    Iran has consistently asked for reconstruction. Big win for them if they get it.

    Iran’s position has been consistent. The US has been all over the place. Their latest move is adding the Abraham Accords into an already complex negotiation. It feels like they are throwing darts at the wall to see what might work.

    How SAD is it that Iran seems more professional and organized than the American administration? It should never be this way. People around the world are probably both fearful of this administration and laughing at it at the same time.

    Schrodinger's war with the conflict being stuck in an interposition of total US capitulation and Iran ceasing to exist.

    The US tax payers paid for all of the bombs we dropped on Iran, will pay to rebuild our arsenal ... and ... now will also pay for all of the damage that the bombs caused.

    Donald Trump is a next level genius.

    I get that this is his thing he presents himself as. I’m just saying I personally see through it a bit, and get the vibes that something isn’t right. Just don’t trust the guys motives.

    Could be wrong though, but just read through how he was producing bad faith argument after bad faith argument during 2023-25 which was pretty helpful for Trump and extremely gratuitous to Putin.

    Even if we are successful in regime change in Cuba, how could they not hate us?

    I don't feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for us for having to deal with the aftermath of their stupidity.

    The takes that I can remember (although to preface, I only casually follow his content, and casually followed some of the details for that war, these are all very loosely placed together off the top of my head generalizations from my memory) seemed like the default anti-war libertarian talking points on the Ukraine war.

    : Shouldn't be sending money to foreign countries, it's a proxy war and people are being used for the industrial war machine, people are unnecessarily dying, that the people in some of bordering regions (or areas within those regions?) were largely in favorite of separation/independence from Ukraine, NATO promised to not expand and endlessly expanded, and that western media was demonizing Russia and the overall situation as being more irrational/unhinged than what it really was.

    I don't know nearly enough about the situation to have an opinion on those general points, but I wasn't shocked to see that be his general position, it seemed like it fit in with his general positions on US conflicts - that the US doesn't involve itself for any ethical or morally righteous reasons, its for money/resources/global domination/power, and that he strongly opposes those justifications for war.

    I agree with Amiga, Glen has been a journalist, but he's also clearly a political commentator/influencer/activist.

    It's weird how Trump hasn't mentioned the Americans injured in Kuwait when he's posted 64 posts on Truth Social the past 24 hours. Same old crap, rants, cartoonish altered reality memes, and of course lots more posts about his vanity projects. His America is Back posts were of course his dream America with all white kids and people in the images.

    The part that made me laugh though was the lengths of pure narcissistic delusion he goes to when he wants all the attention. This is a doozy...

    "I understand Artists are getting “the yips” having to do with their performance on Wednesday, so I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime, and he does so without a guitar, the man who loves our Country more than anyone else, and the man who some say is the Greatest President in History (THE GOAT!), DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate “Artists,” and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President! Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. I don’t want so-called “Artists” that get paid far too much money, who aren’t happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN. So, by copy of this TRUTH, I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally on Wednesday, Washington, D.C., same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited — It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP"


    What he really meant by "I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN" is that he wants to be surrounded by butt kissing loyalists, donors with huge pockets, and folks too stupid to realize he doesn't give a sh*t about them, and buy up his overpriced Trump merchandise made abroad.

    How many more times are we going to hear this?

    Trump said today that a draft framework to shape future end-of-war talks with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz is near “finalization.”

    Trump said the pact’s terms are “largely negotiated” and would be revealed shortly. His statement followed Saturday calls with Middle Eastern leaders and a separate conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

    Bibi isn't gonna stop his bombing and displacing millions in Gaza or Lebanon, and Iran isn't going to give up it's uranium. Trump will either start bombing Iran again, or drag these so called ceasefires on forever, with random attacks never ceasing.

    Maybe we should just call it a "cease-non-firing"?

    The guy just lies so much you can't trust a word out of his mouth. His stories change from day to day, yet everyone else is fake news. LOL.

    The guy is sitting there speaking to his daughter-in-law, with her botox injected lips, who is part of the family grift herself. Notice how that narcissist sits with that stupid painting of himself in the background that he loves so much. The day his ear got a nick from shrapnel, and he claimed to be shot.:eek: Remember when MAGA folks started wearing bandages on their ears? LMAO, such weird cult behavior.

    That dude is so absolutely brainwashed and delusional I had to put him on ignore. He lives in that altered reality Trump feeds him. He sounds just like that guy BigTexxx that used to post, and I wouldn't doubt it's the same guy. He has the same arrogance and mindset.

    The MAGA losers in this thread following their cult leader were claiming Iran was on the "verge of collapse" and we're "begging" for a ceasefire. Now we've learned it's Trump that's repeatedly reached out for a peace deal cuz of the energy crisis.

    MAGATs were also claiming Iranian military was "destroyed" and had no more missiles left. We've now learned they got more than 70% of their pre war stockpile.

    MAGA literally does nothing but lie 24/7 cuz they worship Trump a habitual liar

    You know that and I know that. You can say nothing to change their mindset, which is whatever Trump tells them to believe. What I don't get is why you don't just put those dudes on ignore. They will never acknowledge anything other than what Trump says is the truth. Don't you get that by now?
