mean, he has pretty clearly been lying or gaslighting since we apparently had a deal a few weeks ago.


Trump was clearly lying a couple of times in his Truth Socials. But that could be chalked up to market manipulation and/or Trump's optimistic nature.

This is different. It causes doubt about our military capabiity. Yesterday, our military made a plausible pledge to protect ships transiting the Strait. But...apparently...we only sent two of our sixteen available destroyers.

This is the first time we made a pledge that we cannot fulfill.

It seems like Trump is trying to will an agreement into existence with his constant proclamations of "being close to a deal" which is basically the same thing he said 3-4 weeks ago. It will be interesting to see how all of this ultimately turns out.

This has been a very common response by white liberal men this evening. Word for word

You simply can’t make these tankers cross the strait because the insurance is too expensive. And there are so many ships that if Iran just started firing some would get hit.


Correct. Why on Earth did we over promise with "Operation Freedom?"

An intelligent Republican or Democrat President would not put us in this position, at least not voluntarily. But this is Trump we are talking about.

What did he do back in March? He was holding back?

But this next round he's gonna be serious?

Iran is really gonna behave this time?

It’s called negotiation. If there is a dictionary in the state of Mississippi lookup that word.

That's the thing with this place. You never really know.

I was reading the Ukraine War thread one day. And I came across a post that said: "I wish Putin would stop fooling around with these clowns and really start trying."

And it's honestly like 50/50 on whether this guy is trolling or serious.

There was a guy in the Comey thread a couple of days ago predicting that he would get 5 years in prison for a photograph of sea shells.

Was he serious? Sarcastic? Retarded?

It's honestly hard to say.
