Someone else said it on here before but: The best outcome to this would be Trump hanging out Israel to dry in the quagmire they facilitated. Just separate peace out. Trump might just do it, he was fucked with, knows it and hates it.
Wishful thinking, I know, but imagine.
A cease fire that excludes Israel is very likely IMO. Trump has been visibly desperate to get the fuck out of this war. But Israel will do anything to keep the war going.
The US will keep arming Israel in a rocket war with Iran but Iran might start calling foul if the US does any interceptions itself.
I guess we'll see just how much leverage the Zionists have over Trump. The smartest move politically would be to throw whoever talked him into this under the bus and say he was deceived and will go back to doing "America First" shit. He could win back a big part of his base that way. Although his family's financial dealings with the Zionist entity and in the Arab states might mean he is in too deep to quit.
I generally think people exaggerate Israel's say in foreign policy (vs aligned goals, unsinkable aircraft carrier, etc.), but Mossad would fucking kill him if he did that.
This means the reports of US accepting Iran's terms are true because Israel always intensifies attacks before ceasefire deadlines
Before, during, even sometimes after, somehow. Hell, if an IDF commander (age 19) even thinks there's a possibility of a ceasefire hard enough he'll double the day's salvo.
Thats what they do, attack during ceasefires.
I reiterate my point that Israeli bloodlust is a hell of a drug
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link.

Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
