Trump is a raving egomaniac with dementia, surrounded by sycophantic yes men. There is no purpose.
Saturn_winter@reddit
Everyone is talking about how we're now the ones blocking the strait, both in and out, which is insane on its own.
But what I'm wondering about is "I've instructed our navy to seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas."
What the hell do you mean by that? Are you not going to let them go to their destination? You cant tell them to go back, you're blocking the strait. So where do they go? Are you going to refund them? Regardless, I don't think either the shipping companies who paid the toll, or the countries who DESPERATELY need the things on those ships, are going to be very happy with you meddling with their ships.
Practical_Hippo6289@reddit
This is effectively a declaration of war against China and Iran.
FelixMumuHex@reddit
China? Huh?
Practical_Hippo6289@reddit
About 38% of all the oil passing through the Strait goes to China. You think they're going to stand for that being cut off?

god me too, I feel that on a spiritual level.
Realistically if we ever antagonized them enough (I just saw another post while refreshing that trump is now more openly threatening china over the arms deals they're doing with iran) china can just enact strict export controls and destroy us virtually over night, they wouldn't have to fire a single bullet in a war against the US. If that's any comfort... I don't even know anymore, we're so far off the handle at this point I feel like no one knows what the hell is going on including the people in charge so anything is possible I guess
AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit (OP)
"we're so far off the handle" No, its a reality in grand strategy IMO.
You take a minute to look at the last decade in how countries are pushing for resources, land, and security against everyone else. You'd see why it makes sense.
Saturn_winter@reddit
Yeah you're probably right. Well in the meantime I'm enjoying some k-bbq and hotpot with friends lol. Enjoy what we got while we've got it I say.

Talks are stillll going on but something seems fishy. US transports to the Middle East seem to be going wild over the last 10 hours. If there was high hopes this wouldn’t be going on. Also oddly enough the US seems to be transporting a lot of stuff to Greenland, Japan, and poland. Strange feeling that if something pops off it’s going to be the actual start of something much much bigger.
Charming_Hedgehog766@reddit
what is your tracker for such transports?
grahamfiend2@reddit
Add in the reported Chinese supply of anti aircraft weaponry and it sure seems like both sides are just using the ceasefire to restock. I suppose a smart person would regardless of potential outcome of the talks, but still makes ya wonder what’s next b
Perfect_Swing_6158@reddit
Agreed. Honestly this is all pre ww3 stuff. Control over irans straight chokes out China and one of Russias, chinas, and north koreas allies. Syria is done, Venezuela is done, Cuba next. Trump is the worse but pentagon is moving in this direction and trumps just the unhinged no brain actor.
Practical_Hippo6289@reddit
Trump posted on his Truth Social account a link to an article suggesting the US could do a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz much like we did around Venezuela. I suppose the idea is to cut off Iran's primary source of income but it seems like it would take a long time to wear them down that way. I'm guessing several months at the least. Not sure oil markets could be kept in check for that long.
No_Branch_5083@reddit
So in practical terms, the Strait is still closed right? A handful of ships a day means that every day increases the looming fuel and fertiliser crisis. Presumably the next step will be an American invasion, they're incapable of backing down.

I’ve got a friend that is a C-17 pilot. Surprisingly he’s been posting on Instagram a lot lately. He’s very clearly back and forth from the US to some mountainous region that sure resembles the Middle East. I’ve got no clue how the post are allowed as a matter of secrecy.

majordashes@reddit
I’m glad there is a mega thread here because I prep and I’m also focused on what is happening in Iran, and I’m trying to assess what in the hell is going on.
Pardon the brain dump, but some thoughts about Iran and what may be happening:
That Iran/U.S. cease-fire agreement was preposterous. It made zero sense. Why would we agree to (or even consider) most of Iran’s asks, when those asks are never going to happen? Like, agreeing that Iran can enrich uranium; or the U.S. will pay trillions to Iran for bombing damage; US withdrawal of all combat forces in the Middle East.
No way in hell will we agree to any of that, as well as the other asks.
Trump has chastised Obama for an agreement that gave Iran crumbs, compared to the colossal gifts Iran is suggesting in this cease fire.
It’s absurd.
Now we discover Iran has accused the U.S. of violating the cease-fire agreement by allowing Israel to bomb Lebanon. But Trump said Lebanon was never part of the original agreement.
I’m guessing this was agreed upon. But the cease-fire agreement we were shown in the U.S. omitted Iranian demands that the Lebanon bombing stop.
So, of course Iran closes the strait of Hormuz and begins bombing in the region, in response to the U.S. breaking the cease fire.
But Trump, by omitting the Lebanon verbiage from the agreement, makes Iran look like the aggressor who broke the cease fire.
I’m guessing Trump will use Iran’s actions (closing the strait and the recent bombings) to justify what he plans to do next—a ground invasion, destroying Iranian infrastructure and an aggressive bombing campaign.
He was planning this all along. And the cease fire agreement was never a serious document. It was a bait-and-switch tool to make Iran look like the bad actor and to justify war crimes and killing untold millions of Iranians.
I’m not saying this is exactly what is going on. I don’t know. But this seems probable.
Anyone else have insight or thoughts about exactly what our government is really doing? Pretty sad there is no trust and we’re lied to and left trying to figure out what is happening with our own government!
Suspicious-Pay3953@reddit
Longer than a Trump tweet.
Texuk1@reddit
What happened per the leaked reporting is that Trump made a mistake not too dissimilar from Putins in Ukraine. He thought the regime in Iran would fall after bombing. This didn’t happen and instead the exact scenario that has been war planned occurred, Iran closed the strait and it is causing global instability and rocketing fuel prices in the states. Trump panicked hoping the problem will go away, he’s looking for an out as quickly as possible and to call victory. Instead the world is facing serious economic issues which cannot be easily resolved. Additionally Iran has bombed the Saudi route to market pipeline making the world even more dependent on the strait which it controls. Basically a big f-up by the administration and now there is no easy way out.

