Al Sharpton has a better chance at reparations

Trump really needs to quit saying that "Iran wants to make a deal very badly." It's a bad joke at this point and everyone knows that is not the case.

Fox News just finding this out and posting it in the last 30 minutes is comical. This has been known for over a week now. Mainstream media is so far behind on things.

Oil won't plummet as fast as some expect in that case. It will take a few months for the logistics to work themselves out and for Middle Eastern infrastructure to be re-built and there will be a premium that will continue to be paid for access to easy, safe American barrels.

I'm sure the IRGC will say its air defense tests or the detonation of unexploded USA ordnance.

I'd say the opposite is true if there isn't a full surrender from the IRGC. IE the market instability will continue.
Some kind of half-baked compromise isn't going to cut it with this radical regime.
I fear that Trump values "making a deal" more than he values following through 100%.
That doesn't make me a "Panican" as the actions speak louder than words.

It's a funny thing: the same people who were complaining when we were dropping bombs on Iran, are now the ones complaining that we're not.

Iran has submitted a new proposal to the United States to end the war. The terms include five demands: U.S. troops leaving areas close to Iran, the U.S. paying war reparations, lifting sanctions on Iran, releasing Iran's frozen assets, and ending the U.S. blockade. - Reuters
They don't even mention the "nuclear dust" or the enrichment program.
How many more extensions is Trump going to give them?

From CNBC Wednesday morning - notice they use the "strongly worded" phrase. 
Iran threatens to extend conflict ‘beyond the region’ if U.S. and Israel resume attacks
Iran threatens to extend conflict ‘beyond the region’ if U.S. and Israel resume attacks
quote:
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard on Wednesday issued a strongly worded statement threatening to extend the Middle East conflict “beyond the region” if the U.S. and Israel resume attacks against Tehran.
In the event the aggression against Iran is repeated, “the regional war that was promised will this time be extended beyond the region, and our crushing blows will bring you to ruin in places you cannot imagine,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said, according to a statement reported by the country’s semi-official Mehr news agency.
The comments come shortly after some mixed messages from the Trump administration on the prospect of a deal to resolve the Iran war.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday told lawmakers at the White House that Washington would end the conflict with Tehran “very quickly,” claiming that Iran was eager to reach an agreement.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in a separate press briefing that neither Trump nor Tehran wanted the military campaign to restart, describing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran as in a “pretty good” place.
“This is not a forever war. We’re going to take care of business and come home,” Vance said Tuesday, when asked about the length of the conflict.
Trump had earlier threatened further military action against Iran, saying the country had two or three days, or perhaps until Sunday or early next week, to come to the negotiating table.
The U.S. president also said he had been “an hour away” from deciding whether to attack Iran on Tuesday, before he was persuaded to postpone the strike.
The Iran war has been stuck in an uneasy stalemate for weeks, as a ceasefire remains active but the two sides grapple for control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
Typically, about 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passes through the Strait of Hormuz, but shipping traffic has virtually halted since the war began on Feb. 28.
Trump has repeatedly threatened further military action against Iran, only to delay deadlines he’s set. The war, which has dragged on far longer than the Trump administration’s initial four-to-six-week timeline, is viewed negatively by growing majorities of Americans, according to recent polls.

I wonder what "beyond the region" means?
Are they going to start lobbing missiles at Europe, Africa, Pakistan or India?

This is all true, so why does he keep saying it and why the "stalling" on his part to continue with destruction of IRGC? Why did he bring all that firepower into the region to begin with, and keep it coming after the first effort a couple of weeks ago?
He's not a stupid man, and neither are his advisers and the quantum super AI computers the pentagon must be using. Space force is watching everything, munitions by the plane loads to Israel have been reported recently. Israel keeps announcing that strikes WILL HAPPEN, not might. On and on and on.
What does all this add up to? My wish casting is that somebody, Israel?, US?, 3rd party GCC? has been secretly supplying arms and DRONES w/XBOX controllers (shout out to Auburn 1868) to resistance. This was done in WW11 to French resistance prior to D-Day. I'm really hoping resistance has been armed and our joint forces go hog wild on IRGC hard for 3 days or so. Then call to fight from resistance with back up from the air. Hoping that training has occurred during this stall to call in strikes. Also, Israeli/US personnel in position to help with air support targeting. Without air support I don't believe resistance could beat IRGC and would probably get slaughtered.
On the flip side to my wish casting, I can't believe, at least refuse to believe, that Trump is not going to follow through with aiding the Iranian people from the IRGC maniacs and no effort in getting that Uranium.

How many days does ????Iran have to come to the table? ????Trump: Two or three days. Maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Maybe early next week. A limited period of time. I think it’s important to get the nuclear dust, maybe psychologically more than anything else.
You know, you’re never really wrong when all you say is gibberish.

You know that's bullshite.
60 day War Powers Act or Authorization for the Use of Military Force or openly declare war...which the US hasn't done since WWII.
You think the democrats and turncoat Republicans are going to give Trump the same treatment as Obama/Clinton/Ford/Reagan?
If congress would give him AUMF we would be bombing the crap out of Iran right now.
So, why all the talk by Trump about resuming the attacks if he can’t resume the attacks?

Would it be wise to say otherwise with the enemy listening?
It's probably not that he can't resume the attacks. Prior Presidents went beyond the 60 day mark.
Right now...Massie, fricking Cassidy, the other Rino turncoats and every democrat would be more than happy to vote to congressionally put an "end to hostilities". The dems have been trying it since day one. Their TDS makes it where they don't care how that would look for America.

Thank you for making my point. He clearly CAN resume attacks. Congress voted, and voted for his ability to resume attacks at his discretion. No one is holding him back.
