Dave's a real name

@RezaNasri1 I hope nobody else gets this idea when they negotiate with USA.

This is unprecedented and outrageous! The U.S. has sunk so low under the TruNyahu regime that it now feels almost normal for a news outlet to publish a piece openly recommending the assassination of foreign diplomats if negotiations fail. The U.S. might as well close the State Department and outsource its foreign policy to MS-13.

@ZionistAF2 @brosen1501 @NickKristof Yes, there is. Look it up.

@davidconstable6 @brosen1501 @NickKristof Proof?

I was thirty-something years old when Iranian students dragged me into a room and told me I wasn't going anywhere. Four hundred and forty-four days later, I walked out. I've spent the decades since trying to make sense of what happened — and what keeps happening — between our two countries. So don't talk to me about Iran like it's an abstraction. I lived inside that confrontation. I felt it. Which is why I'm not ready to write off this ceasefire, even though everything about it is maddening. Negotiations in Pakistan may produce nothing. The talks could collapse before they get started. I've seen American diplomacy with Iran fail more times than I can count, and usually for the same reasons — too much pride, too little patience, and Israel holding a match in the corner of the room. But here's what I know in my bones: another war won't break Iran. We just tried. It didn't work. Iran doesn't break — it absorbs, it adapts, and it waits. I watched that stubbornness up close for 444 days. What bothers me most isn't that Iran is winning this moment — it's that we handed it to them. Tehran's framework is running these negotiations. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz. Still collecting tolls. Trump looked at their proposal and called it workable. I never thought I'd see the day, but here we are. Iran wants everything on the table — sanctions, enrichment rights, American troops out, and a deal that covers what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza too. That's a lot to swallow. And Israel, which wasn't invited to this conversation, is already making clear it has no intention of being constrained by it. That's the part that worries me the most. Because if Israel keeps bombing and Washington can't or won't stop it, none of this holds. And yet — and I say this as someone who has every reason to distrust Tehran — I don't think we go back to all-out war. Not because anyone has suddenly gotten wise, but because the math doesn't work. A second round ends the same way. Iran still controls the Strait. The global economy still flinches when Tehran flexes. What we're heading toward isn't peace. It's something smaller and more precarious — two countries silently agreeing not to destroy each other today, with no paperwork and no guarantees. I know what it's like to survive on something that fragile. For 444 days, that's all I had.

@NicholasLissack Bring back Savak.

I’m in London, marching with 30k brave Iranian patriots to the US embassy, demanding President Trump finish the job. Iran must be liberated to save both the Iranian people and Western civilisation from Islamist nuclear terrorism. We will never stop. Free Iran. Javid Shah!

@ZionistAF2 @brosen1501 @NickKristof Pretty sure history has Reagan campaign team working with the new regime in Iran to hang on to the hostages until after the Carter Reagan election.

The reason you spent 444 days as a hostage was because of Jimmy Carter and his appeasement and his lack of strength and lack of pride. The reason you were released is because Ronald Reagan who had the opposite character. What won’t break is the Iranian people. What will break is this regime.

@brosen1501 I understood the Iranians took hostages because the USA gave asylum to the deposed shah and his crew ( including savak officers). The new regime wanted a criminal trial of the shah et al, but USA gave him asylum. So hostages were Iran response.

@WHLeavitt Nobody in the video clip is a communist.

🚨 BOOM! Anti-ICE communists THOUGHT they could get away with obstructing the ICE facility in Miami, Florida But Florida cops PROMPTLY rushed in and arrested dozens of them. Do you support Florida cops? A. Yes B. No.

@Martina Wait till you read what the city of Washington’s new name will be.

What a megalomaniac trump truly is….🙄🙄🙄😵‍💫

@CarlZha White House wants a face saving, vote getting, win.

Doesn't look like the US wants peace

@hum_dunkin The state that did Hannibal Day also attacked Lebanon?

What's happened in Lebanon over the past week is categorically worse than Oct 7 and if you say this most people will, at best, shrug or look at you like you're speaking another language

@haaretzcom Sure, with USA as the mediator! USA embassy in Lebanon chose the Lebanese president.

For Netanyahu to declare victory, he must negotiate faithfully with Lebanon haaretz.com/opinion/editor…

@DefiantLs The irony of the American spokesperson suggesting that the other side should not play the USA!

JD Vance warns Iran, "We'll see. As POTUS said: if Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand! If they try to play us, they'll find the negotiating team is not that receptive."

@anthonyzenkus I too thought voters in some numbers believed she would continue Genocide Joe’s behaviour. The hope was that Trump might not. Looks like that was not quite so.

Kamala Harris lost to Trump because of her stance on Gaza. Polls clearly showed this, as did the secret DNC election autopsy they didn't want to show us. Now more voters than ever have a negative view of Israel - running her again, or any candidate that supports status quo with Israel and its psychotic gov, would be a disaster.

@WhiteHouse When will you be renaming the city?

“I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World. This will be a wonderful addition to the Washington D.C. area for all Americans to enjoy for many decades to come!” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

@RabbiPoupko Any day now the dozens of human rights agencies that used the tern ‘genocide’ Will publicly back track.

Wikipedia has lost all credibility and has been overtaken by the Palestinian propaganda machine.

@LucinehK_ I could never figure out why Lebanon never has had antiaircraft weapons.

I have a serious question and please don’t get mad I’m not very familiar with this topic… what is the point of the Lebanese army if they never do anything?

@Matt_Pinner Ned Hanlen!

Can you name ONE famous Canadian?

@ShaykhSulaiman Did not that huge USA embassy in lebanon choose the president for Lebanon?

BREAKING: STATEMENT BY THE MEDIA OFFICE OF THE LEBANESE PRESIDENCY: Based on the initiative launched by President General Joseph Aoun, which is centered on diplomatic efforts through declaring a ceasefire and moving toward direct negotiations with Israel, and following the international and Arab contacts recently conducted by President Aoun in light of escalating Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the US administration has decided to assign the US State Department to act as a mediator between Lebanon and Israel In implementation of this, and based on President Aoun’s directives to the Lebanese ambassador in Washington, a phone call took place at 9:00 p.m. Beirut time. It marked the first contact between Lebanon, represented by its ambassador in Washington Nada Hamadeh Maawad, and Israel, represented by its ambassador in Washington Yechiel Leiter, with the participation of US Ambassador to Lebanon Michael Issa, who is currently in Washington During the call, it was agreed to hold the first meeting next Tuesday at the US State Department to discuss the announcement of a ceasefire and the timing for the start of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel under US sponsorship

@briebriejoy During the nomination race in 2020 she won no delegates. She quit. Then was chosen as running mate when Democratic leadership ended their nomination race.

It’s crazy to me that these people have the option to chill out with a 300k think tank post, some million dollar board seats, a handful of ghost written book deals, Netflix specials and six figure speaking fees, and they insist on thrusting themselves upon us instead of being rich private citizens approaching retirement age.

@WhiteHouse Depressing to see, again and again, how much politics both domestically and internationally, is about saving face. Men, and their vanity! Ecclesiastes is right.

"The Iranians don’t seem to realize they have no cards..." - President Donald J. Trump

@ForecasterEnten The tv ratings regime!

Tucker Carlson has been in absolute free fall among the GOP. His net favorable has dropped by 47 points. Meanwhile, Trump crushes Tucker among the GOP. Trump's net favorable is 54 pts higher than Carlson's. When you up against Trump, you in the grinder to quote Good Burger.