Bubbly_Sort849@reddit
Trump will try to keep this pump going through the week, try to bring down oil prices… with lies, and I think come Friday when Markets Close and the lie cannot be stretched any farther about Hormuz being open, he will attack.
I think this whole ceasefire agreement was so that he could somehow make it seem as if he wanted peace, and was left with no other choice.
It’s his typical behavior.
Th3_Admiral_@reddit
I don't understand how it's still going now. The Strait isn't open, oil is not moving. The ceasefire was broken before the market even opened today. So why did everything still go up?
majordashes@reddit
Most likely because the cease-fire agreement gave people hope that a resolution is imminent and the strait will be open soon.
Trump waved around the cease fire and cast a positive light on it.
In addition, JD Vance will be in Pakistan tomorrow and Saturday, attempting to broker a deal in person. That’s providing market hopium and delaying panic, like the cease-fire.
The financial media machine exists to calm fears and control market behavior. So they’re positioning the cease fire and Vance’s negotiations as points of hope. We’re being encouraged to wait-and-see.
At this point, everyone is hanging onto threads, which stand a good chance of completely unraveling in the next few days.
And I worry about JD Vance being in India. We just killed the top layers of Iranian leaders. Now we’re sending one of our leaders to meet with an Iranian delegation in a foreign country.
Is that wise?
Regarding the cease-fire agreement: That thing was a fucking farce. I don’t know what’s really going on behind the scenes. These corrupt incompetents don’t invite me to their meetings. But it is clear we never had any intention of meeting the majority of those demand.
So what are we doing? Buying time to stage a ground invasion? Preparing for the civilization-destroying bombing that Trump threatened to do in his Easter social post? Or is Trump flailing, scrambling, looking for any way out and the cease-fire is just another meaningless load of bs that he’s throwing at the wall?
This is such a cluster of incompetence and buffoonery. It’s painful. The American people do not deserve this.
Bubbly_Sort849@reddit
Because it’s becoming more and more apparent that the majority of the people in the world, and in power, are unfortunately completely ignorant.

You don't really need 2 heavy cargo carriers with 40 ton lift capacity landing in hostile territory to medevac one soldier.

So you are thinking they are gathering the material?
Additional-Math70@reddit
Absolutely not. You’d need heavy equipment to dig that out.
Those MC-130’s aren’t built for that, you’d need C-17’s. Also the MH-6’s, those are for shuttling operators to the X, not transporting nuclear materials.
Additional-Math70@reddit
Also, you don’t necessarily need an airstrip to land a C-130, you can land it on a highway. AFSOC practiced that last year in North East Arkansas landing an AC-130 and a MC-130 at a makeshift FARP…on a stretch of state highway.

Skyremmer102@reddit
I think Israel's attacks are far more limited than the USA's. That country has very limited options as to where they can disperse their aircraft to, so sooner or later all their air stations are going to be rendered unusable whether or not most of their jets are destroyed.

As a European, it‘s completely unfathomable how none of it has consequences.
Don‘t get me wrong, our governments here certainly have their flaws and problems, but surely threatening a genocide would be a tipping point here and lead to mass protests (at least I have enough hope remaining to believe that) - how is it not in the US? I really don’t get it and I feel absolutely sick.

We don't have healthcare and can't afford lawyers. We can lose everything protesting with no social safety net. We are more like serfs than anything else.
That's not to say that people don't protest, they do and that people don't resist, they do. But it's in the context of our economic reality and the risks thereof which isn't the same as yours. I'm unclear as to why Europe keeps thinking the US should be a cookie cutter of what they do.

uk that saying 'most ppl dont have enough savings for a big incident' or w/e?
most ppl dont have enough money to miss a day or two of work.
those one or two days are the things keeping u fed, bathed, warm, and in a residence. and if u miss those two days, ur employer can and will take u out back. and good luck finding another job-- esp if ur above the avg minimum wage ($18-20, depending on the area)
The_Dreamer55@reddit
We can't get off work to do a general strike, we'd risk being fired and thus going homeless
PhilosophyEnough1866@reddit
that's the same risk as elsewhere, and it doesn't stop everyone.
The_Dreamer55@reddit
It hurts more financially to get fired here, because most people are living paycheck to paycheck as it is. Heck, it's normal to work 2-3 jobs and go into debt each month just to get by.
Most people aren't going to take that risk, and the people that do are going to be up a creek without a paddle.
Theres not a widespread option here.
Though I do agree that we should be able to.
I would love to do that.
PhilosophyEnough1866@reddit
sure, it hurts. that doesn't mean we can't do it, that just means we suffer while they do. if you look at the civil rights movement, pretty much everyone participating had a way worse life for it till they got what they wanted.
I think it is a widespread option, just one that most people won't take. not that I can blame them for not wanting to.

Graymouzer@reddit
Something to keep in mind about protests in the US is that most Americans, something close to 97% of Americans , do not live within 100 miles (160 KM) of the capitol. The No Kings protests were huge but scattered over a large country. If the US were superimposed over Europe, and DC was London, the west coast would be on the Caspian Sea. Hawaii would be same distance as central Kazakhstan, similar in distance from London as Islamabad. 50% of people in Britain live within 100 miles of London. About 20% of French people live within 100 miles of Paris. It's a lot easier to have a large protest that is visible to politicians in these countries.

SnooLobsters1308@reddit
general strike? What? In the USA? Strikes aren't a protest here, they don't hurt the government, and they just make the workers hungry. Like, look at the recent USA TSA crisis (tsa = airport security). The WORKERS didn't strike, the government parties got in a dispute and simply didn't pay them. :)
In USA, employers strike you.

