Bibi Snookered Trump. Iran Wins, Mostly, Maybe Not

 From the flapjaw on the 'net today, it appears that Israel lied effectively, and dragged the US into another bomb-dropping exercise in Iran.

Iran--no matter Trump's spin--set the terms for an armistice, and those terms favor Iran, not Israel.

Further, the 'net expects Hegseth to be fired. 

Politico makes a fool of itself by its claim that the SCOWI race had to do with Iran/Trump. 

ADDED:  See this video, wherein Vance states flatly that Lebanon was NOT part of the cease-fire deal, and that there are THREE "10-point plans" circulating, at least 2 of which are not genuine or realistic.

Give up yet?

Watch the above video in the first comment
Israel is killing blocks of Christian apartment. Buildings and Christians are dying.

They are attacking Christians directly

“We need to detach from Israel immediately.”

That means getting rid of Trump NOW. Are you on board? Are you about AmericaFirst?

Hmmmmm

Wasn’t the object of the war to open shipping? Surber misses that point.

The drones prevented us from using our carriers?

Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left “News” Organizations, are “hailing” them, and giving them “positive” press for the first time in their lives. They’re not “MAGA,” they’re losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don’t return their calls because I’m too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go “nasty,” just like Marjorie “Traitor” Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country. MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE “HOTTEST” COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DONALD J. TRUMP

hmmm, Is Tucker right when he said the war will stop when China wants it to stop?

Voxday seems to agree with Tucker:

.....POTUS, the Drooling Baboon of Barbaria, confronted with the inevitable, dire consequences of his own strategic blunder, used Pakistan for his off-ramp. That was confirmed by another epic blunder by the Pakistani Prime Minister himself: he forgot to remove the header of the tweet/X post drafted by the White House for him to publish.

The current Pakistani regime – de facto led by Field Marshall Asim Munir, who has Trump on speed dial – may have profited, and will continue to geopolitically profit, from a unique status: a Muslim nuclear nation with a significant Shi’ite minority; good relations with the GCC; neighbor of Iran, enjoying good relations; signed a defense pact with Saudi Arabia; a strategic partner of China; no US bases on its soil.

But Islamabad was always a mere go-between, never the architect of any “mediation”. Whatever obfuscation coming from the White House, it was China that had to clinch the lineaments of a possible détente.......

Yah, I've seen that speculation too. Of note in one version: Russia AND the US benefit from the oil problem. China and almost everyone else is in pain from the oil problem. And Russia is not sweet on China, never has been.

So what if it was China negotiating.

Vance Lied to World; In Fact, Trump White House Saw, Gave Input On and Edited Pakistani Ceasefire Document Pre-Publication—and It Clearly Included a Ceasefire in Lebanon.

This confirms Netanyahu told Trump to f— himself and Trump assented. The mystery over what he has on Trump grows.
