@appleyard, dem don try dey choke vpotus

they deliberately sent him as the head of the negotiation team with maximalist demands
because they want to depict the inevitable failure in the negotiations as a personal loss

i would not be surprised if he wasn't read in on the gimmick from this morning with the destroyers

he should push for a limited one-year truce
where only the strait of hormuz question is resolved
and then punt everything else until after the midterms/2028

-Lord
It's a real pity he is picked to head the sacrificial lamb team attempting to manage what is almost no longer unmanageable.

In recent times, I have been studying Trump and the evangelical movement in the US vis-a-vis their relationship with Zionism and Satan worship cloaked in Christian robe.

Did you see the recent picture Trump posted on Truth Social depicting himself as a "saint healer" with a horned out demon above him? The person he purported to be healing looks like Epstein.

What is happening to pedolf and satanyahu is not like but factually cult like. Vpotus has got himself mixed into the wrong crowd. He won't succeed because he is not in control of what terms to negotiate on. The Epstein clan does. They picked him on purpose to set him up for the fail and taint whatever good reputation he has left since he isn't a member The Epstein cult has already decided Trump won't be finishing his term and they're trying to get Vance out of the way and positioned their own anointed favorite. Don't forget they control both parties.

This talks will not yield anything concrete if Trump doesn't take the off ramp on offer---declare victory and call it a day---escalation will resume immediately if he thinks or he is made to believe by his Epstein handlers that taking the off ramp would be too much a disgrace to bear.

Thus, vpotus will have to come up with his own best laid plans. I don't know how he is going to do it but he must take control of the negotiation terms on offer from his side, push ahead what he knows is reasonably acceptable and best for the moment or die trying to keep his career undented while standing firm on his side maximalist terms.

I am starting to believe Vance has come to the point where the best way out for him right now is to resign honorably before the whole ship sinks beneath him.

My sincere opinion thou


Peace out
It's post like this from shallow and narrow minded Christians like you that rubbishes the faith. You make it sound like God is a bias, selective God, which He is not.

Ezekiel 18:4 (KJV) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Every nation has a place in God. The life of everyman is invaluable to God, whether the Palestinians, the Jews, the Greeks, the Spaniards, the French, the Africans, and what have you, all belong to and are treated equal by God.

That God used A to bring light to B doesn't mean He treats A better than B or is B lesser than A.

So, if you kill an innocent Palestinian because you feel you're obligated to as a chosen, you would be killed also as a murderer. For God is a God of justice.

That is exactly what Israel is getting from Iran for its genocidal escapades.

If nazi genocide of Jews was bad and was condemned, Israeli genocide of Palestinians is evil and should be condemned, not condoned out of a warp sense of religion.

Well, this war has been one hell of an interesting ride.

We did predict that there would be a lot of surprises and there were.

We predicted before the war that Iran will put up a determine show; they not only did but also exceeded all expectations in so much that even the enemy was forced to admit their surprise.

Lets not even talk about who lost or gain more from this conflict. Let's just focus on the current ceasefire agreement.

Before you take Iran to the cleaners for accepting the ceasefire, remember war is stark reality that demands equally real and critical appraisal, and not a movie one can view and appraise on the basics of emotions.

I believe the US this time will keep its side of the ceasefire bargain for obvious reasons:

1. Trump has become war-weary, and this is evident by the senseless and conflicting statements he puts out regularly. When the president of the US of A openly said, "Praise be to Allah," you know the bidenization of his brain is complete due to fatigue.

2. His tactics and strategies used in manipulating the markets and enforce artificial price control has become redundant, stale and ineffective as the market eventually starts to emit the real picture swayed by the market forces of supply and demand vis-a-vis the logistical and political bottlenecks that determine actual prices in real time.

3. American bodybags is on the rise and the speed at which they were losing equipments and assets is getting increasingly embarrassing. Above all, the cost of the war has started getting to ordinary Americans as evident by the recent protest that took place across the country. Had this war gone any further say by another two weeks, millions would hit the streets calling for his resignation or impeachment. Nothing drives Americans crazier than when they're forced to pay extra from their pockets for gas and eggs.

