    To any outside observer it looks like Iran has won this war, complete with reparations from the US.

    I’m sure Israel will blow this deal up though.

      Iran won the war when they dint bend like venezuela did in the first hours of this nonsensical operation. There is nothing the USA can win out of this confict, they are just losing power everywhere…

        they underestimated that iran can FIGHT BACK, and they stockpiled tons of missiles, venezuela was practically defenseless.

        Yup, was just going to comment this. Bombs right on time to try and kill any ongoing negotiations. Israel is not a friend to the US, and trump clearly has no control over the situation. Shit, trump going into this nightmare at netanyahoo’s request is so on brand for the moron magats and trump.

      israel/trump/benjamin has a vested interest in keeping it going. it keeps netanyahu out of jail, and trump out of the epstein files in the news.

        Sadly no. But having just their government to deal with, instead of being squashed starved and slaughtered between the two is a minor improvement.

          I’m not even convinced USA and Israel won’t find a way to make them suffer. Both seem to love genocide.

      The US simply has to restrict weapons and money to Israel. Bush senior did it and froze a 10 billions loan

      I think you can make a lot of legitimate critiques of the Israeli state, but suggesting g they can’t be trusted to hold to a treaty? No. That’s just totally baseless antisemitism.

        Baseless, really? Israel have shown themselves to be a bunch of perfidious schmucks since the inception of their state 70 years ago. They can’t be trusted to hold even a ceasefire with Palestine/Lebanon/Iran and have repeatedly attacked during negotiations.

        Your cry of antisemitism has worn out at this stage through ridiculous overuse and hyperbole. The only thing Israel has shown lately is that they have no honour or morality.

          Oh so we should just base our judgement of Israel on the thing they have done literally every single time for their entire existence and ‘the protocols of the elders of zion’? But you’re not an antisemite? Fucking troll.
