Remarkable how wrong concerns over escalation/major conflict have been from the moment Israel attacked Iran, and at every subsequent step. To say that wouldn’t have been my expectation is understating it dramatically.
idk man we don’t still have formal confirmation from either government and trump has a long history of just saying some shit. until iran announces their end of it i’m not buying anything
Right, it seems pretty obvious that this whole saga depends on if Iran's nuclear program got majorly disrupted or not. If not, it was an insane risk for no benefit.
For immediate conflict, yes, but I think concerns about longer term risks are still valid. We are in a worse nonproliferation position (depending on what damage assessments one relies on), and not just with regard to Iran.
We will see I guess. A ceasefire is not the same as the end of a war. It started via surprise attack in the middle of negotiations with the US so anything is possible.
On Saturday night I literally said to my mother, "Iran's going to fire some missiles and that'll be that." My back is sore from all the patting I've been doing to it today.
Lol. Dawg, we're a week into this. We might want to give it a few more before we declare all to be done and over. Wild to see how many people now treating Trump and his admin as reliable resources all of a sudden.
I think it'll come down to what Netanyahu wants to do. I haven't heard anything about word from Israel on a cease-fire, and they're the ones with an interest and firepower to back it up. Although sanity from BiBi's been notably lacking recently.
The whole thing reeks of BS. Who gives a heads up when they’re about to attack?!? And this is the 2nd time that Iran has done so. The whole thing feels staged.
I kinda don't see how this is sustainable for the Iranian government. if you can get kicked around by the US and Israel and fold without substantive retaliation, what does the populace actually get for putting up with you?
