Thanks! Doing my best to not let… you know… gestures vaguely at everything this shit damage my calm too much

You’ve more or less elucidated my thoughts on the matter and this amusing tankie interaction; cheers for that 🍻

It’s really wild that you’re sticking to your guns on that point in the face of mountains of easily-confirmable evidence to the contrary.

It was not negotiated by your boy. It was negotiated by the US Department of State months ago. The only material difference is timing. The timing is such that it makes Trump look good to uncritical minds, kool-aid drinkers, and gives bad-faith actors (such as Trump, his envoy, and yourself) a thin veneer of credibility about “stopping the violence” when what actually happened was a prolongation of the violence for political benefit.

Tell me you didn’t bother to read the article without telling me you didn’t bother to read the article

Hey, you can’t use that line, I already used it. Please draw another card.

For what it’s worth, I refuse to watch news networks, and have done for many years now, due to the utter drivel they push, and the breathless, manufactured urgency and false equivalence they habitually resort to. I do my best to source and corroborate things I consume across a broad ideological and geopolitical range. I’m fully aware of the rampant idiocy that Biden stuck to for large swaths of his term (and more broadly, his whole fucking career). As a result of that, I’m not ever going to agree that Trump in any way shape or form improved the situation in Gaza.

If anything, my read on it is that he likely prolonged the slaughter by getting his envoy to push Bibi to time it like this - honestly, it’s… suspiciously convenient for Trump that Bibi agreed to the same fucking thing that was presented the better part of a year ago, and that it just happens to almost exactly align with his inauguration.

This is all just part of Trump trying to project the image that he’ll “fix things on day one”. But he’s incapable of that, and only knows how to sandbag and sabotage shit so the timing makes him look better to his domestic American audience (who often consume stories like this in an uncritical and non-skeptical fashion, which is a tendency Trump is fully aware of and relies on quite consistently).

Cool copypasta bro.

You already used that in another fork of, what I’ll (very charitably) call, this “conversation”.

I’m not in this interaction to litigate reality with you. I’m here to see how long it’ll take for you to stop trying to troll everyone who actually understands the full context of the situation.

Even lower effort. Lmao.

Here’s the context I was talking about, which you are evidently unable to locate yourself.

The point is that there’s nothing materially different about the deal that your boy “worked out”, save for the timing. Do you not understand that this sort of mafia-esquire ratfucking is a well-known tactic that Trump and his circle regularly and enthusiastically use?

lol I see the insult effort has dropped precipitously

What in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? What you’re saying is utterly unmoored from reality.

Your refusal to believe or understand facts and context around the negotiation is deeply telling. Just so you understand why we are all continuing to downvote you.

Also:

Hold on choom, gotta call my ripperdoc real quick, brb

lol, you again?

Lmao do you not get that nobody else believes the utter nonsense you’re spouting, and that we’re only continuing to interact with you to see how long you’re going to stick to your guns and whinge about the utterly unhinged worldview you’re pushing?

Lmao holy shit, this guy is wild
