Caine: "Since the ceasefire was announced, Iran has fired at commercial vessels nine times and seized two container ships. They've attacked US forces more than 10 times. All below the threshold of restarting major combat operations at this point."

But they are yelling out 'we respect you, maybe more than ever before' before they fire upon us. So, obviously below threshold. '' part was actually from what Trump said today, if you can believe it.

A ceasefire for an illegal, unjust war started by Trump without Americans’ consent.Let this not be the demented old man’s justification for escalating war, risking more American military lives, committing more war crimes. No matter what though, we will never forget the Trump-Epstein victims.

“Below the threshold?” Is that code for “please don’t make us start warring again as people hate the warring we are doing and we could all lose our jobs if we start warring again!”

Russia has moved from providing targeting intelligence to Iran to also providing upgraded drones they can target. Cutting off aid to Ukraine, pulling troops from NATO, and (literally) rolling out the red carpet for Putin has brought the US ZERO favors in return apnews.com/article/russ...

War tactic in use now is the military siege, a form of warfare—specifically a blockade and assault tactic designed to conquer a fortified position by encircling it, and forcing surrender via attrition. The war continues, and has not stopped.

The major thing is, Trump doesn’t give a shit about this war. His life isn’t bothered by the war. He doesn’t shop is buys gas. The only thing matters to him is his popularity and nobody tells him the truth about that.

After the ceasefire three things happened: we supposedly transited destroyers through the straits, even though Iran said the straits were closed, israel kept killing Lebanese people, and we blockaded iranian ports, which is itself, an act of war. No one in the world can ever trust the u s a

Interesting how he doesn’t comment on what that threshold is, but attacking US armed forces, firing on civilian ships and seizing private assets is apparently fine. By all means, let’s increase the Pentagon’s budget by $500B so they continue to get us into these wars they can’t win.

Sir.. you collect around 30% off the top of our hard earned paychecks. Please don't lie to your backers. We may just collectively stop the hard earned donations. Yes, it's a donation, nothing seams to be going to the general betterment or #WeThePeople!

Trump in the Oval Office today held a presser that was crazier than ever. He's mumbling his favorite lines while sounding half awake and senile. Kept talking about winning, no nuclear for Iran forever. But offers no strategy. He will just eventually insist Iran has cried "uncle" regardless of facts.

Iran isn’t dumb they know if they got back to war it’s going to turn up the heat that Trump needs to go to Congress to authorize war. So these carnival barkers will continue to say it’s not a war and basically freeze our military from protecting itself while idiots play politics.

Also in German News. A thread about the development in the region

The Emirates rely on Israel - and are now Iran's main enemy in the Gulf OPEC withdrawal, Israeli laser defense systems: Emirates President Mohammed bin Zayed is confronting Iran and neighboring states with his course. Now a powerful critic from his own ranks comes forward. 1/

Who knew electing a giant, notoriously emotionally unstable ignoramus, immune & hostile to advice, and w/ an insatiable need to feel powerful, then flattening every guardrail around his exercise of power would lead to The U.S. repeatedly hitting itself in the dick with a hammer over & over again?

So General (he’s in a bad spot) let me ask you: If at the firing range the instructor yells “cease fire!”, is there a threshold below which some amount of ppl can continue to fire? Like 3 is cool but 4 is a no-go? Time to cut and run.

And I bet not one single reporter asked how many attacks constitute the threshold. I feel like any US citizen could ask better question than these idiots in the breathing room.

Just go home and no one will fire missiles at you. Hormuz would be open, your boys would not lose their lives, gas prices would go down. Everyone would be happy. Except Netanyahu, but who gives a damn about Netanyahu? He should be in jail anyway.

We would not be in this situation had Trump not unilaterally and illegally declared war on Iran for reasons that make no sense, with no discernable objective and without the support of allies

These buffoons really think Iran is gonna abide by their rules after they illegally invaded them. America begging for help from other nations even though they say they don’t need the oil coming through the strait is epic. 😏

General Caine is a traitor to his nation, this POS can’t hang soon enough. He represents the absolute worst of the military, these spineless fucking careerist who will send their men to die for absolutely fucking nothing but his own career interests.
