@Matt_Bracken48@WeTheBrandon Not quite. Point #5 doesn't address what happens after 60 days. It just says the "no toll" agreement is only for the 60 days. Trump's statement did NOT say this nonsense regarding Day 61+ was part of the agreement.
But wait till tomorrow, then he'll probably say that too.
@WeTheBrandon Just combine #2 with deportations, and you wouldn't have to have any "special programs", or sell off the public land. Considering our Epstein Class, they're likely just to go with selling off the public land... TO the Blackrocks of the world... for a pittance, of course.
@WeTheBrandon@larryelder You should rethink this, Brandon. Isn't this basically Israeli morality, just with a different country at the center of focus? This kind of thinking can be used to justify almost anything.
@DanielLDavis1 I haven't seen much correlation between taking the flu shot and avoiding the flu. Outbreaks occur regardless. And headlines can be tailored to skew perceptions of certain events, depending upon which industries fund the newspaper. The NYT is not trustworthy for pharma advice.
@imetatronink "never been very accomplished at big league war"
I agree with the ruthless treachery accusation, but as far as the Anglos and Americans NEVER having been accomplished in warfare... really?
"Never"?
You're letting some recency bias color your thinking on this one.
@geraldposner "the way a military bound by the laws of war is expected to"
Ironic that the author of this line is attacking Hezbollah and defending the IDF. Is assassinating foreign heads of state abiding by the laws of war? What about all the children maimed during the "pager incident"?
@SenRickScott "Americaโs unwavering support for Israelโs defense helps make the America First agenda possible, the U.S. stronger, and the world a safer place."
Yeah, these last few months have me feelin' stronger, safer, and First-er already!
That's some real America First stuff goin' on.
@WeTheBrandon From an amoral, pragmatic standpoint, "walking away" certainly makes sense.
And yes, it's better than bombing again.
But the right thing would be to pay reparations. And shoot, man! We're paying reparations with Iran's own money! How is this "giving" them anything?
@WeTheBrandon I understand "stupidest war."
I don't understand "stupidest ceasefire."
By your own analysis, wasn't this MOU a better option than either 1) going kinetic once again, or 2) maintaining the blockade indefinitely to see who blinks?
We lost the "stupidest war" by starting it.
@WeTheBrandon You've certainly been on a roll. You should have a slogan. Like, "Let's Go, Brandon!"
No wait, that might've been... yeah, just forget that one.
@WeTheBrandon I've read many reports from Lebanese local Christians reporting that Hezbollah has actually helped them in the past. Any corresponding reports regarding the current Syrian leadership? And which side is our government cheering on? Should we even ask these questions anymore?
@roddreher (2/2) Second, Trump is not the only one who started this foolish war. Israel fired the first shots, and probably did more than its share in convincing Trump to join in. Will you turn against the Israeli leadership as well? Calling them out publicly?
@roddreher (1/2) Two questions: First, would you still have turned against Trump if he had not lost? I seem to remember you cheerleading pretty loudly the first couple weeks when the propaganda sounded promising. But we were wrong to start the aggression no matter how it ended.
