How do we live our lives when the president is a psychopath who openly threatens genocide?

World Class Psycho.

Trump 101 :

When a venture fails, the narrative is shifted so that the focus isn't on the loss, but on the "deal" made during the exit or the "lesson" learned for the next move.  Then you blame it on someone else.

How we got here: Inside Pakistan’s backchannel diplomacy that led to the US-Iran ceasefire

Diplomacy does its best work when no one is looking. In calls that stretch for hours, in proposals dismissed publicly but refined privately, in capitals that deny mediation even as they pass messages.

U.S. Must Choose Between Ceasefire or Continuing War via Israel

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, said that the ceasefire terms between his country and the United States are clear and explicit.  Araghchi added that the U.S. must choose between a ceasefire or continuing the war “via Israel,” because, according to him, “it cannot have both.”

That lasted long. NOT! lol.

I didn't think Netanyahoo would be able to keep his gunz holstered very long.

On the upside, the jawboning got the price of oil below $100 for a day and 2 tankers got thru!

RE

Netanyahoo has Trump bent over.  Nothing stopped for Israel.  Israel wants America to fight it's war.

 

Scene: Oval Office. TRUMP sits behind the Resolute Desk, phone on speaker. BIBI's voice, calm and amused.

BIBI: So just to be clear — you threatened to wipe Iran off the map. Big words. Very big. Then your advisors told you it would end your political career. So you accepted their ceasefire terms. Their terms, Donald.

TRUMP (waving hand, not at phone): Tremendous ceasefire. Best ceasefire anyone's ever seen. Iran blinked. Ask anyone. They were begging. Total begging.

BIBI: They got everything they wanted. You got nothing. Except photo ops.  Lots of them.

TRUMP: I got great ratings. Biggest ratings. Iran knows who's boss.

BIBI: Sure. Anyway — we're continuing in Lebanon. Hezbollah still exists. So we're leveling a few more villages. Hundreds dead so far. Violates the ceasefire, but I don't care. We are only killing animals.

TRUMP (frowning slightly, then brightening): That's your thing. Your Bibi thing. I don't get involved in the details. The hotels on the strip will be grand. Lots of gold everywhere.

BIBI: No, you don't. But the world will say you're the guarantor of this ceasefire. And we're breaking it. That makes you my bitch.  Don't forget.

TRUMP (interrupting): It makes me a very stable genius who gave Israel incredible flexibility. Unprecedented flexibility. Nobody's ever seen flexibility like this.

BIBI: That's one word for it. The press is using a different word. Starts with "c."

(Long pause. TRUMP shifts in his chair.)

TRUMP (quietly, to no one): They're saying that again.

BIBI: It's true, Donald. You threaten. You bluster. You pose for the cameras. Then I do what I want, and you tell the world how beautiful it is. Now send more bombs. We're low on the ones that go through concrete. The big strong ones.  You know you like it.

TRUMP (perking up): The bunker busters? Best bombs. Beautiful bombs. I'll get some from Japan for you. But you gotta say I was tough. Made you promise me they will be used for peace.

BIBI: You're the toughest cuck I've ever seen.

TRUMP (like an F-15 streaking high in a desert sky, Bibi's jab goes over his head): Thank you. Very nice. Very strong.

(BIBI hangs up. TRUMP looks at the phone, then at an aide who stands stiffly near by.)

TRUMP: He loves me. You heard all that, right? Total respect.

AIDE (deadpan): Yes, Mr. President.

TRUMP: Get Canada on the phone. Their high and mighty asses are complaining about the noise again.

Lying bitch.
 
Trump can't tell Bibi to keep it in his pants.  This is embarrassing.  America the submissive, does not know a safe word to make this rough nightmare stop.  All America does is tell the bitch to lie.  Nobody must see the mess behind the door.


Trump thinks he's the one holding the leash, but the only thing he's actually holding is the bag while Bibi takes the house, the car, and America's dignity on the run.  Leaving Trump in a golden collar.

Being as American taxpayers fund this project, can I please have a brick with my name on one of the rebuilt bridges when the new greater Israel rebuilds the Litani River bridges they blew up into the new territory.

Rich donors to hospitals and civic projects in America can get their names on bricks to build 'donor' walls, brick paths and such as part of the final project.  American taxpayers should get the same perks for building the greater Israel.  Seems only fair.

As silent partners in Levantine civil engineering we deserve recognition.

Long and fairly complete analysis of the options and difficulties involved in reopening Hormuz.  Upshot-it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.  Price wise, thusfar the price rise has been mostly speculative, actual shortage of product only exists in a few places.  In roughly a month, stockpiles will be depleted and physical shortage will start a bidding war.  The sky's the limit there and demand destruction will begin in earnest.  People will start dying in the poor countries of the world.  The real effects of Peak Oil will finally start setting in.

