@Justifiably_Me@PeterRHann1 April 9th, 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant. The legal end was August 1866, after Jefferson Davis (5/65) was captured; Pres. Johnson declared the war over. Texas was the last territory where Union forces did not have a presence to enforce US law.
Here’s what a deal negotiated from a position of strength looks like:
Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. lifts its naval blockade.
Iran dismantles its nuclear program.
The U.S. provides phased sanctions relief.
Iran stops funding and arming its proxy network.
The U.S. provides additional sanctions relief.
Iran abandons its long range missile program.
The U.S. provides additional sanctions relief.
Iran ends its systematic human rights abuses and opens the country to meaningful reform.
The U.S. and its allies support economic reconstruction and investment.
Hezbollah withdraws from southern Lebanon and disarms.
Israel fully withdraws from Lebanon.
Everything is based on performance.
No upfront rewards. Iran acts first. The benefits come after.
Embarrassing moment for Trump, who is the only one completely oblivious to a group photo being taken. An unintentionally perfect snapshot of his presidency.
⚡️ Ukraine has developed the DART missile, which is launched from stratospheric aerostats and is resistant to the effects of Russian electronic warfare systems, reports "Military".
After launch, the missile is guided by a navigation system, but at an altitude of about 6 km, the navigation is turned off, a solid-fuel engine is turned on, and DART continues its flight to the target without changing course, which makes it impossible for electronic warfare systems to affect it.
In the near future, DART is expected to undergo codification in the Ministry of Defense. In the future, based on it, they also plan to create a ballistic missile and a "surface-to-air" class missile.

LOL the White House's top talking point is "American families no longer have to fear a nuclear armed iran." Yes people in Shreveport were panicked about getting nuked by Iran before this dumbass war started and made everything more expensive for them.
He sent 13 service members to their deaths over “not very valuable stuff”?
168 Iranian school girls.
Thousands of civilians killed.
Our bases badly damaged.
Stockpiles depleted.
$80 billion price tag.
$6 gas.
For “not very valuable stuff”?
@samstein@DanielBShapiro The piece guesses at what's in the MOU; most importantly, it doesn't address the mission of the US Navy and its allies post-WWII: freedom of navigation of the seas. This potential agreement to talk has global implications beyond the ME, including in the South China Sea. CHAOS.
