The Call For Peace

Is it normal to bomb the hell out of an adversarial sovereign nation then uni-laterally call for peace ?

It worked, didn't it? Despite the echo chambers screaming WW3.

Yes.

Did it work, though? Iranian officials are saying they received no call for peace and are still beating their chests about "retaliation" for attacks made against them.

It very likely is not real.

The most obvious explanation is that a certain nameless person cannot go a day without drawing attention to himself at all costs, thrives on chaos and turns on a dime.

This nameless person's only currency is causing a scene so that they only talk about him.

Whoever this person may be.

Of course it's "normal" if the offendig party is named USA.

But in the recent particular case the whole thing looks like arranged theater, attacks carefully designed to have no impact worth talking about, "I won bigtime" announcements for both parties then stepping back. I hope it can stay that way at least for some time before the warmongers owerwhelm the weak leaders again.

The cheeto-in-chief is begging them to follow the ceasefire on Twitter because the bombing didn't actually prevent their nuclear program lol.

Another unconstitutional act for the price of anti-american sentiment and higher gas prices? Hell yea, MIGA! The accelerationists praise Trump's actions no matter what, as usual. 👅 🥾

To explain the above post a bit more; I have met many less famous versions of this individual.

With them, the drama never ends.

One minute we are up. Then we are down. We are here. We are there.

If things ever get too good they find a way to wreck it.

Then they are sorry. Then they aren't. They love you. They don't. You are in. You are out,

They are going to do x-rated things with you. They no show. Grandparents die at least once a week. They have very interesting genetics.

They flex their money and power. Sometimes they have it. Sometimes they don't- but they can't stop themselves from shoving it in your face.

They make huge promises such as taking you on shopping sprees! And at the last second you magically did something and now it's off.

It never ends.

That's what is going on. Take nothing at face value.

The USA seemed to declare peace with no diplomacy, in affect making peace with itself whilst nobody else was involved. To make peace with anything there has to be something or someone to make peace with. A self proclaimed victory lap doesn't really work.

"P-p-pwease don't violate the ceasefire!" he posts on his low-traffic wannabe Twitter after Iran predictably retaliates.

Remember when Trump said Obama would attack Iran because he couldn't make a deal with them? Remember when he said a vote for Kamala would mean endless wars?

The strike on Iran is something called a pre-emptive strike. If you look it up it is considered an act of defense.

Iran wasn't fooling anyone with their claims that enriching weapons-grade nuclear material was being done for peaceful purposes. They got exactly what they deserved. We weren't going to wait around for them to bomb someone. It's almost a guarantee that bomb would end up with Hamas, and they would be smuggling it into another nation, likely Israel.

Yes Trump is making it clear that he wants peace, and Iran should think carefully how they respond. He didn't need congressional approval to act in defense of an ally. He needs congressional approval to send troops in, or declare war. Neither of these things have happened, which is why what he did is not grounds for impeachment.

But if Iran refuses peace and launched a retaliatory strike? Rest assured Congress will be approving a declaration of war and troop deployment shortly afterwards. It won't be up to Trump.

There are hawks on both sides of the aisle in Congress. The defense industry has big pockets and congressmen love money.

Im impressed with trump on this one. Now what needs doing is trump bringing both sides together and make peace work for the long term. Promise Iran a helping hand, invest in Iran, make Iran more like Dubai. On the other hand, Help Gaza, let Gaza being a free state and help rebuild the region. If trump does this, he will be the greatest US president of all time bar none, period.

This way everyone can live in peace. Or im I living in fantasy land ?
