Wow. Ole boy's first defense for the mechanical failures was that the sea is a harsh environment.

To the reporter's credit, she followed up with "but other nations seems to be able to get their fleets ready?"

He then pivoted to arguing that they built too few ships...so I guess 12 shitty vessels is better than 6 shitty vessels?

The sale of the uranium went thru her son in laws company, the Clinton family actually made money on this deal while she was Secretary of State.

Now we can analyze all the recon we did and watch movements and when we go back can hit them hard. Allows aircrew and sailors some rest and maintenance.

A break benefits the guys who are losing. When one basketball team is running away with the game, which coach calls a timeout?

This is all a joke. We got Pakistan to beg for a ceasefire on our behalf so Trump could get out of his ultimatum.

Iran is now claiming one set of agreed upon points.

Trump is claiming a different set of agreed upon points.

Nothing has been signed. Strait still closed. Both sides blasting the hell out of each other still. Iran is saying the ceasefire is over because of Israel’s actions.

All while Trump and Hegseth are claiming victory and MAGA believes Trump destroyed Iran and has the strait open.

Trump called the ceasefire because The Masters is on starting tomorrow thru weekend. Next week we’ll be back to bombing them. :)


The masters is on cbs. Know who doesn’t want CBS ratings infringed? The Ellisons. The The Ellisons are trumps friends and will fix CNN for Trump.

Connect.the.dots!

Anyone with a working brain can see what the last week has been.

Sunday - Threaten to destroy
Monday/Tuesday - Get even more loud. People cry war crimes
Tuesday - Agree to a ceasefire you know they aren't going to keep.
Wednesday it all falls apart.
This weekend you commence to destroying civilization with the statement these people can't honor their word.

You mean Israel broke the ceasefire because they bombed Iran after Iran broke the cease fire??? Sounds like self defense to me.

It seems that neither side agreed upon the same thing or signed anything. There was effectively never a ceasefire.

WH says that the 10 points made public aren't the 10 points that we agreed to, but the "real" ones will be discussed behind closed doors

Hopefully that is what the whole cease fire is about.

We destroy their military while arming the people.

Its go time. Well what do you know the kurds didn't do their job so the people are still defenseless.

Now what? Well we have to arm them which will take another week. Lets call for a cease fire and we will look like the peace makers and this gives us time to arm them during the cease fire.

Just spit balling here.

Before major announcements, especially by Trump, there’s been massive bets and hedging. They’re not coincidental.

When Trump says something he means it and he tells people what he is gonna do. So markets move when Trump speaks or does something

The sequence: Iran signs ceasefire. Iran releases fake version claiming total victory. CNN runs fake version as real news. Trump calls it fraud. Iran launches missiles at Israel, Kuwait, UAE, and Bahrain.

Ceasefire lasts fewer hours than a domestic flight.

Everyone is asking the wrong question. The question isn’t “why did Iran break the ceasefire.” The answer to that is obvious. Iran has a political wing that wants to negotiate and a military wing that wants to die fighting. The IRGC operates 32 independent regional commands.

The politicians signed the paper. The generals launched the missiles.

Iran is a country negotiating with itself at gunpoint.

Trump already knows this.

This morning he posted that Iran has gone through “a very productive regime change.” He’s not angry about the broken ceasefire. He’s looking past the IRGC and talking directly to the political faction that’s still alive and desperate.

Then, minutes later, he posted a 50 percent tariff on any country supplying weapons to Iran. He didn’t name China. He didn’t have to.

Five Iranian ships left a Chinese port carrying sodium perchlorate, the chemical you need to make the solid rocket fuel inside every missile that just hit Kuwait. China trades $500 billion a year with the US. Russia trades under $500 million. The tariff isn’t about Russia.

So: one hand offers Iran reconstruction money and sanctions relief. The other hand prices China out of the Iranian weapons pipeline. Two posts, two targets, one table.

Meanwhile there’s a conservative commentator somewhere reading the CNN version of Iranian propaganda and telling you Trump surrendered.

My brother in Christ, he just set the opening bid for a meeting with Xi Jinping.

So its not clear. Someone may be unethically using their knowledge to bet on things but its not 'clear' if its happening at all or who it could be
