The ceasefire announced by President Trump between Israel and Iran on June 23rd is not a genuine peace but a temporary, tactical pause in a long-term conflict. This “lull in the thunder” mirrors the aftermath of the 2020 Soleimani strike, where a de-escalation of direct attacks gave way to a continued shadow war.

Humiliation is one thing, loss of their electricity supply or their oil shipping facilities is devastation.
With no air cover, their two most valuable resources are as vulnerable as a new born goat.
“He is the leader of the free world, trying to keep an 80-year regional conflict between quasi-nuclear powers from coming to a head.”
Hope you don’t teach History... 80 years? This conflict between Persia/Babylon has been ongoing since the destruction of the Temple by Nebuchadnezzar. Twenty five hundred years now and it is ridiculous to think it can ever be stopped... Or that they even want to stop it. The goal of both sides is total annihilation and extermination of the other and this will continue until that happens.
Thank you for correcting me on “jumping the shark”. I thought it had a different meaning.
My point remains the same that it was perhaps a bit presumptuous of Pres Trump to tout the cease-fire. There was nothing buffoonish about commenting on it. By all accounts, it sounds like the ceasefire has not worked. Maybe it will.
But given it’s Iran and that they un-trustworthy, it struck me as bit early to send out a message like he did. That hardly makes me a buffoon.
So in the future, let’s have a real conversation here and not resort to cheap shots at someone who sees things a bit differently from you - but who is on the same side (pro-Tru mp) as you.
I have suspected that the lull in bombing is to give the Iranians the chance to get out in the streets and take back their country. This is the best chance they’ve had in years so hopefully they go for it.
According to Reva Palahvi the military has been contacting him to declare allegiance. Time will tell.

LOL!
He is a Putin lover and spouts Russian propaganda.
He is a shill for the scamming Martin Armstrong. Do not send money!

We’ve has a “cease fire” in Korea for decades. And the worst fighting occurs just before the cease fire begins.
A cold war is not a ceasefire.
To this point, it doesn’t seem like a war on the part of the US
It seems more like the US sent a very sophisticated commando force after the Iranians and it succeeded.
No one was deployed there and no long term, on the ground warfare strategy is apparent
I was ONLY addressing the reality of that one comment. Nothing else he has done or supports is any concern at all to me.
Unlike most here I do not discredit everything across the board from a source or member. They could be wrong 99% of the time but I give respect and credit for that 1% when they are indeed right.
Even you... I have backed up your statements many times even though they were outside the box of accepted herd mentality.

He was wrong and you were wrong fror praising him. He does not strive for truth, he fishes for suckers willing to send him money.
That is up to Israel.
We most certainly should not be going to war with Iran.
Except he is NOT wrong. He can obviously see the reality of THIS situation for what it truly is. I really wish more could do the same without the bias herd mentality firewalls and hypocrisy.
“Except he is NOT wrong.”
He is flat out wrong.
Don’t be suckered.

I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but I am suckered by no one. There is only reality or false realities. I am and always have been based in reality.
And here is a reality for you. As long as we insist that our biggest priority in life is to chest thump, grunt, and see who can piss farther than each other this reality will never be changed.
“I don’t know if you have noticed or not, but I am suckered by no one.”
The lying scamming Putin-lover suckered you into praising him¹
” That is up to Israel.

Abstinence is the best policy.
“The lying scamming Putin-lover suckered you into praising him”
Sorry, but no one can sell a salesman. So no...
There you go again with the low IQ tactics. Everything I just told you went completely over your head. You are obviously not capable of comprehending what I am sharing with you. All you care about is pissing farther than I can.
You’re an anti-American slanderer.
Protecting KGB/Iran which killed thousands of US troops in Iraq while they were engaged in standing the country back on its feet after 4 decades of KGB dictatorship and tyranny while attacking its neighbors. Sound familiar? Yes it does but you can’t admit it without outing yourself.
Now you’re defending KGB/Iran?
How can I not draw the conclusion that you support KGB regimes?
Draw away while everyone else draws that you are an eejut, the most recent spelling of profound, delusional, raving, mental basket case I have seen in writing.
