Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Let's get you to bed, Diaper Don..
going full Putin ?
This feels more “Full Netanyahu” to me. Putin is calculating and cold. Netanyahu seems to have a flair for cruelty.
Both of the other guys are fairly intelligent though.
I'm not sure if he's really thought this one through.
Doesn't look like he's left himself a lot of wiggle room to back down.
I don't think Iran is going to comply.
edit: I kinda wonder why Iran isn't pushing a lot harder to manipulate public opinion. Fake photos of petrol prices. Rumours of fuel shortages. Rumours about the Trump family profiting somehow. Rumours that Bibi was going to release unredacted Epstein Kompromat. Plans to draft people for war in Iran. Even the dems could be doing this really.
It does not need to be fake photos. The financial cost is real, a trump is blatant about his family corruption.
Even if there was a media campaign the USA is a controlled media, so it wouldn’t be shown, if it did people would either forgive it because USA is always a winner attitude or they would disassociate blame AI etc.
You had citizens being shot and that was not enough to provoke a turn around.
I kinda wonder why Iran isn't pushing a lot harder to manipulate public opinion.
They do. I have seen public statements by Iranian officials, and even memes (mostly AI), here on lemmy.
But they're mostly in Parsi and Arabic, since that's the audience they care about. Iran is trying to end the US threat against them, which probably means removing US bases in the Middle East and getting the Gulf powers on their side. So they don't talk about rising fuel prices, they talk about Palestine, the massacre of the schoolgirls, and freedom in general.
Add it to the pile over there... gestures out of the window to a heap that closely resembles mount Everest
And so shortly after he fooled so many with his latest ‘winding down’ statement.
He plays 3D checkers, bro.
(Not a single person on earth believed that fat old evil stupid fuck when he said that.)
So I have a crackpot theory.....
The Mueller tweet and now this, I'm starting to actually believe this isn't Trump at all, and this is a team conspiring to 25th him and give them an out of the Iran situation.
Like "ok, we admit it he's gone nuts, so whoopsie and Iran don't worry we will make this right so let's just settle down now"
Yea I know I would totally trust a country that killed my family, continues to bomb me, and murdered a school full of kids simply because "whoopsie doopsie the guy running the show was out of his mind"
They can but Iran isnt going to back down for a promise.
Omg. I read that at first as “Tran’s power plant”. If there was such a thing — he’d attack it.
Son of a bitch..
