    He looks like a bloody genius compared to anybody calling the guy threatening nuclear annihilation a chicken or coward for not following through (because he got what he wanted).

      The point is he keeps making escalating threats and always weasels out of it. Of course I don’t want him nuking a country, but he’s a coward and a chicken hawk.

        “Weasels out of it”. He got what he wanted. By your standards, the only way he wouldn’t be a coward is if he nuked the country anyways.

          He wouldn’t have to weasel out of it if he didn’t get himself into it in the first place. Stop siding with the schoolyard bully

            Calling out dangerous foolishness isn’t “siding” with its target. Both can be bad. And, again, he didn’t “weasel” out of anything. You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t mean it’s true.

              He weaseled out of having to commit war crimes and, as of 910 EST, the strait is not open except under “condition via coordinating” with the IRG.

              Which means the strait isn’t open without conceding something to the Iranians. They literally believe they are winning solely due to the regime still being in power. They’ve shown they can bring the US to its knees via the strait and that there is no political will in the US for Trump to actually do what it would take to open it without conditions.

              But yeah, the toddler is playing 5D chess lmao. All this war showed is that the Iranian regime is not going to be destroyed by the air and that the Iranians, though they can’t match up militarily with the west, can still cause much more significant pain economically.

                except under “condition via coordinating” with the IRG.

                Also known as “open”. Yes, it’s a compromise - that’s how politics works. Your argument seems to be that, since Iran didn’t just unconditionally give over their whole country to the US, Trump is a “weasely” chicken for not nuking them after getting most of what he demanded.

                But yeah, the toddler is playing 5D chess lmao.

                Where did I say anything of the sort?

              “I’m gonna kill your family after school!”

              Final bell rings

              I have reached a deal with your family to not kill them… for now.

              You: “don’t call him a weasel or a coward! He might kill their family next time!”

                Congrats, you’ve figured out that making shit up and ignoring most of the situation makes your babble seem almost coherent.

    So this will cause the stocks to soar and the gas prices to plummet. Its like he does these little dances to let the US slowly bleed to death instead of just putting us out of our misery. Next week when he attacks again they won’t agree to another ceasefire and were right back at it again.

    So, is there any confirmation from Iran? Because nothing has changed for them to want to open the strait to US and US Ally oil. This sounds like bull shit until we hear from Iran officially.

    Iran doesn’t impede shipping through the strait, and the US/Israel stop attacking? Wasn’t that the situation before this shitshow started?

    Ah, and there’s a hidden detail the writers put in with this episode of TACO.

    Observe

    The Pakistani PM was given the precise tweet to write by Trump.