At this point? No. It needs to be the military. Congress is useless without an enforcement body, and no capitol police officer can realistically arrest the president. Sure? Maybe the marshals, but the only people who could take a worst-case-scenario-even-the-secret-service-are-in-on-it? The military.
vertigoacid@reddit
Why do you believe physically capturing him right away is an important step?
If Congress removes him from office, he has no power at that point. It's not like being physically present in the white house grants authority.
TemporaryKey3312@reddit
One, that’s not what I said.
And two, he can basically say “nuh uh”to what ever congress says or does, and what would they do? Send the courts after him?
Okay, say he’s charged. What then? Who arrests him? And for what?
Send the military? Maybe? But definitely some hardliners in the military he hasn’t lost yet. Would probably lead to a semi-civil war.

Malcolm_Morin@reddit
It depends on how Russia responds. In regards to their war with Ukraine, it will incentivize them to use nukes against Ukraine because, "Well, if the US can use them, why can't we?"
If they retaliate by attacking US bases, that's WW3 without question. If they respond with nukes, that's it. Nuclear holocaust, two hours to reduce our world to cinders. It will be generations before we recover.
HiberianSusky@reddit
I'd argue invasion of Ukraine sort of kicked off WW3 and the US is just now getting their hands dirty. I don't think there will be nukes. Proxy wars. Lots of them. Drone warfare like the public has never seen it. War makes money my friend.

There’s no way we’ll agree to any of that.
This “cease fire” is a joke.
Who knows what in the hell is happening behind the scenes. It feels like Trump was told that the continued closed Straits of Hormuz will cause a global recession, shortages of food, oil, food, goods and also inflation. So he was forced to consider a deal he’ll never consider to open the straights.
They have him right where they want him.
And did Iran really open the straights? To everyone? I read Iran is charging some countries tolls. Would these tolls be exceedingly high? Will the U.S. be forced to pay these tolls?
I have a feeling the U.S. has been played.
I don’t see how this deal doesn’t crumble within a week.
Maybe the other countries involved will be able to finesse some kind of agreement.
What a cluster.

“ I have a feeling the US has been played.” G, you think? You think the evil toddler monster who rants and Reyes like a lunatic and is obviously succumbing to dementia, may not have been so strategic?
It’s true. This is a way worse deal than what we had under Obama and we’re not gonna get any better than this. Those Iranians are not gonna open that straight free and clear and why would they and why should they? They should hold to their position that they will not adhere to anything until leadership in the United States changes.

Trump closed the straits in the first place when he decided to start a war with Iran, the fact that negotiation for the opening of the straits is on the table is already a loss, it was already the status quo

almost as if we shouldn't have started a war in the first place. Good grief. I'm still pissed at the needless loss of our bases, lives, and equipment and now the IRGC gets to charge illegal, expensive tolls compared to the maintenance tolls assessed in the Panama Canal and Suez.
Texuk1@reddit
So I used to advise businessmen in “negotiating deals”. There was always a technique where a deadline was set and then maximal pressure was put on everyone to sign something by the deadline. The problem always was that the hardest things to agree were never discussed until the last minute (because many people are unable deal with uncertainty and don’t like to give things away). It’s actually extremely difficult to sign a deal under normal conditions. This meant that shitty things were written down and no one was quite sure what was agreed. More often than not there would be a series of amendment agreements where people notice what a shit contract they signed. But the big dogs would take pictures and send out press releases and things got built. I think there was a pervasive belief that contracts were for suckers and if you were buying or building something it was the relationship that built it. Which is true I guess in some sense.
This is what we watched in full in public over the last month some weird hybrid of business negotiation blended with escalate to de-escalate. And what is left is just nonsense because this isn’t a business deal it’s a war, there is no relationship just power. The people in charge are playing themselves. This is definitely not the resolution it’s just de-escalation temporarily, probably buying more time until they can bring in more equipment.
ohwellwhatever11@reddit
This. There also comes a “can I work with this” point in negotiations where the parties are too far apart.
This negotiation has been a total fail on the side of the US. They have been had so Israel can take land in Lebanon. The cease fire won’t hold because Israel isn’t going to stop. Any agreement won’t hold because of the utter idiocy shown by the US, the egos involved and Israel stating they won’t stop.
When faced with this, it’s have a serious discussion with your client about power, alternatives, the risk involved in saying the deal is off unless you give me what I want and being able to live with with the result either way.
Helps if you aren’t being held hostage to someone with nukes, but if this is how he ran his businesses he is a crappier business man than I thought he was. And I thought he was diabolical to start with.
What a waste of time, money and lives. All because of a demented narcissistic megalomaniac.
Texuk1@reddit
I’m gonna skirt close to the rule of this sub but say the pervasive view that Trump was a good businessman is probably at the root of our problems in this conflict. He doesn’t know how bad he is and has always relied on other more clever and self interested people to do the heavy lifting. He’s been successful as two things 1) an actor on a reality TV show and 2) a political campaigner. On 1 the producer of the show said that they would just roll the camera the whole day and pick things that sounded right because he couldn’t follow the script, the apprentice was a construction of the producer and editors completely disconnected from reality. 2) he is genuinely one of the greatest political speakers in my opinion - that’s his main achievement. But anything requiring any critical judgement or attention isn’t gonna work - hence why we are here.

Easy_Welcome_9142@reddit
How? My understanding is that they continued to enrich uranium under the Obama deal and managed to get a good amount of 60%.
Little_War2626@reddit
Your understanding is incorrect. Previously they were subject to surprise inspection at any time, enrichment is not such a simple thing to develop facilities and hide from these inspections. Trump threw that deal away, and they started enrichment. Now they will get paid for every tanker that passes the Strait, and use that money to fund terrorism around the world. The entire world was against the US’ actions here. Except Israel and Russia who both benefitted from this, China too, since the transactions for oil will be in Yuan, weakening the Petro-Dollar influence. You are probably less than a year away from having a Shahed drone launched from a shipping container and striking any of the coastal cities of the US. This could not have gone more poorly for the US, and has only strengthened Iran’s position in the region. US looks like a bully AND a loser. Truly the ArT oF The DEaL.

