does anyone actually buy this bullshit propaganda? the admin is arm-to-arm with Israel in everything they're doing. If Israel violates the supposed ceasefire it's because it was planned/allowed by the US.

it's the same bullshit Biden did for an entire year while Israel launched a campaign of genocide against Gaza. they'd leak fake memos about how "biden is upset" and "biden is mad at Netanyahu" while signing off to all of it.

He’s a narcissist. Not in the vibes sense that most people use it, but in the clinical sense. They’ll turn on their flying monkeys at the drop of a hat. It doesn’t mean the US has split from Israel, but this isn’t the fake Brandon anger.

Brandon was covering himself in Crisco listening to “Subhuman” by Throbbing Gristle on repeat, pretending to be pissed off. Trump is fuming. He’ll get over it.

idk. i generally disagree. trump is fuming in public because he has to convince his base he's the same "no new wars" president they voted for. meanwhile he both filled his admin up with iran war hawks and is regularly getting briefed / signing off on everything Israel is doing

I was kinda hoping you’d disagree with my song or lube choice. Does nobody care what Biden was doing while pretending to be pissed off?

Obviously, I don’t know, either, but I do know that when a narcissist wants something to go a certain way and it doesn’t, they lose it. They’ll still do pretty much everything Israel wants, but I don’t think Trump is pretending to be upset.

I don’t think Trump is pretending to be upset.

yah... that's the popular and most common take on it i've seen. from jeffrey sachs to sam seder to american prospect all the way to hasanabi. time will tell if israel starts bombing Iran again to see it was authentic or not.

i hope it's authentic because it means israel will fuck off i just don't think it is given mossad, CIA, and netanyahu.

Big agree, way too many people are far too credulous about this. The US didn't move a shitton of military assets to the Middle East because Israel is "out of control"

[–] frogbellyratbone_@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

yep. even the bullshit ceasefire. it's only to give Israel time to rearm it's various iron dome defense systems. once rearmed/resupplied they're going right back to bombing iran while trump pretends to be mad about it
