    I hope to God and the resurrected Christ that you are wrong, but I am not going to bet against it either. Lord, help us.

    The deadline is Tuesday which is hilarious to me. It’s like it writes itself. Anyone willing to bet Tuesday will be Taco Tuesday day.

    From I don't care if there isn't a deal and if the Strait remains closed to I'm going to nuke your infrastructure. Crackling under pressure.

    There is no adult in the room. More likely, people in the room are pushing him over the edge.

    And the people in that region - imagine not knowing what's next, and the threat of civilian infrastructure annihilation from both the US and Iran. Americans are so far removed from that reality, at our safe distance from striking distance. We mostly care about gas prices and stock prices. They may not have light or drinking water next week.

    Who really needs a State Department when you've got a grifter son-in-law and an ignorant golfing buddy?

    Watching Ben Hur now. A young rabbi died so Judah Ben Hur can live again in peace.

    Yeah, sure.

    March 21: Trump issues 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to open Strait of Hormuz or face US attacks on power plants

    March 23: Trump postpones his deadline for five days, citing progress in purported negotiations with Tehran

    March 26: Trump issues new 10-day deadline, set to expire at 8pm on April 6 (00:00 GMT on April 7)

    April 4: Trump says Iran has 48 hours to make a deal, reiterating the April 6 deadline

    April 5: Trump appears to push the deadline back another day to the evening of April 7, telling the Wall Street Journal that Iran “won’t have ⁠any power plants … [or] bridges standing” if its leaders “don’t do something” by then.

    Later on April 5: Trump delivers what it appears to be a new precise deadline, writing on social media: “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!” – or 00:00 GMT on Wednesday, April 8.

    Meanwhile, Israel is bombing away residential apts and neighborhoods in Lebanon today. Is Israel planning on turning Lebanon and Iran into Gaza type killing fields, displacement, and genocide? More than 1.1 million people have been forcibly displaced across Lebanon amid Israel’s intensified attacks on the country and ground invasion in the south.

    Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed the Bushehr facility had now been “bombed” four times since the war erupted on February 28. He criticised what he said was a “lack of concern” for nuclear safety on the part of the United States and Israel.

    Nuclear experts and regional authorities have long sounded the alarm over the incredible damage that bombing Bushehr would do, not just to Iran and Iranians, but to neighbouring countries as well.

    Trump and Netaynhu are the problem. They are dangerous and disturbing power mongers who don't give a damn about human rights or international law.

    Its like you took two drunk guys from the end of the neighborhood and told them to run a war.

    The complexity of the American military contrasts so remarkably with simplicity and lack of planning displayed by the guys directing it. It's almost cartoonish.

    I guess we'll see whatever whim pops into grandpa poopy-pants' mind tomorrow and the whole world will have to pivot on a dime to accomidate him.

    Someone could program a "random demand generator" on the internet and consult it every day and come out with a more coherent, consistent, deliberate plan.

    sooo what happens when the bread starts getting REALLY expensive and the circuses are boring and everyone hates Israel?

    anyone else get the feeling they are engineering economic collapse and the takedown of the petrodollar so eventually most people are desperate, begging for UBI and in return accepting CBDC and mass surveillance/social credit as a compromise?

    It's not this Tuesday. It's a Tuesday in two weeks.