If we literally did NOTHING, they would still enrich uranium, but gas prices wouldn’t double and many major resource processing facilities like natural gas and plastic would still be operational.
The regime is still the goddamn same, btw.

Excuse the rant but the last year has been the first time in my life that I've been feeling straight up stressed to f*ck on a daily basis just from the state of the world around us all. I'm not even American and I feel anxiety almost every day knowing that man is in the White House.
A couple of months back I went for drinks with a friend and she was telling me she is just depressed all the time, feeling this heaviness she can't explain. I said to her it's probably the cumulative impact of everything around us, not anything in her particular life, and it's like something clicked and she realised it's just the world is totally insane. That's why.
We're all being asked to be sane on a daily basis in a world that is fucking loopy on so many levels and if that makes you depressed or anxious you are told you are mentally ill. Which is madness in itself.
The irony is that back in 2016 I didn't like Trump, but I wasn't totally against him either. I thought he was vulgar and unpleasant but had no idea he was as unhinged and morally bankrupt as I feel he is now. I feel ashamed I didn't realise sooner.
Wishing I had the money to build a bunker at this point, I guess having a big ol' bunker is largely the preserve of the very kinds of people leading us into this lunacy in the first place.

Honestly, I just really hope America can heal in time. In addition to America, perhaps in some way because of the actions of it, it's like the whole world is forgetting why we have liberty, democracy, rule of law, compassion in some way too.
These things are huge benefits but there are so many upstart authoritarian political parties that are now treating them like hindrances to governance.
I listen to Hegseth's gleeful speeches on "maximum lethality" warfare and it's like he is incapable of understanding there is a reason why there are rules of engagement, laws, codes of conduct. There's a reason America doesn't blow up hospitals and power plants. Humanity. Morality. How has this been forgotten?
Anyway...love from across the pond. I hope things improve soon.

Something I don’t think MAGA realizes is that if the shit hits the fan, if our system collapses, there’s an incredible amount of pent up anger and hate for them that will be unleashed.

MAGA may never be invited back to Thanksgiving dinner, but they won’t have to face the unbridled consequences that would come with a system collapse.

Them keeping the strait closed raising oil prices globally is a pretty big leg to stand on. They could keep it closed by sending drones alone because of the insurance risk.
Agreeable-Meeting977@reddit
It wouldn’t take the US very long to forcefully open the straight quickly if they really wanted to
Spacecowboy78@reddit
How would you envision that happening when a single drone can cost a ship company its insurance certificates? What about a single mine waiting under the surface?
Agreeable-Meeting977@reddit
Ships are still passing through the straight, but at a significantly lower rate, there aren’t mines being planted in there yet. Ships might be reluctant to pass through, but if the US really decided they wanted the straight open, there is nothing that Iran could do
SheBenOnMyJohnson@reddit
I think the risk of that would be too high to keep it open long term. Iran has anti ship missiles, and kamikaze drones and warships have limited interceptors. That’s why Iran didn’t do much to stop the destruction of their navy they really didn’t need it to close the strait just the threat of hitting ships is enough
UrMad_ItzOk@reddit
I'm sure Iran wasn't concerned at all about the destruction of their navy /s
warboy@reddit
They probably weren't. They had basically no open water navy. What they did have largely came from western powers and cost them nothing. So far it seems Iran is showing that you can wound a giant with a simple slingshot.
Iran does not need a traditional Navy to control passage through the strait. If they did, the strait would have been open this entire time.
Somepotato@reddit
Wow that's so much better, the US has a magical capability to bring the looming energy crisis to an end but is choosing not to. Lovely.
UrMad_ItzOk@reddit

If relying on drones alone to shut down 20% of global oil trade were a sustainable strategy, the regime wouldn't be facing total infrastructure obliteration from the U.S. and Israel for failing to reopen the waterway, nor would they be losing surface ships and air defenses faster than they can replace them.

The us and Israel caused them to act out and close the straight.
SheBenOnMyJohnson@reddit
Iran could also destroy most of the Middle East oil refineries and send the world into a global depression, which is what they stated would happen if their civilian infrastructure was destroyed. Oil wouldn’t recover for years. The strait being closed for a month and a half lead to countries rationing their oil.
Mediocre_Ask_2108@reddit

Iran state media is saying they won on 10 points including the U.S. paying war reparations to rebuild what was destroyed and that Iran would maintain ownership and control of the Strait of Hormuz. There is no way the U.S. would agree to either of those, especially if Iran was allowed to charge a toll for Strait passage. That toll would be in Chinese Yuan and would give a major boost to China and a hit to USD. Also note that this is after the U.S. has already lifted all sanctions that were in place on Iranian oil before the war started.

PrettyGalactic2025@reddit
Both the US and Iran are full of it. They’re both screwing around. We know trump will always lie and he’s already backtracking saying this list is untrue and that the 2 weeks is for negotiations only or some bs … I give up. My mental health is wrecked and I’m tired of this shit
bebopmechanic84@reddit
This cant be real lol
Mediocre_Ask_2108@reddit
If I understand it right, the ceasefire is to negotiate these terms over the next 2 weeks, not that these come into effect right away. From what I've seen though incredibly Iran and Oman get to keep collecting fees for passage in the strait in the meantime
Najalak@reddit
The war started when they were in talks with Iran and Trump bombed them. Why would anyone trust the Trump Administration to have talks?
Mediocre_Ask_2108@reddit
Oh I'm not saying it's over or anything, this ceasefire has been on thin ice since it started

B-52s have been operating in the region since the beginning of this conflict. There are no credible reports linking one taking off to the deadline Trump has imposed. If I'm wrong, I wish someone would link the evidence.

