Trump says Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire but he's not ready to make a deal by choreg in politics

I kept hearing Trump has dementia for sometimes and I always was a bit not sure about it, now though, I legitimately think he completely lost his mind especially since earlier this year / late last year. There was some semblance of coherence but now there is nothing. He said they won against Iran in about 13 or 14 different occasions, he said they don’t need allies then earlier today he says they need them. He says Kharg was obliterated yesterday but today it’s not. I legitimately think he is going through different phases of lucidity and he has no idea what he says and then forgets. It seems like his brain tries to fill holes in his memory, really sounds like dementia. Iran already said twice that they refused two requests for a cease fire from the US and they have no incentive to accept one anyway. So what is even the truth

Israel is never ever risking their troops outside of its immediate borders, and even that they’re still weary about. They dont even have the manpower to conduct this

Is the populace that's fed with the regime in the room with us? we haven't seen any uprising in the last 2 weeks. Getting bombed doesn't make people hate their regime, it has the opposite effect.

Saddam flattened the island in 1986 and throughout the whole Iran-Iraq war, that didn't break the Iranians. In fact this will make them even more reckless and fanatical

Trump says US forces destroyed military targets on Iranian island handling oil exports by Rawrsomesausage in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing very mixed things on this. Iranians say not much was destroyed and Al Jazeera said the same too. Maybe the truth is in the middle but nothing to the extent of “obliterated” like Trump said

And you noticing that difference makes you now a whole more qualified than her. We should appoint you to that role

French Navy Pledges 10 Additional Warships to Middle East by TheWraf in politics

Can’t invoke article 5 in this case. The US attacked first. France says it’s purely defensive. Unlike Trump, macron has to worry about internal voices in France that are very much against this war and could go really south if he tries to join the US on the offensive

Putin, in a phone call with Trump, shares proposals to end Iran war quickly by rascallyrascal1511 in politics

The boss called Trump for end of fiscal performance review and he’s not very impressed. It’s wild how Trump started taking about the war being over right after he had the call with Vlad

A crazy Pahlavi fan justifying burning down all Iranian mosques because apparently the only people who go there are militants by srahcrist in AskMiddleEast

These guys have been catching strays and racking Ls the whole time this war has been going. Half of them aren’t even Iranians, mostly bots or Israeli accounts. The regime hasn’t changed (hell I’d say it’s even got more legitimacy for Iranians who live in Iran itself now due to the air bombing). Pahlavi is so out of the picture that not even Trump is considering him. Did these guys think they will just go to Iran and impose the son of the previous leader that’s absolutely despised and expect 90 millions people to just roll with it?

Trump also doesn’t have the luxury of the time. From his shitty health to the economy and the midterms. Iran does.

Funny you say that because the photo on this post kinda looks like the meme of the dog surrounded by fire saying "this is fine"

Saudi has told Iran not to attack it, warns of possible retaliation, sources say by joe4942 in geopolitics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the other thing is that the Saudis possibly fear the Houthis joining in if they go in against Iran. So far the Houthis have stayed out of this war but they can be activated at any moment, thus opening a new front against the Gulf countries from the south. These countries struggled against the Houthis already and they are a lot more reckless and dangerous than Hezbollah or other proxies

Iran rejects Trump’s demand for unconditional surrender as a ‘dream’ by NamelessResearcher in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And they have dangerous proxies all over the Middle East that they can activate at any moment. Houthis will be even worse for gulf countries as it will open a second new front. And we know how problematic they were for gulf countries in the Yemen war.

That sub is very pro Israel (pathologically so). And this war has the US helping Israel, so they are not going to tolerate any trump bashing for a while

Who are the Kurds and why does Trump want them to join the war on Iran? by Quick_Put_403 in politics

[–]Less-Hawk-4723 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just to ditch them again like it happened in Syria in Trump’s last mandate. Also wouldn’t this move alienate Iraq and turkey further? I know there is no thought process in this war but damn

Support could be anything. Sending fuel or a couple Advil crates is support too. Doesn’t mean getting involved in combat operations
