I’m not justifying the initial strikes, just saying that it probably won’t escalate. At least not immediately.

Evidently it’s an imaginary ceasefire agreement and nobody even asked Iran, so… We’ll see. The token retaliation suggests they aren’t trying to escalate with the US specifically.

And that wasn’t the worst part of the whole experience either.

Hmm, was it the 4 hours of sleep a day, or mopp 4 in 115 degree weather?

Same thing when trump assassinated soleimani. They rattle a saber a little bit and call it even. Trump announced a ceasefire agreement 3 hours ago so it looks like business as usual.

Eh, they’re still doing the announced tit for tat. Like after soleimani got schwacked, they lobbed missiles at a US airbase and that was the end of it. It’s saving face by doing something in response, but also not actually escalating by not inflicting any significant damages.

So, despite how ridiculous it looks calling for peace after an exchange of missiles, that’s probably what will happen. The only confounding factor is Israel and that may be the catalyst to sparking more conflict.

The fact that Trump is under the thumb of Israel, who want to obliterate Iran, and putin, who doesn’t, is entertaining to say the least. It’s a complete crap shoot how this ends up overall.

Trump actually has L A R D tattooed across the knuckles of his right hand in comic sans font. I have a picture to prove it.

I mean Iran having nukes. The least destructive outcome would probably be the one I mentioned. If the US got nuked, I think the world would be over.

I feel like that would almost guarantee Israel and Iran being turned into glass parking lots.

Taking a page out of trumps coloring book? Hmm.