Well, who does this most affect besides Iran?  The Chinese.  So what happens if the Chinese send some boats to escort the tankers through the Straight?  Will the FSoA boats fire at the Chinese boats?

Jesus Fuckng Christ. There is no point trying to find pretzel 🥨 logic that can explain what Trumolini is doing.

As crazy as wiping out a civilization this is.





Trump acts like a toddler again.  If I can't have the oil, nobody can.  Iran was blockading Hormuz using missiles and drones.  Soooo.... Trump is going to do the same thing using ships.  Save Iran the effort of blocking the straight, and Russian Oil is going to be selling for so god-damn much that Trump won't have to worry about that two minute sex Tape that Putin bought from Epstein.  This new blockade is different from the old blockade the way Chicago and Deep Dish Pizza are different.  Trump's behavior is total infantile.  A temper tantrum with a global scream.  Everyone is fucked over by this infant. 

That Vance could not negotiate his way out of a paper bag is no surprise.  He blew it.  A chance to steal the show.  He could have been a contender.




The fool directly mirrors the same Iranian tactics he spent the last six weeks condemning.

 

Clear insanity.

Reptilian Repetition in Trump's Diplomacy: Make threats, then talk. I don't mean to insult reptiles. But the Trump approach is what lower life forms and bullies do.






President Trump's approach to international relations, particularly with Iran and previously with North Korea, involves a consistent pattern of aggressive rhetoric followed by attempts at diplomatic engagement.

Trump's Playbook: Trump follows a predictable pattern where he uses aggressive language and threats before attempting diplomacy.

 

This approach was seen in his dealings with North Korea, and it appears to be repeating with Iran.

A: Reptilian Repetition: The strategy relies on the repetitive use of similar tactics, banking on others' short attention spans to overlook the pattern. It starts with a threat.

 

By making repeated threats, Trump aims to create a familiar dynamic that he can manipulate to his advantage.

B: Pivot to making demands. In 2017, after threatening "total destruction" against North Korea, Trump became the first U.S. president to meet with a North Korean leader.

 

Despite the lack of substantive outcomes, North Korea gained international legitimacy without giving up its nuclear weapons.

C: Get the opponent to concede or repeat from step A. Trump's words are designed to provoke a reaction, and potentially force the other party into backing down due to the threat.

 

This simple strategy attempts to use the specter of force to achieve diplomatic goals.

Trump is unfamiliar with :

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances

Trump's recent actions towards Iran follow a well-established pattern that he has used before with North Korea. His aggressive rhetoric and threats are not accidental but rather part of a calculated strategy aimed at forcing his opponents into concessions through the perceived strength of "big talk."

Which from an American President or any other mature adult is childish and stupid. It is what bullies do. It is also too kind to refer to the strategy as calculated since it is only a pattern that repeats with little variation. A pattern that is easily seen by an opponent, violating another maxim from 'The Art Of War."

What happened to the people living there.  Were they forced to move west to new hunting grounds?  Or is this atrocity even more egregious than the American atrocities of 150 years ago.

If they had to move west I hope they can swim.

According to the 'war interpretation group' of Tasnim, Iran's serious pressure on the American side to implement a ceasefire in Lebanon was and is no secret to anyone, and this has been confirmed by both regional and Western sources and media outlets.

However, Trump and Israeli sources, along with some regional sources, are trying to link the ceasefire in Lebanon solely to Trump's negotiations with the Lebanese government and the Zionist regime, downplaying the role of the resistance and Iran.  To embarrassing to say the Israel continues to murder after the king of the world told him not to.



Follow the money on that guy, he serves $atan for a reason.

Notably there is no news abut 'the war' today by the ass kissing mainstream media.  I was confused, and then I figured it out.



Bibi, will he stop?  Too embarrassing to say he might not!  So no news today from the ass kissers.



 

[K-Dog]

Hezbollah emerged during the Lebanese civil war with the goal of opposing Israeli occupation. Its primary focus has been to expel Israel from southern Lebanon, which it sees as essential for national liberation. This perspective is rooted in historical conflicts and regional politics.

Trump's blockade of Iran through the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has had significant negative impacts on global oil markets and energy infrastructure. Trump's blockade has driven up oil prices and fractured the stability of global trade. Trump's new disruption, has a substantial effect on oil markets on top of the problems caused by the attack on Iran.

It is unfortunate that the US government does not represent the interests of the American people or humanity.  This ceasefire is a tactical deep breath, nothing more.
