He's now ended 38 wars, and now he'll get the chance to end another. If this doesn't get him the Nobel, nothing will.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I guess Iran was serious about their demands huh?
Interesting that it's Israel breaking it though rather than the US. If the US wants the strait open but Israel doesn't care, where does that leave them?
The US provides Israel with all of their weapons, gives them billions in cash, and provides defense for them. The US can just take all of that away and Israel would crumble instantly. They have cards to play to reign in Israel but they choose not to use them.
Interesting that it's Israel breaking it
Not very surprising, though.
They already said that they didn't approve of this latest agreement.
Even when they approve things they still breach it
They've been non stop "ceasefiring" on ~~Lebanon~~ Hezbollah until Hezbollah retaliated and immediately Israel cried the terrorists are attacking! They broke the ceasefire! We are victims in all this. I believed that's when israel tried to put boots on the ground and the squad or whatever got fucked up. This shits been going for so long it all blurs together. Sorry if I got the events wrong.
Hey even trigger fingers get tired after a few million firings.
It leaves them bent over like beggars under sacks.
America seems pretty willing to bend over for Israel currently
Or for anyone really. Anyone in a position of strength that is. That's the art of the deal, try to bully the weak or bend over otherwise.
Israel is not really an independent country from the US. Israel is just an unofficial American territory.
Israel already said they weren't recognizing the deal and they weren't leaving Lebanon, so the real question is what is Trump willing to do to about Israel to make that ceasefire stick? Historically not a lot, but that relationship does seem to be chafing a lot recently.
Trump will capitulate to his master, no worries.
Which one? He seems to have so many these days, but none of them are the American electorate.
It's the fight of the century!
Israeli Blackmail vs. Russian Kompromat!
LET'S GET READY TO CRRRRRUMBLE!
Russia would be on the same side as Israel on this because if the Strait is closed they can sell their Oil for more money.
they have compromisig material on him
Vance has already made strong and well crafted statements criticizing Israel, basically outflanking the Democrats to the left - who are still as a whole unwilling to criticize Israel in any meaningful way.
$300 billion to Isreal is the answer /s
so the real question is what is Trump willing to do to about Israel to make that ceasefire stick?
I'm sure he'll find a way to blame Biden or Obama for this.
I mean yeah Israel is still occupying and ethnically cleansing Lebanon.
So sick of 'ethnically cleansing' (nothing personal), so sanitized, even genocide is usually out of context. How about we go back to 'mass murderers' and 'war criminals'?
Except that is by definition what Israel is doing in Lebanon they are destroying the villages there and expelling the population especially the Muslim population and they are not hiding this in the slightest.
You seem to think "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" are euphemisms compared to "mass murder", but it's the other way around.
Not quite sure what 'euphemisms compared to' means here.
IMO “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide” are categories of mass murder, “ethnic cleansing” being mass murder targeted to cultural background (with elements of displacement and cultural destruction making it more than just murder) , genocide to race. I would also suggest that the terms are very often misused in propagandist ways in mass media, leading to dilution and mutation of the meanings.
I merely argue that it's the murder part that is the greatest harm, and the reasons why, while relevant, are secondary. I would like to put the focus back on the murder part, whether state sanctioned or not.
I like to think that a vast majority think killing people is wrong, while once you bring politics and reasons and abstractions into it people will distract themselves at that level from the actual killing and destruction that they would prefer not to face.
I had a moment of frustration and expressed it swiftly and poorly.
Doesn't really encapsulate what is happening. Every war the US has been a part of since WWII has objectively made every single US politician and military member a mass murderer and war criminal. Every single one. Only a few were ever a genocidier or could claim ethnic cleansing.
It's important to have that difference, especially when communicating outside of anti-imperialist bubbles, i.e. if you need to gain support for actual change amongst a populace who see members of the US military as 'heroes' or some other similar nonsense.
Makes sense I guess, not a USian myself, thankfully, and have less need of doublespeak. Personally I just think of them all as subcategories of 'mass murderer', including 'legal' wars and especially those who instigate them, although I concede the waters can be murky there.
No doublespeak what else would you call mass expulsions of a population and destruction of the villages to make room for settlements of your ethnicity.
Seriously y'all I think I might be developing precog abilities.
Cause this seemed like the only possible thing that could have happened.
Israel is the good guy here, they're prolonging the war so we can keep trading the TACOs on the stock market like all the other big players. The longer it goes on, the better your precog abilities get, the more money you can earn.
Good thing the markets are closed, I guess.
Each time the war "ends" and "starts" again is another chance for FIFA peace prize to end another war!!! 37.5 wars ended and counting... nobody ever ends wars like I end wars that I start that I end! Strong muscle people are saying this with many mouths!!!
I am flabbergasted
In a row?
