Would a buffer zone in the Hormuz make a difference if Iran just moves the Shaheds more inland and continues attacking from there?

Someone's about to make a fortune printing Trump "I did that" stickers.

i am entering the war on cabinet officials on the side of the knives

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ben Franklin’s posts would alternate between a savvy comment about a diplomatic dispute between Algeria and Tunisia, well also replying to onlyfans girls like “beautiful 😍”

lmao mullin is going to fucking *hate* this job, i will be surprised if he’s in it a year

Both things can be true at once:

-This war is incredibly stupid and reckless and unlikely to have a positive outcome even if the regime falls.

-That being said, there's a reason not even Iran's supposed allies are rallying to its defense.

Don’t threaten the entire planet with a good time, Donald.

That's how you get a blue tsunami.

Median voters about to learn the hard way why deflation is a bad idea.

I know this is far beyond the point of what's happening right now but I hope every dipshit influencer and rich failson who moved to Dubai is pissing their pants in terror and second guessing every decision in their life right now

I don't think this is the headline Trump expected to see today.

MBS was also lobbying for war and Trump loves sucking up to the Gulf states as much as Netanyahu.

lol remember this

WHY DO THEY KEEP GATHERING IN PERSON

CENTCOM is basically the Kwantung Army at this point.

Another argument is that if you want a 1SS, there will have to at minimum be a 2SS or confederation transitional period to allow both sides to adapt to the new status quo.

I guess it depends on whether you think the Israeli state should be allowed to continue operating from the original 1948 constitutional framework in the event of a peace deal, or re-litigate 1948 and force Israel to adopt the one-state solution that renounces Zionism.

How much is because of capability or because Iran is more patient about escalating if necessary though, especially when they know Trump's tendency to cave while declaring victory if things get too hot.

Still think this probably lasts another week at most until both sides find a suitable enough fig leaf to declare victory and we return to status quo ante bellum.

If you see this, post a princess or a queen.

I mean, economic pressure did work on South Africa after a time.

Explain how you can make a one-state solution work without the whole thing collapsing into a bloodbath that makes the breakup of Yugoslavia look tranquil by comparison.

Likud's greatest allies are western anti-Semites.

FWIW, it does seem 2SS proponents are slowly coming around to the idea of adopting a more hardline approach to Likudnik bullshit.

I do believe 2SS or confederation is still possible and preferable to 1SS, but the current approach needs an overhaul because it's basically been:

1. Wait for Likud to magically disappear one day.

2. Yitzhak Rabin comes back from the dead.

Just gonna say there are plenty of insurgent, anti-establishment candidates WITHOUT Nazi tattoos that the New Republic could have featured instead of Platner.

You could ABSOLUTELY make the point that Ds are mad at the centrist leaders of the party WITHOUT helping rehabilitate this particular guy.

I think what's going to happen is a renewed push for 2SS or a confederation solution that puts actual pressure on Israel to make concessions rather than just hope that Likud will one day be Thanos-snapped out of existence and Rabin comes back from the dead.

Wasn't Reagan the one that pressured Begin to lift the siege of Beirut after the Sabra massacre?

Never go full Nurgle.
