As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media.
Yeah… none of this will happen. I hate Trump and this illegal war is abhorrent. That said, if you take Iranian state media at face value I have a bridge to sell you.
All they can do is say “this is what the two liars are saying, we don’t know what will happen”
Not really… that is exactly what I meant about the capitulation of journalism. Sure they can say something like “Trump claims the sky is green; however, multiple observations, expert testimony and reality immediately confirms this claim to be false”… instead, they just quote the lie and move on.
I get that they cannot really confirm everything, but they are not even trying anymore. There is no questioning, there is no challenge… they just echo what is posted on Tweets or whatever other garbage platform and call themselves journalists
At the VERY LEAST, they should always add the disclaimer that no evidence was provided whenever parroting a known liar
Ah, yeah I didn’t think about this from a US media POV. Where I’m from, the local media reports on trump with what you said should be done, they say what trump said and then note that this is not true and theres no evidence. Because my countrys media doesn’t have access to trump, they cant really ask him questions or challenge him. So the best they can do is summarize what was said and then point out the inaccuracies.
Sadly, because Finland is a bilingual country, our state media focuses on the Finnish and Swedish reporting, the English version is not very wide in their reporting, most of their stuff is summaries and focused on Finland from a international perspective. So that is not a good source for foreigners to find out about world events. The Finnish version is more comprehensive and deals with more topics. The Norwegian medias are a bit better on the English language stuff.
Yeah, none of that is at all possible, but I have to hand it to Iran saying it. They know Trump just makes shit up, so they made some shit up. Now the US can confirm, deny, or be silent. Confirm? Win. Deny? Nobody believes the US anymore. Silence is weakness and/or confirmation.
It’s exactly a Trump negotiation tactic. Just state your wishlist as fact, let the other side sputter and deny, then call them names and walk all over them while they look weak and unreliable. Iran watched and learned.
Or do one even better and stay silent while also threatening any media outlets that report the terms. Now you get weakness, confirmation, and lying all in one package with a ribbon bow on top.
To a degree it’s already happened. US forces retreated from a lot of bases when they started getting drone attacks. So they’d have to actively move back to the Iranian border regions.
The sanctions and the rest will be a whole bigger thing that probably won’t happen in full.
My thoughts exactly. There are multiple points in the plan that I just can’t see as being tenable long-term. The readiness the US accepted it sounds like a delay to either get the stock market back up or for those Marines to get across the ocean. I doubt the ceasefire makes it the full two weeks.
I recognize that as some part of a saying indicating someone is gullible, but don’t actually know the source. I know this is off-topic, but where does this come from?

That is a huge issue today… American state media and Iran state media are basically guaranteed to be lying.
If you add the complete capitulation of journalism in general, there is not a single source of information that can actually be trusted.
I guess we MAY see what actually happened based on what reality displays
I mean how do you even report on this “truthfully”? :D

Vance and Trump’s performances at the debates were the worst I"ve ever seen. By far.
Vance crying about being fact checked.
Trump saying he has concepts of plans and rambling on about immigrants eating people’s pets.
And then they were elected. The U.S. truly is a clown nation.
Not a meme for those interested…
This piece of shit of a human actually complained about being fact checked

Well I do not know where you are from but your journalists seem to have stayed professionals!

Time to learn Finnish it seems ahhahaha
Thanks for the link, refreshing to see actual logic and plain discourse in display
Heres your first lesson: https://imgur.com/kuusi-palaa-2vhgoGN
Finland ?
Yea
They could report what’s happening on the ground first, and statements second.

Unfortunately Iran is less untrustworthy than the US at this moment, even though they’re both definitely lying
The announcement must have came via ai Lego diss track. People seem pretty enamored with those
Win the meme battle, win the war.
If the past decade has taught me anything it is that meme magic is real

I read that as Lego DLSS track and was hella confused for a minute.
I recognize that as some part of a saying indicating someone is gullible, but don’t actually know the source. I know this is off-topic, but where does this come from?
I love etymology, so I looked it up:
Per wikitionary
I’m sure the OED has the correct answer, but here’s a a source about a similar aphorism.
Yeah. Dummies hate Trump so much they blindly believe and support anybody in opposition to him.
