Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

      Toddler logic:

      Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.

      People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.

      He doesn’t want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.

      Don’t forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it’s his bread and butter and he’s running this show.

      The war won’t end while trump is in office.

        I know Bibi is running the country lika a dictator, but has he really cancelled any elections? As far as I can tell, since 2000 there have been Knesset elections 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 (again), 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the next one expected in October this year.

        Doesn’t sound like there have been any cancellations, considering the members serve four-year terms, however, there have been plenty of early elections.

        Can you clarify what you meant by him having cancelled Israeli elections?

          They don’t have regular elections, they can happen as often as every year.

          Bibi has cancelled due to “war” since 2022, and while there is an election scheduled this year, that has been true for every year since 2022 as well.

          Edit:

          And the reason they happened twice in 19, then three years in a row is because a lot of Israel blames Bibi for all of this…

          Very very slim wins for his parties and his alliance keeps fracturing. If he wasn’t canceling elections,the wouldn’t be in charge.

          And as soon as he’s not in charge, his corruption trial starts and he’s clearly guilty. Like there’s a shit ton of evidence, he will be found guilty.

          It’s a lot more fucked up than people think, there’s a lot of propaganda from all sides that want to make it seem like Bibi has the support of every Israeli, when it’s more like America and trump.

            Right, so if I understand correctly the Knesset has voted to have an early election several times since 2022, but Bibi has vetoed those decisions to stay in power?

            Still, I’d be more hopeful this year since the four years are up and I’d assume it’s not as easy to cancel a mandatory election than an early election. At least I hope so.

      AFAIK the ceasefire ever existing was a myth? Trump just kinda declared it without anyone else agreeing and then everyone kept shooting anyway, Trump included.

    Y’all are missing the point of saying it’s not a resumption. Of course it is. But they have to lie. If they admit they’re resuming, it means they’re in violation of the war powers act by going past 60 days. I expect the next lie will be that actually, this is a totally new military operation and the clock has reset.

      And when they need to justify the war they claim we’ve been at war with Iran for 47 years.

      Each lie is made for each argument or question they are addressing and does not need to be consistent with prior lies.

      They were already in violation of the War Powers Resolution/Act when they started the war (not a defensive operation), but now they are even more in violation.

      I can’t wait for Iran to release another series of satellite pics of even more expensive pedophile assets being turned into smoking craters.

    At some point, words still need to mean SOMETHING so at least a transfer of information happens. At this rate, by next year they’ll be down to pointing and grunting.

    Sundowning Preznit Fuckwit is bigly mad because the trumpstein files are being brought up again.

    There. That is why bombs are being dropped. Because a pedo doesn’t like when you shame his child raping activities.

    “CENTCOM confirms Iranian forces fired on U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz.”

    I wonder why US ships transiting the strait
