Good thing the markets are closed, I guess.

TheGoldenV@lemmy.world on 19 Jun 14:41 next collapse

I guess Iran was serious about their demands huh?

Interesting that it’s Israel breaking it though rather than the US. If the US wants the strait open but Israel doesn’t care, where does that leave them?

TheGoldenV@lemmy.world on 19 Jun 14:57 next collapse

It leaves them bent over like beggars under sacks.

Korhaka@sopuli.xyz on 19 Jun 15:04 collapse

America seems pretty willing to bend over for Israel currently

Interesting that it’s Israel breaking it

Not very surprising, though.

They already said that they didn’t approve of this latest agreement.

mrdown@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 19 Jun 15:38 collapse

Even when they approve things they still breach it

YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf on 19 Jun 16:43 collapse

They’ve been non stop “ceasefiring” on Lebanon Hezbollah until Hezbollah retaliated and immediately Israel cried the terrorists are attacking! They broke the ceasefire! We are victims in all this. I believed that’s when israel tried to put boots on the ground and the squad or whatever got fucked up. This shits been going for so long it all blurs together. Sorry if I got the events wrong.

Israel already said they weren’t recognizing the deal and they weren’t leaving Lebanon, so the real question is what is Trump willing to do to about Israel to make that ceasefire stick? Historically not a lot, but that relationship does seem to be chafing a lot recently.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca on 19 Jun 15:34 next collapse

Trump will capitulate to his master, no worries.

Waterpumpee@lemmus.org on 19 Jun 15:39 next collapse

they have compromisig material on him

Which one? He seems to have so many these days, but none of them are the American electorate.

PhoenixDog@lemmy.world on 19 Jun 17:56 collapse

so the real question is what is Trump willing to do to about Israel to make that ceasefire stick?

I’m sure he’ll find a way to blame Biden or Obama for this.

theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 19 Jun 15:30 next collapse

I mean yeah Israel is still occupying and ethnically cleansing Lebanon.

MalReynolds@slrpnk.net on 19 Jun 17:11 collapse

So sick of ‘ethnically cleansing’ (nothing personal), so sanitized, even genocide is usually out of context. How about we go back to ‘mass murderers’ and ‘war criminals’?

marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today on 19 Jun 17:17 collapse

Doesn’t really encapsulate what is happening. Every war the US has been a part of since WWII has objectively made every single US politician and military member a mass murderer and war criminal. Every single one. Only a few were ever a genocidier or could claim ethnic cleansing.

It’s important to have that difference, especially when communicating outside of anti-imperialist bubbles, i.e. if you need to gain support for actual change amongst a populace who see members of the US military as ‘heroes’ or some other similar nonsense.

MalReynolds@slrpnk.net on 19 Jun 17:26 collapse

Makes sense I guess, not a USian myself, thankfully, and have less need of doublespeak. Personally I just think of them all as subcategories of ‘mass murderer’, including ‘legal’ wars and especially those who instigate them, although I concede the waters can be murky there.

eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 19 Jun 16:20 next collapse

Seriously y’all I think I might be developing precog abilities.

Cause this seemed like the only possible thing that could have happened.

NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world on 19 Jun 17:00 collapse

Israel is the good guy here, they’re prolonging the war so we can keep trading the TACOs on the stock market like all the other big players. The longer it goes on, the better your precog abilities get, the more money you can earn.

eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 19 Jun 16:26 collapse

As of this post CBS News is reporting a truce deal between Hezbollah and Israel.
