the US war machine to operate with nigh impunity and for the propaganda to be met with much less skepticism. You have to expose the regime, the war machine, act strategically and defensively, NOT conduct terrorism against people who likely to oppose your destruction/invasion and their own government's foreign policy.

If this makes sense to me then surely Iranian leadership knows this. You go Art of War, you don't take on a more powerful, aggressive foe who is looking for a fight head on and you don't do things to turn their citizens against you. The American public played a big part in breaking the back of the Vietnam War. The US needs to be on guard for terrorism obviously - we piss off a lot of people - but I think any state would be smart enough to oppose us more like China does, in soft, forward thinking ways and not directly militarily nor with terrorism.

The Iranian regime seems to understand this given their measured responses to US and Israeli aggression. The hubris and arrogance of US leadership may be playing into their hands. We've been largely untouchable but as time drags on I don't think that will last, for a number of reasons. I think American hegemony has already begun breaking down.

The internet also helps though as we can see, there are people who will find excuses for anything based on ideology, and others who simply don't pay attention or have much historical knowledge but have strong opinions regardless. Still others who don't want to acknowledge that yes, the Democrats over the decades have helped set the framework for the GOP and someone like Trump to attain power, he didn't materialize out of another dimension and he didn't create the tools at his disposal.

They definitely won’t attack now once they learn the head of counter terrorism is a 22 year old dude whose work experience includes cutting grass and bagging groceries. Bag Boys are notoriously tough guys.

Looks like Bibi has another mission for Trump:

Trump, the smartest, the greatest, the most fantastic, the best, the most orangest president of all time.

I guess Dementia is now a vibe!

This is pretty pathetic

U.S. calls on China to prevent Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz and disrupting global oil flows

Iran's foreign minister warned earlier Sunday that the Islamic Republic "reserves all options to defend its sovereignty" after U.S. airstrikes.

Apparently closure of the strait would more negatively impact China than America so it’s not absurd to involve them. However, everyone should fill up their tanks ASAP.

Selective closure bro. They can just block all the Western ships and let the Chinese, Indian, and Russian ones go through. Welcome to oil embargo 2.0.

How much Trump Meme Coin do you have to buy to get Trump to bomb the country of your choice?
I wonder what Bibi has on Trump when Bibi asks Trump to jump , Trump asks how high, Bibi.

When gas is $7 a gallon are the trumpers gonna put "i did this" stickers of Trump on the pumps like they did with biden?

 

[Spam On Rye]

Nope. Just you dumbasses.

What do you mean "you dumbasses?" You don't seem to be responding to my post. Did you send to wrong poster?

 

[Rob Battisti]

Aside from playing perpetual bottom to Israel, what is Americas long term foreign strategy?

I mean, obviously Trump doesn’t have one — but what should it be?

Trust me, Retail work is excellent preparation for a career in counter-terrorism, intelligence work etc.

After six months dealing with customers, you lose any fear of Hell, and you hate every living thing on the planet.

Make Israel greater

 

[nostradumbass]

You've posted around at least 10 times that the IAEA reported they were weeks away from a bomb more than a month ago. "What could that possibly mean?"

Apparently it meant that they still hadn't made a bomb.

So your strategy is to wait until they've already finished making usable nukes and icbms and then we can act once they're nuclear armed?

 

[White Whale]

The United States of America would have done this regardless of who is in office. AIPAC owns both parties.

IIRC Trump took $300 million from Miriam Adelson and her late husband, plus his actions in his first time were very pro-Israel

Edit: I didn't realiz the I was for Iran, I was thinking Israel

I actually meant Israel, so you were correct.

True, he was always pro-Israel, but this policy of escalation with Iran is deeply unpopular even by many of his voters.

This is not just something symbolic like moving the embassy, or monetary support, this is a war with a powerful country.

IMO more cooperation and soft power, kinda like China (not that they're perfect by any means but their foreign policy is much more forward thinking and less hostile and gangster than ours). Avoid wars. Elevate and uplift every nation possible and encourage independence and unity. Uphold the ideals we claim to care about. Be the "global force for good". Walk softly but carry a big stick instead of making deals "they can't refuse". Abide by international law. This will, in the long term, mean a multipolar world.

Helping stabilize and build infrastructure in other countries doesn't just benefit us and the world from making friends, it has positive downstream effects from a humanitarian, moral and economic perspective. We need a long term vision for human rights and world peace. It can be hard to calculate the benefits but generally a "rising tide lifts all boats." Unfortunately, this is largely antithetical to our present hyper Capitalist model which prioritizes shareholder value and short term thinking, though I think if the financial elites had a shred of sense they would see the folly of their endless greed, but I digress.

Make Israel greater

wow pretty insane to name all those countries. The timing couldn't be more right considering Syria was the last one to fall.

Insane shit we are witnessing. I pray my cynicism is misguided and I'm wrong about this being another neocon for profit war.
