I hope peaceful relations become the norm and we go back to arguing over what should the Tamtu Šaplītu be named today.

If the US gets pushed out of West Asia, I think we'll see peace and stability in the region emerge very quickly.

[–] Ross86@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

With warmongering jizzreal and the Ussa thirsting for more land and oil i doubt there will be peace in the middle east anytime soon.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I hope so too.

I feel like the big question is going to be how Trump responds, since he's a flip of a coin. This agreement could get him the ability to disengage from the Middle East to focus on Cuba (what he wants, not what I want), but I can see the Zionist wing in office not wanting peace between the Arab world and Iran.

Maybe the Arab world would choose to break with the USA over this. However, I don't know what the implications would be if that happened.

Pretty much all arab leadership want "peace" with Israel. The issue is the Arab street/people absolutely do not want to with varying degrees.

IMO this depends more on economy than relations. If gulf oil is seen as too risky, or restricted by Iran after this, then that would gradually release the USA's interest in the gulf, as Washington pivots towards greater energy independence and oil integration with LATAM. However, Israel will always swing the American MIC towards war with ME countries (probably Turkiye and/or Syria next after Lebanon and Iran today)

Yes , Northern Koreans live Simpler lives I guess

They're not being turned into Gaza a second time, so I think they're doing very well, considering the most militant power in human history wants them to suffer for denying American Imperialism

[–] BillMangionee@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Even the NY Times will tell you it was always Israel's war we're fighting.

[–] Pissed@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Because he didn't realise the Iranians actually have the military capability to hurt him?

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Theres no because.

It was and always has been Israel begging for war.

Try not to fall for propaganda next time, alright buddy?

[–] tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

when did he beg ? it was Israel always begging to attack Iran !

[–] BillMangionee@lemmy.ml -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm a bit skeptical of that given their capabilities were already demonstrated on Israel in the "12 day war".

I think its typical arab snaking tbh.

[–] Pissed@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

They thought they'd blown their load, I'm serious they're that stupid. This is the same guy who wanted to build Neom...

Saudi officials rejected the idea that Prince Mohammed has pushed to prolong the war.

This article is based on interviews with people who have had conversations with American officials

actual copium

as i said in my other comment, try not to fall for propaganda.

[–] BillMangionee@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't trust the state department- I mean NYT either, but you're not as intelligent as you think you are with that reply.

"the americans said yes but the saudis said no" wow golf clap you got me there so smart

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

the americans said yes

that is the issue.

you still fall for american propaganda, its not even from the officials themselves, its from random people who "talked" to officials.

[–] BillMangionee@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

bubba i dont believe the article, why are you so dense?

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

im not being dense, youre being contradictory. you claim he begged trump for the war, you then proceed to give me a source you dont believe in?

ive got two pieces of advice for you now, stop falling for propaganda, and stop contradicting yourself.

[–] BillMangionee@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

sometimes people make comments they may not fully believe in to drive discussion...

[–] cheesorist@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Then another advice to you Learn to phrase your question in a way that doesn't confirm potentially invalid information, especially if you dont believe in it

An example: didn't he beg trump for the war? why is he going against that now?
