      When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

      the epstein class spending billions on secret doomsday bunkers while simultaneously ramping up climate change to the extremeeee proves that they have a different definitions of words like “desperate,” so it’s probably best that the world doesn’t find out what their definition is.

        Your comments seem based around the idea that this particular group of people EVER responds in any way other than demanding more.

        Iran is winning this conflict.

        No matter what the US media says, Iran is winning this conflict.

        There is no reason to negotiate with the US and let the US gain a foothold that the US can exploit to actually potentially force Iran to lose.

        I’m not saying that Iran’s leadership are good people. I’m just pointing out that they don’t gain anything by giving things to the US.

          i agree – i’m just afraid of trump or isreal using nukes and trigering world war 3 as a result.

            I think that Trump or Israel using nukes would make very clear the danger Trump continuing to be in power and Israel continuing to have power cause to the rest of the world, and it might be interesting to see whether the rest of the world acts on that, given that nuclear weapons are not the only hugely destructive weapons now and given that other weapons have significantly more precision in their actions.

              they’ve proven multiple times over the decades that money is more important than humanity since everone’s savings/retirements/pension/etc. are tied to isreal

              if things right now are any indication, their supporters will support harder and their opponents will oppose harder. ww3 sounds like it’s already happening.