Yes, but that’s not why he is getting his ass handed to him. He’s losing because he’s a fascist. Secondarily, and typical of fascists, he is not very smart, does not study the world, and relys on his ‘gut’.
He is not worthy of his position in any way.
Signal-Focus-3589@reddit
He achieved his goal of ruining the Iranian nuclear program and getting the straight opened with zero casualties so im strugling to see where he's actually losing in this particular scenario
clara_finn@reddit
Isn’t him competing his goal of opening the strait a bit like setting yourself the goal of completing a jigsaw that’s already solved so you move a few pieces around first? Except obviously trump probably lacks the brain power to be able to do that
Consistent-Spell2203@reddit
Invent a problem real or imagined, "fix" it worse than before, declare victory, repeat. Everyone else suffers the consequences.
Spottedinthewild@reddit
Strait (no g) was open before and used to be free to pass through! Iran wasn’t collecting tolls then but will be now. US military just learned they’re not safe in the region and can not operate without Iran’s go ahead.
In addition, the points the us ‘leader’ is signing on to are overwhelmingly favorable to Iran
Spottedinthewild@reddit
What in gods green earth are you talking about? In what sense has Irans nuclear capability been degraded? It remains u changed according to must experts.
And there has likely been thousands of casualties. Are you referring to American casualties?
clslogic@reddit
There were american casualties as well, so thats wrong too.
Spottedinthewild@reddit
Thank you! Exactly! Some people equate 400 American casualties with thousands of Iranian civilians. It’s a sickness of the American mind, they are truly a soulless terrorist state with the most expensive military of all time

Yep. And guess what???!?? He TACOED yet again lol lmfao
What an absolute joke. Iran is kicking his ass and showing the world what a child he is. Hes purposefully destroying the United States for Netanyahu, its obvious
DependentIce9315@reddit
I feel like it's weird when people use the word TACO for Trump to mock him for not following through with something really stupid. I feel like TACO should be used for when he threatens dumb sanctions. Not when he threatens to annihilate a country and then backs down.
sputtertots@reddit
its two fold here 1) He blusters and puffs up his chest, rustling feathers. 2) Its very often on a Tuesday that he reverses course in some way.
Also, he likes taco bowls.
halcyonforeveragain@reddit
Well that's where it started, he just went off the deep end and it still applies.

GrayRoberts@reddit
Welp, my mid-eighties dread of nuclear war has returned.
cogwheeled@reddit
Nuclear war anxiety. Gas shortages. Open rascism, misogyny and homophobia. Economic Recession. It's like I'm re-living my 1970s childhood but only the bad bits. Every bit of progress made in the past 50 years feels like it's being wiped out.
yourmomdotbiz@reddit
My dumb question to you, as someone who wasn’t born yet. What were the good bits? Genuinely asking because it would be cool to know😁
cogwheeled@reddit
I was a kid then so to be fair, the good bits I remember are probably due in large part to having zero responsibilities and living a boring but privileged middle class life.
When I wasn't in school I was either outside playing with the neighbor kids or inside reading, drawing and working on D&D campaigns. I was the DM for our group and I drew whole maps on these giant sheets of hexagonal graph paper my Dad would bring home from his job at a printing company.
We had a creek near our house and we were always out there running around in the woods and catching frogs or lightning bugs (there were so many insects and critters back then, their decline is eerily noticeable these days).
We listened to the radio a lot. Actual DJs picked the records and they mostly played whatever they wanted instead of repetitive playlists picked by corpos. Sure, there were ads, but radio was free. TV was also free. There was no cable or streaming. We had 4 channels. ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. That was it. You either watched what was on or not. If you missed something it was gone forever, or if you were lucky they'd show a rerun in the Summer. Everyone watched and talked about the same shows and movies. The culture felt less fragmented because we all saw and read and listened to mostly the same things.
News was whatever Tom Brokaw read to us for half an hour in the evenings. I was aware when big global events happened, but they werent in your face 24/7. I knew there was a gas crisis and sat in our car reading while we waited to fill up our tank on the days were were allowed to. They'd ration gas and had "even" or "odd" days when you could fill up based on the last number on your license plate. I knew about the Iran hostage crisis because we all put yellow ribbons on our tree trunks to show we were thinking of the hostages.
My family was all military or military adjacent so they were patriotic. But their version of patriotic meant they were very pro-civil rights. They were "live and let live" people. They taught us to recognize discrimination and speak against it. They were very socially conscious. They really believed in "all men are created equal" and in the American Dream for everybody.
It's kind of surreal being GenX. So much has changed in my lifetime. Good and bad. Things were absolutely not perfect in the 70s, 80s and 90s. And like i said, i think most nostalgia for those times was just missing our youth. But I do feel like we all still had hope then. There just always seemed to be a sliver of optimism in how we viewed our possible future even when things weren't great. Back then we thought the future was what we saw on Star Trek. That we'd overcome war and greed and ignorance.
I guess we really were naive.
yourmomdotbiz@reddit
This is really beautiful . Thank you for taking the time to write it! I can relate to some of it, as an elder millennial. Not many choices on tv but we didn’t notice or care, I had a tiny stream next to my house so I felt that!
Idk if it’s being naive, but. Whatever it was, gave me the optimism to pursue things I would never have bothered with now in these conditions. Sometimes a false belief can carry you further in the best way. I feel bad for gen alpha honestly. Like what are they inheriting? It’s sad
cogwheeled@reddit
Thank you for reading it! Yeah, I worry about the younger generations a lot. The world they were born into has become a dystopia for anyone but the wealthy. Everything is so expensive and polarized and sensationalized these days. You never get a moments peace from the chaos and I think its making us all insane. I mean, its making me insane but at least I have a memory of what the world was like without all the noise.

It sounds stupid and irrational and cartoony but it’s genuinely how trump operates. He’s a big baby, always has been. Constantly needs validation, probably because his parents didn’t love him. Obama having a peace prize and Biden beating him in an election absolutely eats away at him
Agent_8-bit@reddit
His presidency is just a parade of dopamine for a historically fragile and historically obese ego.

Yes, our political system has failed, because it developed with and alongside a failed economic system that will probably make us nearly extinct within the next thousand years.

