Ace Combat remains the most effective propaganda tool for convincing me we need to fund more fighter jets

Only one partner in the relationship is a superpower.

If Jerusalem wants to go its own way, so be it.

But they should be told, forcefully, they'll be taking that path alone.

"Trump currently owns this failed war, but if the Democrats help torpedo the MOU and war resumes, then they will co-own the next war. Trump’s disaster will become theirs as well."

This is the mentality that has most hurt America since the Cold War ended.

Alliances and hostilities are inherently temporary. What matters, more than anything, is what advances America's national interests.

George Washington told France to go pound sand when they wanted us to join a war after the Revolution, because it would have undermined our nation's security.

The same is true today. It should be true with every relationship abroad.

Make the choices that are good for our nation.

Here's a novel idea: stop bullying our ally and cozying up to our enemy.

The most perverse talking point right now is that Congress shouldn’t get a say on going to war but gets to veto peace.

America's foreign policy now carries 55 to 60 security commitments. @StimsonCenter's Christopher Preble on how we got here, and why realism and restraint offer a better path. 🧵

Read @JohnVickFL’s newest statement on the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

national average price of gasoline $3.96/gal and should head toward $3.70/gal now that a deal with Iran has been signed- and seeing movements resume in the Strait. good news for motorists. diesel will soon fall below $5/gal as well.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Le Président Trump a signé ce soir à Versailles l’accord entre l’Iran et les États-Unis.

Cet accord ouvre la voie à une paix durable et permet la réouverture du détroit d’Ormuz.

C’est un pas important dans la bonne direction pour nos compatriotes qui permettra d’obtenir bientôt une baisse des prix de l’énergie.

The Middle East sucks the life out of American presidencies, but every administration believes it will be different.

Not very smart. Thunder runs down major thoroughfares are how the Russians expected to take Kiev. These will be picked apart and disconnected from supply lines before long

The U.S. and Iran are set to sign a peace deal to end the war.

Read CVA’s statement.

[Robert Clarke 🥃🚬 @ClarkeDynamics]

Wow, it's almost like Israel shouldn't have been pouring money into FARA lobbyists to push for a war in the first place.

It's almost like the President shouldn't have started the war in the first place.

It's almost like this whole thing was fucking retarded.

Netanyahu has decided to accept the Iranian deal. Security officials are despondent and see it as a disaster. Ynet brings some high level quotes from them:

1) A senior Israeli official said "Nobody is happy with this. We understand it is not good for us, and that it harms Israeli interests. What is troubling is that Israel cannot influence it. Its voice is not being heard."

2) The anger at Trump is palpable.: "Trump screwed us, we took the hit. We're no longer in the loop and can't really influence anything."

3) Israelis fear Iran will be economically revived: "They've blown money on the Iranians, who are getting everything they want. They'll build a missile corps, and we'll have to pour money into interceptors." Israel sees oil revenue flowing back into the exact capabilities the war was meant to degrade.

4) They don't believe a deal will adequately deal with the nuclear issue: "The real test of the deal is removing the uranium and destroying it. If that doesn't happen, the sense of a bad deal will turn into something more concrete."

5) They fear this will embolden Iran: "Iran has smelled that it can achieve things by force, and it will use that against its neighbors and against us."

6) The deepest worry is not military. It is perception. After months of direct fire, Iran is seen across the region as the side that took the pressure and did not fold: "the regional working assumption will be that it was signed under Iranian pressure and American capitulation, rather than the reverse."

Israel is concerned that Iran will be stronger, the US will be weaker and that the future for it will be bleak in the region. This war has been a disaster for Israel.

WWII ended in military victories over Italy, Germany, and Japan and the Allies forcing their unconditional surrender.

Actually the show is about how fun it is to get drunk on the job and smoke cigs inside

[Ali Vaez @AliVaez]

POTUS is about to realize that the people who cheered him on loudest in starting this war will assail him, his team, the mediators and everyone else for getting a deal, whatever its terms, to end it.

Because that's much easier than admitting that their schemes have been folly.

[Concerned Veterans for America @ConcernedVets]

CVA strongly cautions against possible deployment of U.S. troops to seize control over Kharg Island or any Iranian territory. The United States should work to end the war with Iran, not double down on a conflict that large majorities of the American people oppose.

[Robert Malley @Rob_Malley]

If they truly believe this, it has all the hallmarks of someone despairing at not getting his way, flailing, lashing out, mistaking military escalation for leverage, only to discover yet again that pressure won’t alter Iran’s stance ...
