Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”
and here begins the “second” 60 day congressionally unapproved war with iran.
Peace talks are progressing in the typical Israeli fashion I see
Huh. And here’s me thinking a cease fire means you ceased firing.
No, these are just ‘love taps’
but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire
What in the fuck? When Iran retaliates, are these people gonna cry that Iran broke the ceasefire?
This is so childish.
They are going to say that literally nothing is breaking the cease fire, unless Iran does something large enough to rile up the US population.
The moment the ceasefire is “broken” they need to go before congress and get their stamp of approval on the war. But so long as they are in a ceasefire, they don’t have to do that.
So they are going to continue with the war, but constantly claim that their acts of war aren’t breaking the cease fire, so they still aren’t at war, so they still don’t need congress.
Straight from Russian playbook. Just straight up lie in front of the whole world. Your fanatics will believe you anyways and the doubters won’t know who to trust.
Where are those Iraqi nukes, George?
So, is the ceasefire over, or are we just doing an Israel-style ceasefire?
You cease, we fire
Toddler logic:
Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.
People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.
He doesn’t want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.
Don’t forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it’s his bread and butter and he’s running this show.
The war won’t end while trump is in office.
I know Bibi is running the country lika a dictator, but has he really cancelled any elections? As far as I can tell, since 2000 there have been Knesset elections 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 (again), 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the next one expected in October this year.
Doesn’t sound like there have been any cancellations, considering the members serve four-year terms, however, there have been plenty of early elections.
Can you clarify what you meant by him having cancelled Israeli elections?
They don’t have regular elections, they can happen as often as every year.
Bibi has cancelled due to “war” since 2022, and while there is an election scheduled this year, that has been true for every year since 2022 as well.
Edit:
And the reason they happened twice in 19, then three years in a row is because a lot of Israel blames Bibi for all of this…
Very very slim wins for his parties and his alliance keeps fracturing. If he wasn’t canceling elections,the wouldn’t be in charge.
And as soon as he’s not in charge, his corruption trial starts and he’s clearly guilty. Like there’s a shit ton of evidence, he will be found guilty.
It’s a lot more fucked up than people think, there’s a lot of propaganda from all sides that want to make it seem like Bibi has the support of every Israeli, when it’s more like America and trump.
Right, so if I understand correctly the Knesset has voted to have an early election several times since 2022, but Bibi has vetoed those decisions to stay in power?
Still, I’d be more hopeful this year since the four years are up and I’d assume it’s not as easy to cancel a mandatory election than an early election. At least I hope so.
I expect a false flag attack, blamed on Iran, to happen right before the midterms
Faux news:
Iran just shit trump’s pants!
He’s also likely hit the Alzheimer’s stage of his life. Combine his general impulsivity with the characteristic impulsivity of Alzheimer’s. Now add in his likely cluster B personality disorder. Anything can happen at any time.
Reason may not be involved at all.
Someone gift him a luger with ammo and he’ll fix the problem himself.
So our best hope for mankind’s future is…McDonald’s?
apparently because Americans seem OK to bring the world to ruin before attempting to organize a general strike or protest on a week day
Since Iran retaliated I would say the cease fire is done
The ceasefire was done when the us attacked iran
Once Iran reports on it then I might start to believe it.
I can’t wait for Iran to release another series of satellite pics of even more expensive pedophile assets being turned into smoking craters.
This is a new operation: ’ Giant Clusterfuck’
At some point, words still need to mean SOMETHING so at least a transfer of information happens. At this rate, by next year they’ll be down to pointing and grunting.
Y’all are missing the point of saying it’s not a resumption. Of course it is. But they have to lie. If they admit they’re resuming, it means they’re in violation of the war powers act by going past 60 days. I expect the next lie will be that actually, this is a totally new military operation and the clock has reset.
Nobody is forced to accept lies
Neat thing about the war powers act is all the president has to do is tell Congress they need 30 more days to “wind-down” operations. Then they get 30 free more days to do whatever
Not a restarting of the war? LMAO this administration thinks we are STUPID.
I mean you guys did vote him in
Twice.
TWICEThe first time was moronic, but the second is unforgivable. Just unforgivable.
@lemmy.ca . The user you replied to seems to be canadian.
Haven’t they been annexed? /s
Well, a large percentage of the US is stupid.
Most Americans can’t read at a 12th grade level.
Most humans can’t read at a 12th grade level.
Yeah but we’re talking about America where education through the 12th grade is compulsory. By virtue of passing every American with a high school education should be capable of analyzing and consuming media at a pre-collegiate level. More than half can’t do it at even a sixth grade level. Half of Americans are functionally illiterate. Just look at any reddit thread or any America centric fediverse thread.
Tbh our country re-elected him so I can see why they’d get that impression
Very misleading title… US responded to attacks…
Why do you think Iran attacked? Who started the war? Also a civilian city is not a valid target for an attack. It’s a war crime.
When people say US is fucked, the large part of it is because of people like you.
US says it responded to attacks.
I mean Iran has been confirming doing attacks and don’t regard US assets as safe so not a stretch
After the US attacked
Yes?
The argument I am making is that Iran shooting at the US is not a BS claim. Not “Iran has not justification or reason to shoot at the US.”
I mistakenly reply to you instead of the person claiming Iran attacked first
