AlterEd didn't make these kinds of jokes. Really gonna miss that guy when it's revealed he was a psyop run by a CIA computer the whole time

Maybe it's just me, and the Qataris and Pakistanis negotiating this deal are *actually* noble people that want to see peace and prosperity in their region - but I find it very hard to trust their altruism.

What are their motives here? Something about this whole deal is so odd to me, but maybe I'm just stuck in a different era of ME leadership and policy. Obviously this administration has a billion times more information than I'll ever have, but trusting Muslims to have our best interests in regards to other Muslims is uncomfortable at best

Too bad nobody believes he'll follow through on his threats anymore. He's completely lost that leverage in negotiating until he proves otherwise.

Shipping traffic in the Strait has come to a standstill as we speak. Does he consider that "closed"? Will he do anything about it or just continue to talk tough, then declare "we put off any action because they didn't technically CLOSE the Strait and now talks are going really well!" or something to that effect?

The Iranian delegation in Switzerland apparently got up and walked out when they heard these threats, but they're still hanging around like they know he'll backtrack again. If they thought he was serious in any way they'd be hauling their asses back to Iran.

This has been a great thread. Appreciate both Ed and SFP for keeping it informative and free of mudslinging, this is the good kind of discussion that's needed here more.

Boosie and others that just pop in to drop a one sentence post for the sole purpose of stirring shite or calling someone an idiot are ruining this board (and the OT for that matter)

The problem is that our peace with Iran seems dependent on our ability to rein in Israel's war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, and we haven't proven that we can do that.

---

Why should we have to? Israel is a sovereign nation that is defending itself from the constant barrage of missile and rocket attacks from Hezbollah right on their border.

Why is the onus on the US to rein in our proxy Israel, instead of the onus on Iran to rein in their proxy Hezbollah? Everyone's forgetting that there's two sides at play here and are willing to just take the weaker position - for what?

We slapped around Iran and sunk their navy, destroyed their air force, and took out a majority of their missile and drone fabrication network. Why are we the ones negotiating from the weaker position, why are we the ones expected to rein in our proxy instead of Iran? We should be demanding they rein in Hezbollah and force them to retreat instead of Iran demanding we rein in Isreal and retreat our own forces.

Some of y'all have lost perspective

Then why not just ban bluesky? Or “age restrict it?

The Bluesky thing was debunked days ago. This rumor started because Australia didn't ban Bluesky with their legislation that England is now copying, but there's been no confirmation that Bluesky is being left off the list in England.

For what it's worth, Bluesky banned itself for kids under 16 in Australia even though they were left off their banned list. So they did the right thing anyway, and I would imagine they'd do the same in England if they're left off the banned list.

I hate sticking up for those pinko commie figs on that platform, but this thread is full of people running with an Internet rumor that's been debunked

The Marine Band has absolutely stolen the show tonight with their intros. Not a fan of UFC but they've put on an epic production with this, and the live singers and instrumentalists from the Marine band that were asked to step out of their comfort zones to perform these intro songs are killing it

I don't often agree with you, but I do here. $300 billion is enough to build 23 Ford class supercarriers. We have 11 supercarriers TOTAL, 1 of those being a Ford class. It's more than our whole fleet of F35s is worth. We could build dozens of our B-21 Raiders for that. It's more than Iran's yearly defense budget and more than 99% of other nations' as well.

And it's being paid to them to rebuild what we destroyed, which was all military targets (minus one girl's school). So we're paying Iran a third of a TRILLION dollars to rebuild what we spent billions of dollars and 13 American lives to destroy.

It makes no sense and I pray it isn't true. If it is, I'm officially off the Trump train. Give me JD Vance.
