"Targets included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to emplace mines. U.S. Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire."

The strikes come just hours after Trump said negotiations with Iran were "proceeding nicely."

This is it, the reckoning we have all suspected was on the way. The inevitable backlash of all America’s sins consolidated under one presidency. One violent, insular ignoramus to rule them all. A completely dysfunctional government laid bare for all to see. Decades of “full spectrum dominance” brought to its inevitable end. No nation has ever existed solely by the power of it’s military dominance. Every nation that has attempted to do so has fallen.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

The man has had a stroke, his face sags on one side unmistakably. Maybe it's time to stop pretending that everything is okay? Swear Vance in and be done with the charade. It's humiliating

Maybe we can take a break from 80-year-olds for a time. Is that communism?

Great Depression later this year.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And this moron was just bragging about how they reached an agreement with Iran to dispose of their uranium in the deal and this master negotiator just literally blew it up.

Moron and the morons that voted for the moron...

Anyone who thinks President JD Vance is going to end the the war is going to get rug pulled harder than folks holding the HawkTuhaCoin bags.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 10 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

I have no illusion things will get better under the other motherfucker. I just want things to get worse for that one motherfucker.

Did the Pumpkinhead even have any deal?

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 24 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Every week is like groundhog day. Trump declares victory, claims that peace talks are underway, and then they drop more bombs, without any deal being reached.

It amazes me that there are still people gullible enough to believe that this isn't another forever war for us and that gas isn't going back down any time soon.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

It's only a forever war is we don't remove the motherfuckers who refuse to stop him.

November may be our last chance. I know not everyone here loves the Dems, but they really are our only hope at this point, and we need to support them in the general election.

[–] TrippingBalls@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It dropped 5% for the holiday weekend. Never seen that happen before. The art of the deal

There's a sucker born every minute and 30+% of the population still think he's a good president

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It dropped 5% for the holiday weekend.

Off an 80% spike since the year started.

30+% of the population still think he’s a good president

As a person in the O&G industry, I regret to say he's good for me. My salary/bonus is fully outrunning inflation. Nevermind the compound stock gains juicing my 401k.

Trump's still shit in my book. But if I started out a Republican, why would I object to any of this shit?

A Global Crusade Against The Wretched Islam, ballooning profits, violent police actions against all those horrible minorities we don't like, that cool new ballroom, kidnapping the president of Venezuela, our SCOTUS is rigging the next election, what's not to love?

[–] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

O&G was booming under Biden as well though? Like the endless expansion in the Permian Basin was going full throttle, just with a least some oversight. The companies weren't even drilling all their leases because they didn't want to drop the price of oil.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, but what if it was booming EVEN MORE? Checkmate athiest....

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 28 points 17 hours ago (6 children)

I'm seeing in the billionaire-owned media that they were "self-defense" strikes. SMH.

I thought all the boats were sunk?

Hmmm, something seems fishy here. Either we didn't sink their navy, or we are blowing up fishing boats, or both I guess. good job

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

"The report also claimed that US officials had privately told Iran that Trump’s public statements were largely intended for domestic political and media audiences in the United States and should not be interpreted as reflecting the substance of ongoing discussions."

Granted, bias can come from any source, but still. Nobody is jumping up to refute it on the US side either. But if it is true, he's been talking bullshit from the beginning, shocking nobody.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

But if it is true, he's been talking bullshit from the ~~beginning~~ moment he could speak, shocking nobody.

[–] droniecarp@lemmy.zip 56 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

What's most fucked up about this is it is strictly 100% about manipulating the markets and making money, that's it.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

And that it happens every fucking Tuesday.

Any media that's pretending to be honest needs to, if they're going to quote Trump, either precede or proceed the quote with a disclaimer that he lies about everything. That's basic integrity. Otherwise, you're becoming the media that's complicit.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

I would settle with them giving the full quote completely in context. The only reason Trump has gotten so far is the media sane washing everything he says and adding whatever spin the talking heads want to it.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Any media that’s pretending to be honest

Honest is just another word for Woke.

We'll have none of it

[–] RanryuuRain@sh.itjust.works 19 points 17 hours ago

Expecting any other behavior at this point is light-years beyond foolish. The word of the president has been proven useless time and time again. He has made it now impossible to deal with the US, as any deals are subject to be altered at his petty whims. We saw this with the tariffs and we will continue to see it.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 34 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

Isn’t pretending to have peace talks while bombing them a war crime or something

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 7 hours ago

"Perfidy" I think is the term for it

Even if he did, this asshole thinks that things on the global stage work like they did when he was running "deals" for his dad's shitty real-estate company.

So very out of his depth.