Nah not really. It always takes time. Its not like they get all get a message over their radios the second the negotiators hang up the phone
GTCapone@reddit
Hah, that's almost exactly what happened in Afghanistan when we agreed to a ceasefire with the Taliban. I was at one of the CENTCOM staff offices when that happened. They almost totally halted attacks overnight. When the Intel guys came to brief us I pointed out that if the Taliban were able to coordinate a ceasefire so easily, obviously our decapitation strikes hadn't worked. Their response was along the lines of "yep, pretty much"

Well most of their chain of command has been killed, then their replacements were killed, and then those replacements were killed; so it might take a few minutes to figure out how to tell whoever’s left to tell that they need to tell whoever they have left to tell their men that’s there’s a ceasefire.

Agreed, the leaders probably don't care... But they do care about the dad, kid, and wife lost to the current leader. And the damage done to their infrastructure.
The Iranian people care about the schoolgirls, however. At least I believe they are like us. Despise the ones in charge, love their families, and are just trying to make it day by day while rich evil men play with our lives like it's Risk.
Horat1us_UA@reddit
Yeah, but Iranian people don’t make the decision. You are trying to apply democracy logic to religious dictatorship. If leadership want to make deal there is no one to stop them there

Oh for sure. I was saying there might be a reason personal to the current regime, that's not the school girls. They also killed the family of the current leader.

02meepmeep@reddit
“Moments after the news came through about Donald Trump accepting a two week ceasefire, missile warning sirens sounded across Israel.
That was followed very soon after by a massive explosion over Jerusalem.
I feel like I've said this too many times during this war, but that was the biggest boom I've heard in Jerusalem in my time deployed here.
The entire ABC bureau shook from what I can only assume was an interception by Israel's air defence systems over the holy city.”

It’s quite common in the middle east to continue to send missiles until the official start of the ceasefire. I remember it happening a lot in Gaza. We don’t know when the official start of the ceasefire is, 8PM ET was just Trump’s attack deadline, not necessarily the ceasefire one.

GhostIsAlwaysThere@reddit
Nah. Nothing but double talk and BS from Iran.
Don’t get me wrong. Trump is a moron, the war is dumb. We are (American policy) fucking up. But to say that Iran is any match for our military might is absurd. Our military budget is almost 1 trillion dollars, number two is China at 300 million.
It’s all bullshit especially the US doing what we are doing. To say that Iran in any way is winning g anything is wrong.
exMemberofSTARS@reddit
Iran has proven that they can control America even with an inferior military. They litetally made Trump back down. He is considering giving them everything they want. Reparations for the damage done to Iran. A toll to pass through the straight. Literally worse for America in every way than before Trump started this. There is no way to claim Iran didnt school Trump completely.

ndw_dc@reddit
I don't have any insight into the Iranian side, but from the American and Israeli side it's because they were running dangerously low on interceptor missiles and the American side especially was worried about the price of oil. They are hoping this will calm the markets while giving them time to restock their interceptors.
But I think it takes much longer than that to build new interceptor missiles, so I think in the long run Iran still has the upper hand.
Aggravating-Zone8489@reddit

ZmajevaMuda@reddit
US got largest oil reserves in the world now
The war is to increase oil price which helps US pay off huge debt and also helps Russia (remember Trump Putin Alaska meeting)
Im not American, but I believe with 6000-8000$ salaries fuel cost is 1-5% of your monthly costs
l3ahram@reddit
It is obvious you are not American, the higher oil price makes the oil companies executive richer and normal people just pay higher prices.
ZmajevaMuda@reddit
Yeah Im European, but wouldnt higher oil prices make American oil exports competitive on global stage even with higher labor costs hence decreasing public debt as they prolly tax those oil companies?

Reserves. We refine enough oil but we dont pump enough. Also to build the capacity to pump enough oil will take years. Alot can happen in that time.

For context, the actual decision of a “go and no go” sometimes comes down at the last hour and even then it’s communicated sometimes to a handful people that’s close to the actual mission. We’re hoping congressional approval or block happens here before things pop off. With the guy at the top you never know what’s gonna happen.

Sadly, Trump doesnt look worse. He has no moral bottom and has proven he has no limit to his manipulative behavior.

The USA on the other hand looks down right wretched as the people who supposedly hold the power sit by and make memes because we are terrified of the reprocussions of fighting this autoritarian regime.

It’s easy to sit back and call the country “wretched” while doing nothing but venting online.

Traditional-Yak-8665@reddit
Ok sure, but it is naive to think Trump has created the current situation by (or for) himself. He is playing a role that was planned decades ago.
The docile reaction of the population has also been carefully planned and slowly implemented for decades, via social conditioning, collective trauma, chemicals in food and household products and subliminal entertainment.
People who have called this out in the past were either dismissed as crazy conspiracists or silenced by force.

Head_Permission@reddit
You believe trump… really? Nobody believes anything the US or trump says, because literally every time it’s 100% false. Two weeks, everything he does is two weeks because he doesn’t actually have a plan. He doesn’t have a ceasefire. He’s just saying he has a deal so he can back out.

Israel has joined the ceasefire which also covers Lebanon (thank goodness for the Lebanese).
Iran ended their statement saying that, "It is emphasized that this does not signify the termination of the war,” the statement said. “Our hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with full force.” - per AP reporting on their live update page

He literally threatened to wipe an entire civilization off the face of the earth. Taking that statement at face value, because Trump does not joke, the only way to actually do that would be nukes. Iran is more than twice the size of Texas. It's population is almost 100 million people. There's no way of accomplishing that statement at face value with conventional munitions. That's why people are nervous.
He could be bluffing, he could be using hyperbole, but one thing people need to understand is Trump does not make jokes.

