    Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward Israel in what has been described as the most serious violation of the ceasefire reached in early April

    The ceasefire where Israel never ceased firing? That one? And firing a barrage of missiles is the most serious violation of it? Not the day-after-day brutal attacks and murders of Palestinians and Lebanese?

    Fuck this media.

    People who call the shots usually don’t have to go around telling people that they call the shots.

    The simply do the thing.

    The fact that he’s even addressing it at all says that’s absolutely not true.

    Trump’s remarks came shortly after Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward Israel in what has been described as the most serious violation of the ceasefire reached in early April, sharply escalating tensions across the region.

    The sheer balls to claim one side can “violate a ceasefire” like they should still abide by it when the other side dont

    Uhuh… how did that go with Lebanon? Or Syria? Or Judea-Samaria? Or the UAE when they assassinated leaders? Or Iran? If I recall correctly, Trump told them to ‘Fucking not.’ and said he will decide and Netanyahu ignored him and went ahead to do it anyways. What is he going to do? Invade a nuclearly-armed chemical weapons-armed country with second-strike capabilities and an Intelligence Agency proven they are willing strike in the West? It is frankly pathetic Trump thinks he can do anything to stop them. Especially when Russia would flip on a dime to take over for the State of Israel in the United Nations if the United States of America truly went against them because Russia only cares about power, not neccessarily who is their ally. Trump speaks a big game and then cannot back it up. Is he strong? That depends if you think bombing countries into oblivion and back is strong. Is he actually able to project power? HAH! Russia, China, India, Israel, and the European Union walks all over him and laughs at him not only behind closed doors, but to his face! He could not even stop the war in Ukraine, could not stop the war in Gaza, could not stop China projecting power further into Europe and posturing against Taipei, and could not tariff India into submission as he realised they are too large and powerful to be blackmailed into submission. All he can do is mess with United Kingdom because Starmer is a weak coward who cannot stand up to Trump and is bullied into submission. Trump cannot even keep his ‘most important promises’, much less call the shots for a nation that produces their own weapons, phased out reliance on the Iron Dome to the Iron Beam, has an Intelligence Agency that rivals the C.I.A., and recently turned down ALL future aid from the United States of America as they did in the 1980s and before since they realise relations between the West and the State of Israel are faltering. Anyone who knows the situation on the ground can see that as they hedge their bets to the Russo-Sino-Indo sphere and other parts of the Far East. But yeah! Trump can TOTALLY control Israel, right guys?! 😉 Laughable. Gosh… his posturing just makes him sound like a pissbaby. 🤣
