spoilerThe US is loading its warships with the "best weapons" in case the peace talks with Iran fail, US President Donald Trump has suggested.

Speaking in a phone interview to New York Post on Friday, he says "we're going to find out in about 24 hours," the paper reports.

"We're loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation.

"And if we don't have a deal, we will be using them and we will be using them very effectively," he adds.

Of the Iranians, he says they are people that you "don't know whether or not they tell the truth".

Talks between the two nations are due to take place on Saturday in Pakistan.

So it looks like the US's plan was to violate the ceasefire on the weekend when the stock market is closed, but Israel might've screwed their plan up? These ghouls probably lost out on millions because of Israel's bloodlust and their inability to reign their dog in. It's also very funny that they act like Iran can't see the US moving weapons into the region like they'll just totally catch them by surprise, like Iran has moved all their underground bases outside to get some fresh air during the ceasefire and they'll be vulnerable or something.

Iran is doing the nicest thing they could do for the US with this ceasefire and negotiation, and the US is going to fuck it up bigtime and the war will resume and the situation for the US will get worse and worse, and instead of getting to save face the US will have to deal with a much more humiliating defeat.

Wouldn't surprise me if the US launches an attack during the negotiation. We'll have to see.

It's friday time for the weekly pump and dump. The wall street war profiteer scumbags who are happily going along with this every weekend should be brought out with Chris Matthews in Central Park

"you don't know whether (Iranians) tell you the truth or not"

Unlike those famously candid and straightforward western diplomats and politicians.

It's like reverse aura farming. Iran looks stronger and more stable every time.

Which is kinda scary if this song and dance stops "working" to whatever end Trump's trying to achieve.

[-] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 22 points 4 hours ago

He should start giving penultimatums

no no it's an ultimatum on a really nice pen

psychological trick.. once you have the pen in your hand you feel really bad saying no or giving it back

[-] Carl@hexbear.net 15 points 6 hours ago

And at this point everyone knows that he was suing for peace while talking shit before. It's Nixon's "madman theory" as performed by someone with no conception of the internality of others.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 5 hours ago

Trump as a legit, legit crazy 1980s rapper rapping "Complete Decimation".

We're loading up the ships
with the best weapons ever made
even at a higher level
than we use to do...
a complete decimation.

And if we don't have a deal,
we will be using them
and we will be using them
very, very effectively.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 17 points 5 hours ago

How many times has he done this already? lmao

They should build a giant wooden horse and offer it as a peace offering, but in a clever ruse fill it with their best weapons and men

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 34 points 9 hours ago

Just like how the dems write strongly worded letters instead of doing anything, Trump goes on twitter and puts out ultimatums.
