It's really quite fascinating, this opportunity to witness Trump and his lieutenants spinning events in realtime that are in fact quite easily refuted with a quick fact checking regimen. Their putting on one hell of a Kabuki theater, but eventually the show will come to an end. They can fool the investor class, the MAGA faction, and a healthy portion of uninformed Americans - but sooner rather than later, the natural consequences of this catastrophe will overtake the propaganda, forcing all stakeholders to choose between terminal delusion or sober reckoning.
The US and Israel initiated this disaster - unprovoked, for precise reasons not yet fully known. I know this for certain: everything Iran has done and continues to do - **in response** - to the obscene violence of the US and Israel, was and still is clearly conveyed well in advance by the Iranians. They have not broken their word. They have been forthright in their warnings of what to expect in retaliation for any given scenario. Iran is the victim here. And for a victim, Iran has been overwhelmingly measured, wise, and capable in their retaliation. Retaliation **is** their only means of self-defense. Any fair mind must conclude that if your existence is **truly** on the line, you will do what you must with what you have to ensure a favorable outcome.
Essentially, there is only one single thing anyone reliably can count on. It is reliable as night following day. In a world where it is said that the only constant in the world is change, there is an exception.
The great constant is that Trump will always profit. And the amount of profit will scale with number of lies that come out of his mouth. He honed that skill cheating an entire generation of contractors in New York. From the 5 Boroughs to the entire globe.
This is par for the course. You can't trust or believe anything that Trump or his adminstration say. We should all start calling him the fake president and the liar in chief. The GOP are very good at framing things so that they can pretend they are the opposite of what they say. For example, Citizens United does not unite the people but instead gives power to the elite privileged classes. The "Save Act" would not save America nor does MAGA stand for Making America Great Again but instead they try to destroy many of the best things about America. We have to start telling it like it is. Everytime Fake President Trump calls someone a demeaning name he is typically describing himself and we should all start saying so repeatedly. Once enough of us start doing these things everyone will have to accept that it is true because it is so painfully obvious.
The "America First" Trophy Mike Johnson just gave trump is irrefutable proof that he has his nose so far up Trump's rear-end, that if he sneezed, Trump would have a religious experience.
First of all, in a sane and somewhat just world, for any meaningful, credible negotiations with the U.S., there should be a third party or a couple of third parties that can hold the U.S. accountable in case the negotiations are a subterfuge for surprise aggression as was the case on the previous talks. Although for the life of me, I cannot think of a third party or parties that are credible, seasoned and sincere. The Europeans have lost much of their tattered authority and a facade of a moral high ground after their cooperation and/or complicity with the U.S. and Israel in the mass slaughter of Palestinians.
Additionally, the two U.S. negotiators should not be part of the negotiations as they represent Israel as much as they represent the United States. And they lack diplomatic credentials. Also, where are the people with experience in the field of diplomacy, nuclear weapons etc. but it was never really about the weapons, was it.
Finally, the U.S. and Israel have dropped bombs on Iran in 20,000 attacks, if one person died as a result of the 20,000 attacks, that’s 20,000 civilians. Although it could be high. And Iran is also not disclosing the real count of their casualties.
This is absolutely horrendous that a sovereign country can be attacked, carpet bombed without any accountability.
When all is said and done, a country is being destroyed under the pretense of democracy, women are being killed under the banner of feminism and freedom.
I hope all the regime hating Iranians dancing with joy in western capitals are silent now. Their democracy is literally falling from the sky..
Yes the regime was brutal, but so are many other regimes around the world, and theUS and the west are fine with them.
I wonder if there will be a discussion and condemnation one day about the president and his men who called the bombs and fighter jets beautiful, joked about the brutality of invasion, joked about those that they are killing.
I wonder just like the masked ICE agents, when will the guns turn on the people.
So the U.S. bombs first, pulls out of mediated talks, ignores Iran’s framework, and then goes on TV claiming Iran is “begging” to negotiate? That’s not negotiation—it’s PR. If anything, this reads like an attempt to manufacture consent for escalation while pretending diplomacy is being tried.

Oops, just thought of another constant. The unparalleled journalism from Drop Site News.

Isn't Mike Johnson the single best example of why anyone in the religions camp ought to de-convert and become an atheist.

Glad to see your report, Jeremy.
So thankful for your reporting
FAT NIXON SCREWED the USA AND OUR MILITARY
More power to Iran. The juvenile delinquents in the US and Israel administrations are finally suffering some consequences for their criminal behavior.
