For a couple of years long ago I worked in sales. Took the job out of desperation an stuck it out until I found an exit. But I learned some things about sales, including (from my manager) that a salesman is the easiest person to sell to.
And a conman is the easiest to con. Trump, meet Bibi. |

42 min ago breaking news updates JUST IN: Israeli military official says the country is still attacking Iran, after White House said Israel agreed to ceasefire |
Okay let’s see who is right in one year. The US can not afford to maintain US bases in the region and will withdraw from the region. We are out of there Middle East. This was a huge loss for the US and a disaster for Israel. Turkey and Iran are the powers in the ME with a rising Iraq and Syria. The European are no longer beholden to the US. So look for sanctions against Israel. Trump is a lame duck and weak. Bibi will now turn on him. The next US president will be anti Israel most likely Tucker. |
Who cares? Not our fight. |
They have plenty of allies. Let’s name the ones who count - Russian and China. Now name Israel’s allies. Now name the US’s allies. |

A lot of illiterate commentators and commentators are conflating the CEASE FIRE agreement with the ENDING WAR negotiating points.
The 8/9/10/15 point plans are ending war proposals, not claimed cease fire agreements. It doesn't help that Iran's website is broken https://en.irna.ir/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/irans-supreme-national-security-council-says-it-has-accepted-two-week-ceasefire-in-the-war |
Trump said that Iran's 10 point plan was a "workable basis on which to negotiate" snf “Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.” So while the deal isn't done, he has in general agreed to Iran's 10 point plan. |
The $2M toll won't hold long term. It's too expensive compared to going the long way around Africa |
The devil is in the details, especially regarding enriched uranium. |
You haven't looked at a map, have you? |
VLCC tanker’s cargo is worth roughly $225–285 million at today’s prices. They could probably charge more, maybe less for smaller ships. I’d charge by the cargo hold size. |
Should Trump blow up the power plants? |
