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.
I expect a false flag attack, blamed on Iran, to happen right before the midterms
Faux news:
Iran just shit trump's pants!
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.
Someone gift him a luger with ammo and he'll fix the problem himself.
Ding ding ding
So our best hope for mankind's future is...McDonald's?
apparently because Americans seem OK to bring the world to ruin before attempting to organize a general strike or protest on a week day
No, this is a new war which Congress totally doesn't need to approve for 90 days.
Actually, what he meant was a seas-fire, hence the bombing of a coastal city /s
You cease, we fire
Not a restarting of the war? LMAO this administration thinks we are STUPID.
The most significant issue with an idiot is that they will always assume that everyone around them is less intelligent than they are.
The Dunning-Cougar effect. I know this one and I'm never wrong.
Well, a large percentage of the US is stupid.
I mean you guys did vote him in
Twice.
TWICE
The first time was moronic, but the second is unforgivable. Just unforgivable.
It's just a demented military operation...
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.
thinks we are STUPID.
the majority of the country voted for him or abstained.... so yes... amerikkka is stupid
Tbh our country re-elected him so I can see why they’d get that impression
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.
but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire
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.
Where are those Iraqi nukes, George?
As a "doubter," I know not to trust a single word ever said by Trump. The only thing that matters are his actions, because those can be read no matter what he wants me to think.
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.
He's literally done that multiple times already...
So yeah, pretty safe bet
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.
this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire
Fires
"This is not an end to the ceasefire"
Now they're gonna wait for Iran to fire back and say they broke the ceasefire.
The old Israeli approach to ceasefires.
I mean how can you cease firing if you aren't firing?
Checkmate atheists
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.
This is a new operation: ' Giant Clusterfuck'
Trump doesn't even respect the ceasefire
"Us firing during a ceasefire doesn't cease the cease fire." Hegseth probably
Apparently this was a “love tap”. Only a man with the sexual history of Donny the Demented would think that.
Well he probably thinks Qeshm was asking for it by dressing that way .....
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.
Once Iran reports on it then I might start to believe it.
Peace talks are progressing in the typical Israeli fashion I see
Fake ceasefire to avoid the war powers act.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