Trump TACOs. He looks weak and pathetic. Again. But he can't go back from this. He's threatening to destroy an entire civilization. People will know he's going to taco. He can't go back from that either.
Tomorrow, for Trump, can't go back from today. This has set a path of sorts.
Where it leads we can't know yet.
wzrdjzm@reddit
I think there's a good chance he tacos and extends bullshit deadline. Will claim he's negotiating with who knows who. Iran closed all diplomatic channels. Its all nonsense.
2quickdraw@reddit
He's negotiating with John Barron.
BensenJensen@reddit
I think you’ve nailed it.
Trump’s in way too deep this time. He’s ran his mouth off about this WAY too much.
US does a normal bombing run, no different than what’s already happening.
Trump says that Iran was absolutely decimated, blackouts, oil facilities completely shot. Some titled IRGC goober is dead, the military is scrambling.
Iran comes out and says nothing happened, they fended off the US, the strikes failed to do anything important.
And the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Parulanihon@reddit
Don't take it from me, read up on Sun Tzu's the art of war and other texts. This is common sense throughout generations of strategic negotiations.
Sun Tzu’s The Art of War advocates for winning negotiations without direct conflict by employing superior information, patience, and strategic deception.
Key principles include knowing yourself and your opponent, appearing weak when strong, attacking where they are unprepared, and controlling the process by allowing the opponent to believe they are in control.

HomeSliceArt@reddit
TACO is an acronym for Trump Always Chickens Out, it's used to reference his pattern of making big threats and then backing down from them.
People who say they're hoping for the best in this context are hoping that he will backpedal on his latest threats and maybe try to de-escalate.
Goofygrrrl@reddit
Trump Always Chickens Out. It’s in reference to the fact that Trump doesn’t follow through probably as a result of his severe dementia causing him to forget prior threats

Did Iran really agree to reopening the Strait? I hope not! T doesn't deserve to get any concession bs from them after holding a gun to their head. I hope Iran holds strong. Not that I like pay ng more for gas but I just hate T gettng ng his own way after threatening genocide..
T needs to be 25ed even if he doesn't nuke then tonight. He's terrified the whole world today and he will do it again. We've got to get him out of power before he nukes and genocides people.
Marksta@reddit
You want to personally suffer the consequences of restraint and condemn both the restraint or lack of it all at the same time. Literally invalid opinion.
pink_faerie_kitten@reddit
I'm not condemning restraint, I'm hoping Iran didn't cave about reopening the Strait.
None of this is Iran's fault, they shouldn't have to do a thing T wants just because he demands this. Just like Ukraine shouldn't have to concede land to Russia just to make Russia stop murdering them. Ukraine had held strong on that. I want Iran to stand strong on the Strait.
If a man threatens to kill you, you shouldn't have to agree to letting him rape you instead and act like you need to make that concession to get him to leave you alone. If you have a gun in your purse, you should use it against the threat, not submit to rape.

What do you mean we all won’t exist anymore? Trump would have bombed all of Irans infrastructure and they’re be nothing left for the regime to rule.

It's not that they don't want temporary peace, it's that it's HIGHLY likely anything Trump says is bullshit and being used to facilitate corruption and fuck people up, it's basically all he does.

However our Congress has failed to do the job. They are at home on recess.
Here is a novel idea, immediately seek state indictments against them all. Arrest them at the airports, train stations and any other public place we can find them.
They are all guilty of crimes against the American people, against the constitution and their oats.
Every single one of them.
exhaustedanalyst@reddit
Iran has already stated that they reject a temporary ceasefire and will only accept a permanent end to the conflict.

The ultimate irony is that if Trump essentially 'gave up' today, all the players win.
Israel got their smokescreen to attack Lebanon, all the OPEC nations can rake in HUGE profits from the price spikes, they kick Iran a cool $2 million for each tanker that passes through the straits, and each ship nets $30 million more than it did last year, and Trump can pretend to have 'solved' the Iran issue.
Ignore the facts that Trump has done infinitely more to harm people I care about than every Iranian who ever lived combined, the average person continues to get shitfucked by oil barons and corrupt politicians, and thousands of children were blown up at the whims of a pedophile with dementia.

But:
1- we have a POTUS that has purged the upper echelons of the government and military of anyone who would say “no” or even “let’s talk about this for a minute”.
2- we have a POTUS who has little regard for innocent lives and doesn’t really care about breaking things as long it doesn’t impact his own bottom line.
WillMoonKnives@reddit
This isn't giving enough credit to the service members who I don't think would consent to be party to those war crimes. Not every colonel and major in the military is a sycophantic psychopath hell-bent on committing war crimes and also hand picked by the current president.
flaginorout@reddit
If they were to go this route, they'd simply find an admiral that was a MAGA kool aid drinker, who would find a submarine captain who is also a kool aid drinker.
They wouldn't give this assignment out randomly. To your point, there would be 'some' troops in the CoC who would push back or refuse. But finding some true believers and/or spineless jellyfish wouldn't take very long.
Remember- the people who are pro-war are convinced that Iran will blow up the world the second they get ahold of a nuke. They have been fooled by neocons and Israelis into believing that Iranians/Muslims are some crazed suicide cult. So they'd justify following said orders based on this belief. "We're saving the world from the bogeyman"!!

All of the US's stock of Neutron bombs were dismantled decades ago, largely due to public and international outcry. And classifying the existence of the bombs makes no sense. The entire point of a nuclear deterrent is for your adversaries to know you have them.

Try to stay on the argument. I said how you wipe out a civilization, not how you blow up a bridge.
Ready-Firefighter756@reddit
he was referring to blowing up a bunch of civilian infrastructure homie. try to improve your reading comprehension.
Strong_Letterhead638@reddit
"He never said nuke" doesn’t really address the argument. Mass civilian collapse is still mass civilian collapse, whether it comes from nuclear weapons or the destruction of essential infrastructure.

syynapt1k@reddit
Not nuclear, but the destruction of civilization infrastructure - including desalination plants - is a huge escalation. In addition to being war crimes, it could further destabilize the entire region and have a ripple effect throughout the world.
The United States is digging itself a hole we may never get ourselves out of.

