Actually it would have been late Monday night. So disappointing.

I think a few people have pointed out to him that it would be a war crime, and he would never be able to visit his golf course in the UK because he would be arrested (after his presidency, of course)

No, there is no war crime exposure. Your deciding it is does not make it so. The facilities are used by the military and are controlled by the IRGC.

You are disappointed because they are talking and as a gesture of good faith, the USA has held off? Isn't it preferable that they talk or is your desire to see the conflict continue?

Strange that you want them to continue the bombing

Oh, so they're talking, are they? That's news to the Iranians, and in this day and age, with the walking garbage can in the WH, the Iranians are more credible than whatever comes out of Washington.

You know for a fact that they are talking? Given that it seems highly unlikely that the Mullahs or th IRGC is going to give Trump anything he wants, I don't think so. But what is clear is that Trump has got a big electoral problem on his hands if he can't find some way to extricate himself from this mess. The simplest explanations that fit the facts are generally the best. It could be otherwise of course. But taking the word of Donald Trump is just plain nuts.

He used the same "very productive negotiations" line on the Tariff Tacos. He was the only attendee at those negotiations too 🙄

The operative word here is 'pause' - Taco-bois inner child has been humiliated having been forced to acknowledge his limitations, there is ample proof that such defeats will bring even worse reactions in narcissists...... will it be a nuclear threat next, from which he thinks he cant climb down?

Bessent was on the Sunday talk-show circus to talk escalation - that was not a partisan outlier, it was the neo-cons talking points, with a twist of religious zealots hidden in plain sight..

Sadly, the off-ramp does not exist in their vocabulary.
