    Why do they even bother calling a cease fire?

    They must make money off of it somehow, some sort of insider trading rug pull

      It was less than an hour…

      The ceasefire included Lebanon, and I’m pretty sure Israel just kept firing thru the ceasefire start, then just lied and said it didn’t include Lebanon.

      trump wants this to be “his war” but the truth is Bibi just dragged him (and us) into it. And he has no interest in peace.

      So trump has no power to “end” this war, the absolute best he can do is just leave and hope that eventually Iran decides to open the straite up.

      But he has no negotiating power, because there’s nothing he can do to stop Israel

        Nobody dragged the US in. We’ve had civilian leadership itching to attack Iran since '79.

        Netanyahu simply threw the first punch, convinced their Iron Dome made them impervious to consequences. Americans piled in fully of their own accord.

        Iran kept firing rockets as Israel after announcing the ceasefire, before Israel’s big attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon.

    Over the last 14 months at least one country in the world should have learned that lesson. Trump, and therefore the USA, is completely untrustworthy. It’s why I don’t care how much or little Carney is doing about CUSMA. We know Trump will make whatever deal he wants and then disregard it the next day if that is what he wants then. Why waste time pretending to negotiate?
