Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

    What in the fuck? When Iran retaliates, are these people gonna cry that Iran broke the ceasefire?

    This is so childish.

      They are going to say that literally nothing is breaking the cease fire, unless Iran does something large enough to rile up the US population.

      The moment the ceasefire is “broken” they need to go before congress and get their stamp of approval on the war. But so long as they are in a ceasefire, they don’t have to do that.

      So they are going to continue with the war, but constantly claim that their acts of war aren’t breaking the cease fire, so they still aren’t at war, so they still don’t need congress.

      Straight from Russian playbook. Just straight up lie in front of the whole world. Your fanatics will believe you anyways and the doubters won’t know who to trust.

        As a “doubter,” I know not to trust a single word ever said by Trump. The only thing that matters are his actions, because those can be read no matter what he wants me to think.

          If you think for a moment the government didn’t know some shenanigans was up on the Pearl harbor invasion… Rest assured they knew something was going to happen they didn’t expect Pearl harbor to be it… but the powers that be we’re looking for something to justify the United States entering the war

        If anything, Russia is using the long established playbook belonging to the US.
