Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

So, is the ceasefire over, or are we just doing an Israel-style ceasefire?

    Toddler logic:

    Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.

    People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.

    He doesn't want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.

    Don't forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it's his bread and butter and he's running this show.

    The war won't end while trump is in office.

    He’s also likely hit the Alzheimer’s stage of his life. Combine his general impulsivity with the characteristic impulsivity of Alzheimer’s. Now add in his likely cluster B personality disorder. Anything can happen at any time.

    Reason may not be involved at all.

    It thinks Republicans are. Because passivity from the Republicans in the Senate is all he needs to keep the war going. I certainly have no faith in the military to reject unlawful orders themselves.

    Basic article, but news snippets & headlines (sans article reading) can work the same way. As one example, we are now seeing pregnant women shun Tylenol, not for anything specific they remember, just a vague “I heard it could be bad for the baby.”

    MAGA knows what they say in brief sound bites, on repeat, can and will have similar impact.

    Not on all. But they don’t need all. They just need enough absorbing the info in this way to keep us divided and forever following different information.

    What in the fuck? When Iran retaliates, are these people gonna cry that Iran broke the ceasefire?

    This is so childish.

    Straight from Russian playbook. Just straight up lie in front of the whole world. Your fanatics will believe you anyways and the doubters won't know who to trust.

    They are going to say that literally nothing is breaking the cease fire, unless Iran does something large enough to rile up the US population.

    The moment the ceasefire is “broken” they need to go before congress and get their stamp of approval on the war. But so long as they are in a ceasefire, they don’t have to do that.

    So they are going to continue with the war, but constantly claim that their acts of war aren’t breaking the cease fire, so they still aren’t at war, so they still don’t need congress.

    Y'all are missing the point of saying it's not a resumption. Of course it is. But they have to lie. If they admit they're resuming, it means they're in violation of the war powers act by going past 60 days. I expect the next lie will be that actually, this is a totally new military operation and the clock has reset.

    And when they need to justify the war they claim we've been at war with Iran for 47 years.

    Each lie is made for each argument or question they are addressing and does not need to be consistent with prior lies.

    Huh. And here's me thinking a cease fire means you ceased firing.

    You can’t restart a war that never ended or end a cease-fire that never started

    At some point, words still need to mean SOMETHING so at least a transfer of information happens. At this rate, by next year they’ll be down to pointing and grunting.

    Apparently this was a “love tap”. Only a man with the sexual history of Donny the Demented would think that.

    Sundowning Preznit Fuckwit is bigly mad because the trumpstein files are being brought up again.

    There. That is why bombs are being dropped. Because a pedo doesn't like when you shame his child raping activities.
