      We’ll definitely have to wait to see this all shakes out in practice, but I do think we’re starting to see material reality catch up with the empire. Iran proved to be too tough a nut to crack, and now the empire has no good options left. The fact that there are serious talks happening on Iranian terms shows that Iran is in the dominant position here.

        I agree with everything you said, and shitrael is still committing genocide throughout the Levant, and Lebanon is a red line, unless Iran forebears. And I get it if they do.

        At the same time, my heart breaks for those Israel continues to genocide.

            Iran won’t be able to do that by themselves. Israel will keep bombing Lebanon hoping to bait Trump back into a war. I’m hoping that Trump finally realizes how badly the Israelis were fucking with him and gets tired of them.

              The US wouldn’t be capitulating right now if they were in a position to continue the war, and Israel can’t do shit on its won. They will absolutely try to keep the war going, but they’re running up against material limits here. I also doubt Trump himself really matters all that much here, there’s a huge amount of political capture by Israel in the US, and this lobby is going to push for war no matter what. But US economy and military industry isn’t capable of continuing it.

                Israel started the war again. They don’t care about reality anymore. They’re completely insane and I don’t think Trump has the power to stop Israel, to see Israel or the US as a rational actor right now is strategically dangerous. When have fascists ever been wed to material reality. If that were the case the world would look very different.

                  Bibi is going to jail if the war stops, so he can’t stop the war. But I agree it goes beyond him, the whole society is fascist and it this point not even rational anymore.

                    Do you really think the libs are going to lock any one up??? They’re so fucking captured by capital idk if I trust those fuckers to do anything anymore. I agree that Hitler I mean Bibi wants to keep the war going for as long as possible. All I know is I hope to see the fucking day some of these people are executed for all the pain and suffering they unleashed onto the world, and I don’t really believe in the death penalty, but the amount of pain and chaos they unleashed onto all of us has to be punished.
