Two weeks

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE! The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all Military objectives, and are very far along with a definitive Agreement concerning Longterm PEACE with Iran, and PEACE in the Middle East. We received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated. On behalf of the United States of America, as President, and also representing the Countries of the Middle East, it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

So typical TACO. Threatens overwhelming violence against some one/country and when they tell him to ◊◊◊◊ off, pretends that they have agreed to his terms and then resumes the “in two weeks” threats.
He operates as though threats of obliterating a country with bombing or introducing 100% tariffs are the same thing.

And no one in the US is doing anything to stop him.
I’m in a quandary, because I don’t believe political assassinations are a valid, moral solution. (ATM)

ETA : what beelzebuddy said

Hewitt: Anyone in the US who read “the civilization to be destroyed” as the whole people of Iran is acting in bad faith… So people can act in bad faith. The president didn't. He was threatening the regime. They got the message. They begged for the ceasefire.

They begged for the ceasefire.

Face-saving nonsense.

Trump is sick of winning, clearly.

 

[welshdean]

Phew! That was close.


How are the markets going...

He's hardening peoples' livers for when he finally croaks. That party will be record-breaking.

 

[W.D.Clinger]

Genocide delayed by two weeks.

Yes, folks, we live in a world where delaying a genocide by two weeks is cause for celebration.

Both the US and Iran are already declaring victory, of course.

Iran’s national security council, in a statement, said the country had been victorious over Israel and the United States, and maintained that the United States had accepted all of Iran’s peace plan, including guarantees not to attack Iran, and Iran’s control over the strait.

Trump seems to think he has agreed only to consider Iran's ten-point plan. In addition to what's said above, that plan calls for the US to pay reparations and for removal of all Western (not just US?) sanctions on Iran. That plan apparently says nothing about uranium, Iran's uranium enrichment program, or Iran's missile programs.

I have heard a report that the plan calls for Iran to receive two million dollars per ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, but I haven't seen a written report of that to which I can link.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Straight out of putin's playbook. He keeps threatening nuclear holocaust and chickening out, too. Strange how Dump doesn't learn from his obvious mistakes.

That said, ◊◊◊◊ the Iranian regime as well.

With Iranian troops hot on his tail and despite any injuries sustained in the ejection, the downed colonel had managed to scramble up a 7,000-foot ridge before climbing into a crevice to make himself hard to see from anywhere except directly above. A group of Iranian troops had tracked his presence to the mountain and were beginning to mass at its base. The American, armed with nothing more than a 9mm M8 pistol, stood no chance against a numerical superior force armed with AK-47s and more.

The colonel kept his beacon transmitting intermittently to limit the chances that Iranian forces would detect the signal and use it to triangulate his location more effectively themselves, but time was very clearly running out. At that point, two separate operations centered on the rescue of this missing colonel were already underway.

Those MC-130Js had landed some 200 miles inside Iran on an austere patch of desert where they established a forward arming and refueling point, or FARP. The idea was for the helicopters to return to that point, where the rescue team would break down the short-ranged Little Birds, load them back onto the MC-130s, and then all fly out of Iran and straight to a friendly airstrip in Kuwait. But when they arrived, they found that the nose landing gear of at least one MC-130, but seemingly both, had broken through the firm landing surface and into the loose sand below, making them practically immobile.

The rescue team spent hours in the dark, hundreds of miles inside Iran, working to free the aircraft from the sand, but it was no use. Finally, the decision was made to call in three replacement aircraft to pick up the rescue team and the colonel. At that point, reports diverge depending on the source. Either the departing special operators loaded their abandoned MC-130s and Little Bird helicopters with explosives and detonated them, or they called in for an American airstrike. Regardless, the outcome was the same, with all six aircraft destroyed to prevent Iranian forces from recovering anything valuable from the wreckage.

Have the Israeli agreed to the deadline, and does it include Lebanon?

Six aircraft that would still be in perfect working order today if the American hadn't elected an impulsive and insecure little toddler to lead them. Again.

 

[The Atheist]

How are the markets going...

Massively up.

I'd love to see who traded what 5 minutes before the orange toad spoke.

 

[The Atheist]

Have the Israeli agreed to the deadline, and does it include Lebanon?

I think those answers are yes and no.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

then we will probably see what happens when Iran doesn't stop shooting at Israel as it keeps shooing at Iran's ally.

 

[The Atheist]

Are MAGA sick of winning yet?

Look at the list of wins!

Regime change (replaced by a worse regime)
Strait open (at a very heavy price that will enrich Iran)
Uranium seized! (no)

 

[The Atheist]

then we will probably see what happens when Iran doesn't stop shooting at Israel as it keeps shooing at Iran's ally.

It's not just stop shooting, a unilateral full withdrawal from Lebanon should be part of any ceasing hostilities against the Nazis.

 

[llwyd]

Hard to believe that this program could be the base for peace - it's basically an Iranian wish list, something that a victorious nation would present at the end of a war, not at the beginning while being militarily hard pressed. Strange times. But hard to see that they would really be negotiating about those points, and if they are, the war will surely continue.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

So was the barbaric threat of annihilation just a dump and pump scheme?

 

[The Atheist]

America says the ceasefire includes Lebanon.

Israel does not.
