Well, I guess two days is better than two weeks at any rate. Just don't move the goalposts on getting the enriched uranium dust.
And probably in 3 days, another gulf nation actor will "Request" we hold off because THEY have the line to get a deal done. This will keep getting drug out again and again and that is what the IRGC is pushing for.

If tweet fails to load, click here. My bigger concern is the possibility that we are outsourcing negotiations with Iran to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which have been totally weak throughout this war.
UAE has been firm, which makes me doubt that they are really on board for this. But even if they are, we can't move the goalposts on things like getting the enriched uranium dust just because some Arab states whose oil facilities are at risk of getting bombed want it that way.

FPV suicide drones Ukraine style.
There are tons of uncensored video clips of Ukraine's suicide drones. They are cheap, quite brutal, lethal and extremely effective. Drone pilots are hidden hundreds of yards or miles away viewing HD drone video while targeting enemies with explosives. Some of it has started to use AI and image recognition for guidance too.
If you dig through the videos, I hope you don't mind seeing bodies blown to pieces.

Even if the reasons are legitimate, the perception of the moving goalposts for resuming war is weak. He needs to stop treating resuming operations and negotiating as mutually exclusive options. You can bomb the shite out of them (or give Israel the green light and provide support) and keep negotiating at the same time.

I was being a smartass. I’m quite familiar with your position on drones.

The problem with bridge and power plant day is that it is not the leadership or regime that will suffer. They will be holed up wherever with their generators and stockpile of food and water. The general population will suffer first and the hardest. Get ready for videos of dying babies and elderly. Refugees streaming to the borders. Maybe some of the population would rise up at that point, but who knows?

Nobody is moving the goalposts on this
Why do panicans continue to create situations that are not happening?

There's nothing Trump haters (and haters of the US in general) would like more than unrestrained US bombing of power plants, with mass civilian casualties in the aftermath. "Videos of dying babies and the elderly" is their fervent wish.

This is the notion of the day.
Israel, if pressed, would go it alone .... they have more support from Gulf nations than they ever have had.
They just told the US we are wanting to move away from your monies.
They have fought off the proxies - the head of the snake has revealed its reckless disregard beyond the Hebrew State...the Hebrew State has no reason to co-exist - especially now - and are less immune to external pressure

Israel hoodwinked the US into creating chaos that will weaken the gulf states and allow their eastward expansion to take shape in the following decade.

Maybe the USA can send all of the marauding teenagers from here over there. Especially the one's that has been shooting up everything.

At this point, I think the Arab states that asked Trump to hold off have major skin in the game. They will be the ones to be attacked if bombs start dropping.
It makes sense that Trump will give them an opportunity to broker a deal. If the deal isnt made, then all parties know they had their shot to make it happen.
We need all the Arab states on our side, ready to fight, when bombs go dropping again.

Iran could benefit from some cultcha.

This is exhausting. Trump’s desperate for a deal and scared shitless of resuming strikes, and he’s embarrassing himself big time.
Posted on 5/18/26 at 8:00 pm to TigersSEC2010
Yeah, at this point is all noise. He will do nothing. He's all bark and just making himself look ineffective.

Gas prices and the market will correct the right way big when it's over and open. For bucks sake, they need to hit them from every conceivable angle till they capitulate.
What thw actuial uck are we even doing right now.
Having fought my war I'm not shy to fight.
I think we have a social contract to use our military effectively, and to maximize our capabilities.
Bomb, fine
Troops on the ground, fine
Anything else, fine.
As long as we have an objective and complete it I dont give a shite.
Politicians have killed more us service members in the last 100 years than all the enemy combined. Its not even fn close.
Let us do out job, what we love to do, what we VOULENTEERED to do!
I have served with and jnow the most capable warriors this world has ever produced.
Cut us loose or gtfo.
Exhausted with this bullshite
