there's a joke lurking in there about "second hand missiles" but I cant construct it right now.

They’re already probably sending weapons to the terrorists through some channel

There's no probably about it. Traore has said as much.

Glad you are ok. How are things looking over there? Like scale of 1-10 how normal are things?

any chance Iran allowed this as a face saving gesture for trump? Like america can say "we did our part" and now Iran and isisrael can finish their biz without any more involvement?

This was only ever stated by isisrael. There was little to no evidence that they hit more than one radar dish.

Furthermore if israel felt like Iran was vulnerable to attack there is no reason israel would have stopped at one bombing run. If Iran felt it had lost its defensive capabilities that would be an existential threat and they would have had no choice to make decisive strikes.

Its a 90 day pause. So if China stonewalls the negotiations then Trump is going to look like a yo-yo. And new tariffs would come back on just in time for the shelves to be emptied by christmas retail season.

This could end up better than trump just backing down.

Russia's whole strategy has been playing trump against the neo-conservatives clinging to american hegemony.

Keeping it quiet allows trump when confronted, to blame it on rogue cia, neo-cons, and europeans which will further the divide between them.

If Russia goes public then trump has to deny it (or look like he isn't in control) which pushes him closer to the people who hate Russia.

Going public would also make Indian and Pakistani leaders look like chumps for falling for such a simple ploy whereas keeping the secret allows them look like good leaders who are able to stop the violence and negotiate.

My gut feeling : Russia and China sent intelligence reports proving the initial attack was organized by the west and they convinced Modi to calm down.

rule over the remainder with an iron lung?

This made me laugh.

I don't Think trump is trying to become a dictator. I think trump truly believes in the invisible hand of the market. He's fallen for the propaganda that "the problem with Capitalism is that it's never been tried. Governments are always getting in the way. If we just let go and allow the market to be free to self regulate all the problems will go away."

He is the quintessential failson confusing propaganda for the truth because they are able to exist in a ideological bubble detached from reality.

unrelated to the actual articleThe "Give me your email" popup takes up half the window and cant be closed but also says "this is not a paywall." Absolutely hilarious gaslighting.

Tariffs get dropped by usa. China demands that Trump post hog in order to begin negotiations.
