Witkoff subsequently conveyed to Iran a new plan that was detailed and acceptable proposal regarding its nuclear program. Iran was ready to discuss. Then June 12 happened disrupting the negotiation.

No. There were no such pre-requisite by Iran. The fact that the Oman talk will proceed indicate that all parties willing come to the table and negotiate.

Facts matter. Trump was committed to June 15 nuclear deal between Israel and Iran in Oman. Israel attack Iran on June 12 night.

Was there an emergency or an element of self-defence? If no emergency, it is unprovoked under the UN Charter. Netanyahu cut short the diplomatic channel and attack Iran while the negotiation was still going on.

It is grave violation of the UN Charter and International law to use force against a sovereign country. Of course in Maga world, conforming to law and order is a woke concept.

If Israel was to be successful in destroying the Fordow and Natanz facilities which is deep in the mountains and under dozens of meters of reinforced concrete, they will need US 30,000 lbs bunker-busting bombs. Hard to understand the thinking behind this war as Israel will not be able to destroy the nuclear facilities and this unprovoked war will only accelerates Iran pursuit of a nuclear deterent. It is Netanyahu's political calculation to stay in power. It will back fired on him. The way forward to serious diplomacy. Trump has handle the diplomacy very poorly.

He pointed out something that must be a concern for all Americans and the world that his mental acuity is a major problem as he turn 79 tomorrow. To think that he still have 3+ years as POTUS is a scary thought.

Doing for decades but not this kind of overreached. Exclusive: Ice officers told to get ‘creative’ with arrests, including of undocumented people encountered by chance

Maybe now ICE will use more common sense in their raid overreached now that Trump has spoken. Taco Trump has reversed his tough position on deportation and expressed sympathy for the concerns of farmers and the hospitality industry on the need for migrant workers.

Yes it is bad now since day one.

illegals run as they have zero rights and will be deported without due process. The problem is ICE mishandling and overreach in arresting undocumented not illegals migrants. Typically those gathering for jobs are undocumented immigrants.

Still holding your faith on no war Trump? Big beautiful bill will now adjustments for defense spending.

US shared intelligence and reconnaissance data with Israel and are inevitably drawn into the war. No war Trump only for the gullibles.

I thought you guys are the anti war folks. Now it is ok to spend tax payers money on war?

Can agree and would further comment that the MENWFZ should be revived to creat the middle-east region free of nuclear weapons. Middle-east is a highly volatile region and having nuclear weapons by any of the countries is simply inviting for something catastrophic to happen.

True but no one lies and cheats more than him and embarrassingly he is the President and belongs to the party of law and order😁

Got to be hard to defend Trump escalating the peaceful protests and now spreading to other states. Hope it wouldn't ruin his North Korea style birthday parade.

Looks like Newsom had the last laugh and Trump as the laughing stock after the Federal judge ruling.

It is never easy whether ending the complicated Gaza or Ukraine war even if you are a bragger like Trump. It takes all the concerned parties to agree not just Hamas. US was close to securing a ceasefire to end the Gaza war in Doha with a preliminary deal. All changed when the US chief negotiator Witkoff changed course and modified the plan that was accepted by Israel thus tossing the deal up in the air. Israel and US might have thought that Hamas have been severely battered and too weak to reject any proposal. Soon after Israel laucned more attacks on Gaza and inflicted more casualties and suffering. Trump's pressure on Netanyahu have been ignored. He can insert lots of pressure on Netanyahu or he is complicit in abetting Netanyahu to go to war with Iran on his behalf.

So Trump didn't end the Gaza war and involved in this middle-east escalation. Didn't he vowed to make the world safer. How much will this new war cost the tax payers.

Ukraine war is Putin's nightmare. It is estimated that Russia military modernisation efforts are being set back by nearly 2 decades as resources and attention are diverted to the invasion. Russia lost an estimate of 100,000 soldiers killed or injured and up to 8,000 armoured vehicles including 2,700 tanks. The invasion is at a stalemate and Russia losses are accumulating.

Elon did a re-calculation and better to be on Trump's side to protect his business. Would not save Tesla. Others government linked busineses will survive.

If lawful, please quote the law. He use a US Code on Armed Service to deploy troops which is not a law in traditional sense. More like guidelines and will not hold up in court if challenged.

So you agree that there are no legal justifications to deploy troops. Just demonstrate to me that he is lawless and acting like an authoritarian leader. But you maga folks are ok with that.

He didn't invoke the Insurrection Act for deploying troops to LA. Quote me if you have that evidence. I am waiting. Are you that dumb or just clutching straw.
