There are really two options -


The ceasefire exists for some strategic purpose and coming together of plans that is meant to bring about a better result. We just don’t have near enough info about what this could be.

OR

We have no idea what to do next and this is just a stalling option to figure out a better solution.

Your opinion on which this is largely rests upon whether you liked or hated Trump to begin with. Further trumps bombastic style makes option 2 seem potentially more likely as time goes on. However that’s just optics - patience is needed as both of these options are very possible given what’s occurring and would look similar to this point.

The outcome is decidedly more cloudy given the haze of current information. That created angst and uncertainty which no one likes.

I will add - early days our admin and military appeared to have a well coordinated plan. Something went amiss - and we have settled into something of a backup plan (if you believe this is even a plan still)

My guess is we (and importantly the regional governments) were surprised by irans willingness and ability to get some attacks in on their infrastructure and our anti drone/rocket stockpiles we’re getting depleted faster than expected. The ceasefire was in part to reset/refit radar, batteries, stockpiles, layers of defense etc.

Crazy how down one the players with the most touches the last ten minutes are our CBs by far.

Did we forget to put the 11th player on? Looks like we are playing short handed

Looks like a great crowd.

What a disaster this “Special Military Operation” has become. Trump accelerated the fall of the US empire by getting involved in this unnecessary conflict.

Jesus. Please get a grip.

It’s nowhere near that bad yet. But he does need this to go somewhere at some point that provides for an improvement from where this was before we started bombing.

Iraq had stockpiles of WMDs

Yeah that’s the part I never understood. They used them. They had them. And all these idiots were saying we lied - when instead they should have been asking where did they go? Who took them? Who has them?

The word is they wanted someone more aggressive than Alonso.

Whether that’s a mistake remains to be seen.

Why is it not possible to think Russia and China are resupplying them weapons covertly? if you think this isnt happening your really naive.

---

Of course they are. It’s just a question as to scale and quality. And with shipping closed it would be either what can come in from a plane from china ir what Russia can free up come their own war.

By no means would it come close to making up what they have already lost or shot/fired.

provided a link. Feel free to do the same.

Your “link” was a news story from two months ago (which you said was last week) about oil sanctions being removed which has no bearing on the current blockade which is what is currently occurring.

Please refrain from clogging this thread up with petty squabbles if you are going to be disingenuous.

There’s no one in the back line who can consistently play a line breaking pass other than Ream. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. He could be exposed athletically but the other guys can be exposed with bad giveaways and being sloppy with the ball.

Problem is even ream had a few giveaways.

ESPN still showing wrong score.
