Tehran skeptical of president’s offer – and troop deployments for potential ground operations – suggest claim of imminent end to war not credible
Somewhere between the strait of Hormuz and the screens of Bloomberg terminals around the world, the standard laws of cause and effect appear to have been suspended for Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
Trump this week soft-launched his latest Iran peace talks – which he has said must be accepted or “we’ll just keep bombing our little hearts out” – with few details or proof that anyone in the Iranian regime was willing to listen to him. The ultimatum was described as “maximalist” by Iran and quickly derided as a non-starter by analysts and former government officials.
Iran’s response to the 15-point plan appeared to be a resounding no, demanding instead that Tehran be given sovereignty over the strait of Hormuz, in effect confirming its control – or at least veto power – over the world energy trade.
Trump is a symptom of american culture. America is a hostage and when trump is gone and a Democrat is president, America is still a hostage.
Not saying don’t vote Democrat etc. It’ll probably be better for people, but our country is still hostage and I don’t think it can actually be fixed. Literally everything is psychologically marketed constantly and we aren’t living a natural path of our personal humanity or our nations humanity. We are all professionally groomed. We are products, a service, sold to the highest bidders and the nation is our pimp, and the buyers are the psychopath elites. Even the politicians, cops, upper class etc are played out and used. They are barely above us regulars on the lowest tier, they just believe that achievement of “the American dream” means they are doing something right. We are disposable.
