I mean, as much as I don’t like the Iranian government, put yourselves in their position. You have the US and Israel literally leveling the equivalent of Balfour or the White House and taking out other government officials in a decapitation strike that failed, but killed off all of the moderates. The government is then replaced by hardliners who see this attack as existential. You have little to lose at this point, so you go for broke.

Since the US seems unwilling to put boots on the ground, cannot form a coherent reason for any of this and is lead by a man who is unable to accept that he can commit errors, it degrades into a war of attrition and, in the case of Trump, influence peddling since it is clear that Israel and the Saudis would like to see Iran wiped off the map and all Trump cares about is how he can internalize it as yet another reason why he is a victim and entitled to the Nobel Peace Prize.

What a complete moron.

What people say in either direction is not a reflection of what happens, it's what they want to say, and have some cohort believe happened.

This is for domestic consumption. As will the WH reports be, facing the US domestic audience.

> "Under this plan, the U.S. has committed to force Israel to ressurrect Ali Khamenei and to perform limb reattachment surgery on Mojtaba Khamenei in Israeli hospital free of charge."

Market manipulation and the media largely forgetting about a certain set of files that reference many people in powerful positions.

Missiles are still flying so it’s hard to say who has really agreed to what.

Fox News is still singing in chorus about the billion dollars payment to Iran by Obama.

It’s a bizarre situation in that US elections have such a huge impact on a world that has no say.
