➡️ Can we trust the US and Israel will abandon hostilities after the ceasefire expires? Absolutely not. And it’s naïve to think otherwise. This ceasefire is considered fragile by all metrics. Meaning, the probability of hostilities resuming is high. As one Iranian editor said, "A ceasefire, compromise, and negotiation are a gift to the enemy,” and would give them time to rebuild. He’s not wrong. We’re running low on high-cost munitions: “The United States can still produce the munitions it needs. The more difficult question is whether it can sustain that production in a prolonged, high-intensity conflict.” The US can’t. In fact, the DoD highlighted defense supply chain vulnerabilities in a 2022 report, concluding that aging facilities, compliance requirements, and rigid processes limit the ability to increase production quickly and meet demand. The US is trying to shift itself from producing exquisite high-cost munitions to producing low-cost munitions, but at a higher volume. In 2025, the Pentagon Munitions Acceleration Council allocated approximately 97% of funds to exquisite, high-cost munitions, and only 3% to low-cost, high-volume munitions. However, the Pentagon plans to shift that percentage once they conclude testing and operational use of their “new entrants” (new weapons). Ask me for sources and I shall provide :)

Set us up for success? I think he meant they’re trying to completely threaten the already fragile ceasefire…

A ceasefire is a military decision, not a political resolution. Over the course of these 2+ years the US and Israel have proven to be bad faith actors, moving away from the rules based order we’ve been taught. Sure, we approached foreign policy with a realpolitik framework before today, but we still operated within the bounds of international and domestic law to some degree. What we’re seeing today is a brazen abandonment of rules based order to achieve an end. The means to the end has no limitations. Now, we operate outside of law and order, and have shown no regard to our international reputation. The empire is losing its global reign and enacting its last bid of global domination through might. Think of this as our last rodeo at securing an economic edge on china.

rusi.org/explore-our-re… Worth a read. The article provides tables detailing “days to munitions depletion” of various defensive and offensive munitions used in the Iran war.

private arbitration can be guided by religious principles like Canon law, Halacha, and Sharia law—ICYMI Christian and Jewish religious principles are also used in private arbitration across the US. In any case (from Canon to Sharia), the resulting agreement must adhere to state and federal law, and cannot violate public policy or Constitutional rights. Nothing supersedes the Constitution and everything is done within the framework of US law.

@WallStreetApes Sharia law is being used everywhere in the US through arbitration. As long as both parties consent, sharia law principles can be used to settle family, marriage and community or commercial disputes. The key is that this is all legally binding when done within the community.

American says Muslims are already practicing Sharia Law in Plano, Texas A Muslim is seen at the East Plano Islamic Center with his very underage wife Investigator says he has 3 more underage wives at home “She is his wife. Yes, his wife. Please spare me your denials of Sharia law could never happen in America because it's already happening right here in Plano. And this is all over. He's got three more little wives at home too, by the way.”
