we are not signatories to the Geneva convention so it doesn't matter. teh global order and intl law doest apply to the USA both in good times and in bad. we are the most powerful country in the world and have been for 100 years. our poor decision making for teh past 25 years has been weakening the all powerfulness that we had previously but there is no-one who can challenge teh might of the US. so its up to us citizens to not abuse that power. |
Are you kidding?! THE UNITED STATES WAS A KEY DRAFTER OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS! IT IS PART OF THE POST WWII ORDER WE CREATED! I just can’t anymore with the ignorance. |
oh lord- as a 2nd gen Pakistani this sentence frightens me- inept, corrupt bunglers who have zero credibility or pretense at competence since the 1970s. |

The ceasefire includes Lebanon.
People across the world can clearly see that Netanyahu and the Zionists are determined to pursue greater Israel at the cost of peace and the global economy. |
what's changed is that the Arab street now doesnt hate Iran despite its bombing them. even Al Jazeera has softened its criticism of Iran by a lot over teh Cours eof this conflict. The nearly 2 billion muslims in the world blame all this conflict on Israel and are also focused on LEBANON more than Iran. they think the bombs are the fault of the US and Cereal despite the fact that they are coming from Iran. |
the Red Sea is a bigger choke point - Houthis (who have been fighting the gulf Arabs for decades now & are crazed shiite fundamentalists who think they are the heirs to the 'old man on the mountain" the original Assasins (hashashin) control it. |
It’s how far the US has fallen. |
| As Israel is continuing to bomb and occupy Lebanon one wonders if the entire Iran “excursion” was cover for a land grab. |

I too had a good chuckle at Pakistan as the intermediary.
Seems like some people didn’t receive the cease-fire memo though. |
DP. No, I haven’t seen this US propaganda. |

From Heather Cox Richardson: “The American people spent the whole day wondering if their mad king would destroy the world, only to find out he was terrorizing them in order to protect his ego after starting a disastrous war.”

Trump is now begging Iran to return to the JCPOA.
And in his begging, he is silent to ballistic missiles, funding proxies or control of the Strait of Hormuz. |
