I am glad Israel are objectively the good guys

Rusp felt that one in his knee
This is a real product, you can now buy service on T-Mobile towers directly from Trump
and some small-quantity android phone they're making in St.Louis
It's a more expensive version of Helium or Mint
I personally would be more interested in a GoogleFi model, make your base cost near-zero and charge for data
but unless more US carriers start offering multi-eSIM, I can see that not being as popular as single-service unlimited

Trump posting DMs is amazing
Also despite what Twitter is claiming,
no the US has not joined the war
we've not been attacked, and for some reason Trump tweeted we "own the skies over Iran"
and people think that means we've done something
which we haven't
Trump views everything he does/says as negotiating
and doesn't like when his MAGA supporters "undermine" him by saying they don't want to get invovled in Iran
because it makes too obvious that there is literally zero desire outside of neocon Jews to do it
Republicans aren't even polling it
support in the US is in the 10-20% range
Same with Massie (who I have started to dislike a bit)
because he doesn't know how to be pragmatic and actually get the shit he wants done
Stripping Trump of "war powers" pre-emptively is just retarded
even if I think it has a 50-50 chance of passing, because of how unpopular potential war with Iran is
but enough Republicans are scared that Trump is genuinely retarded (or that hawks like Mike Huckabee can somehow convince him) that they'll probably vote for it
It comes back to, Trump/America want to continue being involved in all global disputes, because that's how our country is able to stay on-top
and as retarded as it is, and as much as I hate coping and saying 4D chess
Trump sperging out on Twitter and saying random contradictory stuff
probably genuinely helps the situation tip in the US's favor
that's 2025 for you
on what?

Trump's not this dumb, he's not being swayed by Mike fucking Huckabee saying he's jerking off in the Israeli embassy and that God wills Trump to nuke Iran
he posted it because it's part of the SAME "NEGOTIATING" THAT HE'S BEEN DOING SINCE the 90s, and wrote a book about
I hate the Art of the Deal, in much the same way I hate How to Make Friends and Influence People
but they are 1000% American values to the core
Both as an accurate reflection of our culture, and successful methods for operating in our society
I also don't think Trump is some mastermind, I don't think he's the most successful Machiavellian negotiator ever
He wants to stack up wins, and doesn't really care about specifically which wins they are
Israel and Iran don't know how to escalate or defuse the current status quo of lobbing missiles at each other
Israel has backed off all of their ground operations, because they were expecting no real resistance from Iran, and can't escalate without foreign backing
and Iran would like to off-ramp, because they know they will suffer economically the longer they keep engaging in hostilities
@Gent I want you to make a call, will Trump bomb Iran directly?
want to speculate on odds?
are you saying 50-50, 70-30?
no but really, do you think he will
in your gut
other than being annoyed at Gent fence sitting the question, not really
