I get a funny feeling that the US would’ve used this ceasefire to get troops into position for a land invasion of Iran.
seriously. that seems to have been The Move for so long now: to press for a diplomatic “pause” to redeploy resources for another major, coordinated strike with all the fancy, expensive weapons and then strike when damage potential is at a maximum.
as it turns out, this repeated use of such a perfidious tactic has now broken the lever of conflict in the “on” position and exposed an exploitable weakness of imperial power: it lacks the capacity for sustained conflict against a regional power and has lost the illusion of control over a major geographic pressure point.
Perfidious tactic? I assume you mean non-woke tactic.
several acts of perfidy later
Why won’t they negotiate with me anymore?
they really think everybody is an idiot
Everyone but iran and the dprk is
Seems like Belarus, China, Russia, and Vietnam are on top of their game too.
Nah, Russia has fallen for this again and again.
They’ve never actually compromised any of their goals, and never allowed talks with the US to affect what they were doing on the ground. There’s also value for Russia in simply talking to the US because it drives Europeans crazy which creates tensions within NATO.
Russia signed Minsk agreement, allowing Ukraine to successfully rearm and crush internal dissent, while the only thing Russia got was oligarchs selling resources to EU for 8 years longer.
At the time Russia signed Minsk, their economy or industry were still being rebuilt. It’s not like they spent the time just twiddling their thumbs during those agreements. They built up gold reserves, and sufficiently insulated the economy so that when the west cut Russia out of swift and put maximum sanctions on, the didn’t collapse as the west expected it would.
the US/Israel/entire West is not to be trusted.This is what I do in civilization
I also bribe other countries to go to war with the country I want to steal resources from so their military is divided
Following the
strategy well I see

An interesting way to phrase “Iran doesn’t trust Trump administration after they fire bombed a bunch of kids and civilian infrastructure”.
But I guess brevity matters more than truth. Lemme try again…
“US can’t be trusted to honor ceasefire”
A bit better, maybe?
Sounds like we’re getting close to the point where the U.S. force-quits so they can revert back to their last pre-war autosave.
tap tap tap why isn’t the task manager coming up?!
I think we’re 3 saves into that. The first couple got sunk aircraft carriers so they reverted until they found the optimal distance to stay out of range.
coincidentally that’s just enough time for the great satan to get some bombs in before the markets open on monday
Sometimes feels like the U.S. is trying to brute force the RNG by repeatedly offering ceasefire proposals until they hit that sub 1% chance that Iran accepts.
Given enough time at a typewriter, a monkey will eventually write shakespeare
Technically, yes. But the time scale is well beyond even far future physics predictions. The heat death of the universe would happen before the monkey completes the work. Given that a 5 word password (you really should be using words for passwords btw) can take years for the most advanced computers to crack, we’re looking at a timescale where it becomes functionally absolute 0% chance.
…Now I get it!
Aww, did someone start a war they can’t win?Waaaah please stop hitting me so I can kill you waaah
Possibly the most pathetic, gutter trash shit in human history, clown ass fucking country, clown ass confederate populace. These are the ‘winners’ of humanity, these will be last people standing. Fitting end to the complete farce that is this life
They should accept it and continue military operations with absolutely no change
and then say it’s fake news when the US starts whinging about it
I disagree. No one should be as dishonest of an actor as the US. Even to “teach the US a lesson”
Yeah you’re right, Iran is an honorable military power in the trust sense
The difference is that Iran probably declared war, while Trump thinks it’s just a little fun excursion. Fucker said he’s playing for keeps, and Iran took him at his word.
