Iran..

I miss when we had an excellent President. Obama really destroyed Trump's whole premise in this interview.

I don't know if combat operations will resume or not, but even if it is settled peacefully tonight, we will have a watered down deal worse than we already had...

So Trump announced he called off the resumption of strikes planned for tommorrow. Did they even put out a statement that strikes were planned to resume tommorrow? He seemed confident a deal would be made by tommorrow despite the other day both sides saying they were too far apart? This is one of the most disorganized wars and ceasefires of all time...

Probably true……. But I can assure you FDR wasn’t putting out daily tweets to be analyzed by Gandler. Trump’s instability can be an asset. Iran probably has no idea what to prepare for.

Well that is my point, then simply don't tweet anything.

But, hyper posting tweets constantly and making random statements to the press constantly, with a hodgepodge of information that contradicts each other is silly. And, please don't say this is 4d chess and a big PR game, and Trump is owning the narrative, he is simply not.

I don't think Trump has an idea what to prepare for.


I have a suspicion, Trump wants out of the war ASAP. But, is terrified to take a deal that makes him look weak (like how Gandler has been saying for months he will just end up signing a carbon copy of Obama deal, maybe even a worse version...) So Trump is looking for a way to avoid more war and get a good deal. Good luck to him. Trump is already pivoting on uranium stocks.

My guess is whatever deal is signed, Iran will still have a civil nuclear power program. If they get to control Hormuz, and get some money released, that would be quite something, we shall see. This deal will not the legendary "Obama Deal Slayer," that you guys have been claiming the last 10 years, Gandler is sure of that. If it is even close to as good as Obama's deal Trump will be lucky.

He believed his own-and Bbi's-propaganda. And now we have another war in Asia.

Trump has a deal in hand that he allegedly likes. And, it already sounds pathetic. Release of funds to Iran as compensation for damage (lol imagine if this was in Obama's deal...) End of blockade, and reduction (maybe removal,) of many sanctions. And, maybe keep some of the uranium, they just need to pinky promise not to build weapons (nuclear weapons is obviously what I mean when I say "weapons" in this context to the moron here that like to fixate on this term...)

I can't wait to see what sham deal he desperately tries to push through today. Trump seems terrified to resume the conflict...

Quote:

tracked by media outlets like Axios indicates that President Donald Trump has publicly claimed or signaled at least 12 distinct times that a deal to end the U.S.–Iran war is imminent or actively being finalized.

Almost like a guy talking to his creditors. "The check is in the mail."

Trump is so weird with his "firm" timelines....

First it is touted how he cancelled the strikes today. He said ""I was an hour away from making the decision to go today...". An hour from "making a decision?". What does that even mean? ....


Now he is saying the ceasefire is extended to allow Iran to present a deal "maybe 2 maybe 3 days maybe even until Friday or Saturday, maybe even until sometime next week, we will see.....".

So how long does Iran have to present an acceptable deal? What does this even mean?

Trump either has no understanding of time or he is being deliberately obtuse to avoid committing to a precise timeline.

"House Republicans on Thursday abruptly canceled a vote to halt the Iran war that would likely have passed, avoiding a political embarrassment to President Donald Trump but causing an uproar on the House floor."

My suspicion is they are delaying, really hoping it will get resolved by next week and they won't have to vote against Trump.
