Sky News coverage is extremely good and includes the comparison of Vance saying on NBC that Iran's nuclear weapon programme has been substantially delayed and Trump insisting on SM that NBC is fake news and that Iran's nuclear capability was totally destroyed.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Rather than post about Iran launching missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar, he’s whining about news coverage of what happened on Saturday.

Wasn’t that the interview Vance did and then subsequently came off air and admitted that they didn’t know if they’d destroyed any of it because they don’t know where it is.

I think the precedent is for the WH to say we don’t want to escalate and this is expected retaliation and then for the orange one to go onto Truth Social and rant that he’s going to bomb them into oblivion and thank them for their attention to this notice.

You weren’t wrong about the “thank you for your attention in this matter” 😂😂😂

Igotjelly · 23/06/2025 20:58

And he’s thanked Iran!! What the holy mother of fucking god 😂😂

RafaistheKingofClay · 23/06/2025 20:59

It’s his favourite sign off.

I wonder what people did in the days before international diplomacy was carried out on social media.

😂 I don’t think anyone had thanking Iran on their bingo card.

I like the idea of a missile being set free.

This sort of tweet is usually followed by an insane rambling u turn within 24hrs.

I do think for all his faults Trump would genuinely like to be considered a President of peace and as a deal maker.

Interestingly CNN reporting senior Israeli officials as saying the campaign in Iran is almost complete.

Because why shouldn’t you be allowed to deport brown people to the most convenient country with brown citizens. It’s all the same, right? Places with brown foreigners.

And I would genuinely like to be seen as a domestic goddess, perfectly groomed with the perfectly tidy house. Ahhhh, dreams!😁

I actually thought this thread had turned to comedy up thread, then I remembered it really happened.

LlttledrummergirI · 23/06/2025 22:06

He's a fucking halfwit with shit for brains. I am so fucking sick of his incoherent, war mongering, whinging and whining. For fucks sake America, wake up.

He is such a piece of shit

Serpentstooth · 23/06/2025 22:44

Bigly's found Elon's MDMA stash? Anyway, thank you littledrummer, my feelings precisely.

Trump has said Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire.

eta
No reaction from Israel or Iran but both countries have issued evacuation orders for certain parts of the country.

RafaistheKingofClay · 24/06/2025 00:12

The state of this. He really has been at the drugs.

I think the regime change the world needs is here in the US

PerkingFaintly · 24/06/2025 01:37

I'll be very pleased if there is a proper ceasefire under that pile of self-congratulatory twaddle.

He falsely claimed credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire – but the ceasefire is real in spite of him. So I do have some hope.

Igotjelly · 24/06/2025 05:15

If there is any sort of ceasefire (and that’s a big if) he’s going to be totally insufferable isn’t he? Wonder if he’ll also get his peace prize 😑

JoshLymanSwagger · 24/06/2025 06:37

A cynic would say that the whole thing seems to have been rather orchestrated towards his end goal of getting that damn Nobel Prize.

MsJinks · 24/06/2025 06:47

If anything was likely to make me renege on a ceasefire it would be that immense drivel the orange man posted. But obviously I hope it is followed as it’s more important than pride.
I have many questions around it though -
How can the US be sure nuclear capability is destroyed? Is Iran going to cooperate with checks? I’m assuming this is the reason (officially) for the US strikes and the rest was garbled garbage. But how can anyone trust the US when they seemingly just stopped negotiating on nuclear stuff and instead went ‘nuclear’ themselves - where does this put future discussions?
But was Israel attacking Iran for this outcome - I thought it was to destroy terror leaders? Or possibly drive regime change? Is this outcome assured? Or no longer wanted? Why is Netanyahu suddenly allowing Trump to control Israel’s plan?
What did Trump do to achieve ceasefire agreement? Was it a literal nuclear threat? I appreciate Iran is militarily vulnerable but what can he threaten Israel with?
Why do they need 6 hours to wind down - weren’t missions/bombs unable to be stopped - I think there may be a real reason for this that I just don’t know about.
So I’m glad if it’s done and perhaps there are no answers I could understand being less than knowledgeable about military operations and the international political sphere, but then I can’t help but think it was a terrible way for all the old guys to Willy wave at each other - such a waste of resources and sadly life.
