Trump basically caved, and accepted a variation of Iran’s 10 point plan. The US gained basically nothing while Iran gained complete and total control over the Stait of Hormuz, which they did not have before. and now they’re going to monetize it, when it used to be free to pass through.
Oh, and Israel gets to keep bombing Lebanon.
So, yeah, by any measure, Iran really did get to claim victory here.
Why is Israel still invading Lebanon?
Because Benjamin Netanyahu is a psychopathic genocidal piece of shit
Lebensraum
Bibisraum
*Lebanonsraum
He doesn't need a reason. He's an evil person who just wants to kill other people.
A very specific group of other people, though. People who like to praise Allah, to be precise.
Like Trump you mean?
Nah he will kill anyone that is on the land he claims is part of the greater Israel.
Convenient that only happens to be land with Muslims on it.
They’re killing Christians too
Justin Amash's family was targeted in their Eastern Orthodox church in the gaza thing, a former US Congressman, one that came out for impeachment against dear leader.
Not an oulier either. Israel does not just kill muslims.
They claim they’re targeting Hezbollah who are firing rockets from Lebanon into Israel. Seems like they’re happy killing a bunch of civilians too.
Epstein was an Israeli intelligence operation to compromise ivy league types, the ruling class, with video of them fucking children. A group that includes the president.
Blackmail.
Hey look it's my CK2 Beta Israel to Israel game. That is not fucking good.
Why do people downvote this image? Epstein had one printed out in his house. This is what Israel obviously wants
Because it's obviously AI?
I just need to download crop and blow up the Epstein map then
About that. Iran and Pakistan have said, contrarily to what Israel claims, that the ceasefire includes Lebanon and applies to the US and all US allies. Soo, I guess we're about to see whether Trump will put the ceasefire talks in jeopardy to continue being Israels bitch or is he desperate enough to throw Israel under the bus just to get out of this massive fuckup he himself created.
Israel doesn't care and has tapes of Trump, other world leaders and billionaires. Lebanon is screwed
I think we all know which way that’s gonna go. But, hey, maybe we could all be surprised?
You're forgetting, though, that Trump changed the Epstein news cycle. So since Trump doesn't understand the difference between him and the "US," I'm sure he'd disagree with you.
He may have shifted the new cycle temporarily, like with Venezuela, but people are still talking about it enough that it isn’t totally dead, and it’s about to come back and rear its ugly head once again. And thanks to Jimmy Kimmel repeating it nonstop, people are now starting to refer to it as the Trump-Epstein files, lol.
