    Interesting!

    I’m sorry, yes, Iran bad, USA bad, Israel bad

    But it’s hard not to smirk a little bit at how of all countries, Iran is basically holding the US hostage and forcing them to kick the biggest bully of the school in the nuts.

    Something good may come from this after all

    I already said it a month ago, but I’m pretty sure the main contention over the agreement has been getting Israel to play along.

    Trump can’t actually say that he’s on Netanyahu’s leash because that would mean his supposed authority is non-existent. Iran also knows that Israel will never agree to anything, so they naturally opted to skip straight to negotiating directly with the US and having them “pull the leash” on Israel.

    Regardless if it goes through or not, it ends in a fight between whether the US owns Israel or Israel owns the US.

      Because drumpf can’t reign in a rabid dog that is supposedly the US’s closest ally.

    I don’t think Israel will accommodate this, see “Greater Israel”.

    They want all of the land that God “gave” them, even though He’s not powerful enough to deliver it Himself for some reason.

      God works in mysterious ways, mostly it seems by delivering ammunition and enticing soldiers to shoot children for sport

    Israel and the Lebanese government have entered into their own U.S.-mediated direct negotiations, of which Hezbollah was not a part. Those talks have yielded several announced ceasefires that were never implemented on the ground.

    Gawd damn…

    The world “slam” gets thrown around a lot, but that’s one hell of a dig

      Hard to implement a ceasefire when one of the parties involved in the fighting wasn’t invited to the ceasefire talks.

    I can’t believe I am siding with theocrats but i agree with Iran.

    Now that I think about it, this war is between theocrats and their pedophile buddy versus another theocrats!