4. Plus you have the midterms fast approaching..

Against these backdrops, the US is more likely to keep to its part of the ceasefire than violate it with impunity. Moreover, this is the best opportunity for taco to escape the quagmire he got himself into. He will never get a better chance to quit and savage whatever reputation he has left of his political career.

Notwithstanding, this ceasefire doesn't mean the war is over. Certainly not for Israel.

The genocidal vipers have already issued an evacuation order for the whole of southern Lebanon. It's clear they're hell bent on achieving the greater Israel plan, which includes the whole of Southern Lebanon encompassing the Litani river. How Iran will respond to this remain to be seen. Israel will do anything humanly possible to kill the ceasefire.

But, one thing is certain though: everyone needs this ceasefire.

Iran needs it to reorganize their ranks By the way, China keeps sending more AD systems and materials for making new ones to Iran. Russia is doing the same via the humanitarian corridor.

Iran can build only-God-knows-how-many drones and missiles in a week. Factor in the ones Russia and China can supply in two weeks.

Uncle Sam can build maybe a dozen or two missiles in a month.

Israel's capacity to build and rearm rapidly is closely knitted to the US own capacity as well.

Meaning, if the genocidal vipers are looking for round two, it won’t be them that will start or finish stronger.

From whatever angle you look at this, Persia holds the aces, and the odds favours it.

LordAdam16:
paradoxically, the talk about ground invasion has died down in the american media

they lost 11 manned aircrafts in 48 hours in the rescue op
1 f-16, 1 c-130, 1 a-10, 2 mc-130, 2 mm helos, 4 mh-6

for two airmen that only the us knew their locations
and that the persians wanted to capture them alive

ground invasion is very different
everyone will know within the first 20 minutes where they are, what their objectives are
it will be onslaught after onslaught
and they'd have to fly in everything or use amphibious crafts
both of which are slow and easy to take out
limited to no air defense
against a foe that does not care about casualties

plus you just had this huge scare and risked hundreds of lives and dozens of aircrafts for 2 potential captures
what will they do when bodies liter iran and there are paraded pows

-Lord
I really think they were testing the waters to see how Iran could potentially react in a real ground invasion scenario. That is, what countermeasures are in place by the Iranians, and how they can possibly overcome them.

Well, like you said, the test results turns out to mirror the actual horror and hesitation harboured by most of the generals in Pentagon who simply refused to need Trump's order of a full fledged ground invasion. War secretary Hegseth should be looking like a fuul right now, after sacking those nyet generals.

That said, I think the fiasco surrounding this daring move is a failed attempt to put special forces boots on the ground deep in Isfahan. The target being the enriched uranium stored deep beneath the ground. If that is the case as some analysts suggest, then I must say it's a stupid move except they were actively banking on something on the Iranian sides. It looks like they were relying on an insider whose role was supposed to facilitate the process but might as well be acting as a double mole unknown to themselves, and the result is the catastrophe we just witnessed.

You can't convince me they made all that sacrifice and took such high risk just to save one airman. At least, not with several C-130s. It doesn't add up.

Conclusion: it was a failed attempt to put boots on the ground.

The fact that they are still moving into the region similar ground invasion assets validate that assertion and further entails they will try again, howbeit from another theatre/location.

Persia must remain vigilant and watch out for smokescreen Ops. The good news though is that it is clearer the USrael team is running very low on long range munitions, which explains why they're sending more planes deep into enemy lines and recording many losses back to back.

A lot more surprises awaits in this brouhaha.

Putting the lives of a dozen soldiers at risk just to save one is entertainment for you----but it's super st*pidity to

There was no way that pilot would have been killed had Iran got to him first.

Worst case scenario, a parade before cameras, and that would have been it. He is more valuable alive for Iran than dead.

But, I don't expect the Epstein class and their supporters to understand anyway.