The person in charge wanted to nuke a hurricane in his last term, and people think (rightfully so) that this situation is worse than a hurricane which lets them draw a line between the two.
Plus him saying “bombing you back to the stone ages” and “your civilization will cease to exist” lets people make that mental jump pretty easily.

And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you... that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something."

If the US goes in, then I am putting on my tinfoil hat, and I believe the US/Israelis have set this up. The Israelis get a chaotic middle east where they are easily the dominant player. The US gets its dream of "manifest destiny" & fortress America where countries have to go to the US for oil because everyone is dependent on refined energy. The US refineries would need an overall for US sweeter crude but that is a few years. Watch out Canada because your oil is suitable now.

tots4scott@reddit
You're not wrong but the point is that this is an essentially unheard of threat, Trump is clearly not in capable mental health, (which is not new, and I'm intending this in a serious tone) as well as the fact that there is not much more he can threaten, and Iran is holding their ground. Hegseth has been pushing Christofascist tenets on the military, and has pushed out high ranking lifelong military leaders, who it can be believed were naysayers on at least a ground invasion.
I agree with your first statement though, as long as Vance is in Europe. But in the same vain who knows what Russia is promising them with protection. And then there is the question of what Israel will do as well, or what they want if Trump will say yes to virtually anything, compounded with how Iran has said they will retaliate.
ajx_i@reddit
actually that's a really good point
Magickarpet76@reddit

Heffe3737@reddit
As someone that has studied nuclear strategy and fallout effects for a few years now, I'd say you probably have nothing to worry about.
trump has already stated in the past few days that this deadline won't include a nuke - just bombing of bridges and power plants and infrastructure.
If trump were to nuke Iran, it would likely be the event that leads to the end of humanity as we know it. "One flies and they all fly" is the cold war idiom that's relevant here. If trump fires one off, the US suddenly becomes an existential threat to the survival of the entire species, and would HAVE to be destroyed. Which means that in return, the US would fire all of her nukes as well.
The east coast - if you live in a city, you likely wouldn't be struck directly, unless there was particular reason to hit your city. Say, if you live in DC, that would be problematic. Or if you live near a large military base, etc. Otherwise, there's no reason for anyone to hit the cities - everyone in the cities would be dead in a few months regardless due to lack of supply and logistics failure. If you live in a rural area, you'd be more likely to suffer from radiological fallout. Funny how our society has made all of our hardened targets, such as missile silos, rail terminals, etc., out in the rural areas, which would require ground strikes to destroy.
In short, it's either not going to happen at all, or we're all going to die. Huge thanks to folks that voted for this lunacy.
mothercrisp@reddit
Are you actually concerned of a nuclear incident affecting the east coast?
Flowerdriver@reddit
YES!! and I'm in Oklahoma!
mothercrisp@reddit
Why though?
Rymnarr@reddit
Modern day nukes are hydrogen fusion bombs. They don't really have fallout. Or so I've been told. The small amount of radioactive material is only used to produce xrays which trigger a fusion reaction that blasts out a lot more energy without the waste in nuclear materials not being used up. Though I could be entirely wrong. Just trying to be hopeful.

the next step has always been boots on the ground, in some form. i cant see why this wouldnt be our big push to do so.

It’s probably gonna happen. I don’t think it’ll be nukes but at a certain point they will hit the “sunk cost” stage and just send it.

Robofetus-5000@reddit
Im hoping im right but I don't think israel wants a nuke that close to them. It also destroys the entire oil infrastructure that trump seems to believe he has some sort of claim to.

Educational-Chair563@reddit
If you want to put a decent finger on what may or may not happen ask yourself: if you’re Trump, what does an acceptable off ramp look like. Then ask yourself, what demands has Iran set up for an off ramp (not blaming them) and are those demands something that would benefit Trump. That can give you a decent idea of what to believe versus not

Pretty mixed signals depending upon where you look. Sounds like Pakistan, Saudi, and Turkey are working their contacts on both sides to get a two week cease fire. The Pakistani representatives have been very positive on the chances of an agreement but that's all anyone is going in on.

17m ago 17.43 EDT Cecilia Nowell Federal security agencies say that Iranian hackers have begun cyber-attacks aimed at water and energy systems in the United States hours after Donald Trump threatened “every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again.”
In a joint statement, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency and the Energy Department said hackers backed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had begun cyber-attacks on US power infrastructure.

Saturn_winter@reddit
jeremy scahill: A senior Iranian official told me that this proposal floated by the Pakistani PM for a temporary ceasefire is essentially the same as previous Trump attempts, which Iran has rejected. Iran has already delivered its terms for negotiating an end to the war.
“A balanced proposal, endorsed by all mediators, has already been conveyed to the American side,” the official said. “Washington now has at its disposal all the elements required to reach a decision that will bring an end to the war.”
Iran’s position is that it has offered a reasonable path forward to end the war & says it remains open to negotiations with the U.S. But it says it will not accept ultimatums. If a deal happens imminently or in the near future, Iran says it will be because its bottom lines are met.
Ornery-Sheepherder74@reddit
Right. People saying a deal is coming are quite naive
Saturn_winter@reddit
I'm still expecting a "negotiations are going well" TACO but no cease fire or deal
Miserable_Ad9529@reddit
Im calling it. There are apparently negotiations with Pakistan so Rump has an out. They will drag it out over the next couple hours and then BOOM! A deal. He will shit out a triumphant Tweet and the markets will bounce back bigly so tomorrow he can look like a hero to those still up his ass.
Chaiteoir@reddit
This is by far the most likely outcome. Nuclear weapons don't exist in a vacuum and Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Pakistan and India would have to deal with fallout and radiation. Look at the wind patterns in the Persian Gulf, they're moving right over Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE from the north.

I'm basing this assertion on the fact that, whenever possible, he tries to position himself to fail upwards. He will blame the Dems for negotiation failures somehow (e.g. they wont do a deal bc im being impeached!), then it's just up to Elon/Murdoch/etc to carry his water.
