Dear Folks,

I guess most people know by now that Trump attacked Iran during the subterfuge of offering an Olive Branch, and a Fig Leaf, and sincere negotiation/diplomacy…

But then, Trump Said:  Surprise Attacks are Good (just paraphrasing a bit)

And so who is the Goose and who is the Gander?

Is Trump the Goose, in this case?

And, will Iran treat the ceasefire as merely a Joke on Trump, and no more than Trump and The BB deserve?

There have now been credible reports of continued missile attacks on Israel, Post-Ceasefire-Agreement.

These reports are coming out of Israel, as you probably know by now.

But, back to the Goose......

In this new world in which we live, especially with the likes of Trump and The BB, nobody can trust no-one….

Is this true?

Do YOU think Iran is just joking with Trump, after receiving the same treatment from Trump and The BB, so many times in the past?

And, of course, The BB states that there is NO Ceasefire for Lebanon, because ... .why should Israel not prolong the killing there, when there is less pain involved for Israel?

What a true Paradise, Israel has turned out to be, abloomin’ in the desert.

How can there be a ceasefire, anyway, in that place?

Best regards,

Glad I am not Israeli, for sure…..

You sound more stressed than usual GG. Go have a rub and a tug, then goose the gander and all will be right as rain in paradise again.

People are saying it was the biggest TACO Tuesday ever, nobody has ever seen anything like it. And I know TACOs, believe me. I invented them. This is a monster sized TACO, one for the history books, the likes of which the world has never seen before.

Your crudity knows no bounds, Sir....but, anyway.....I am just reporting the facts, and asking well-meaning questions:

https://time.com/7297098/israel-iran-ceasefire-broken-missile-strikes-tehran/

So, my question in the Headline Is: Is this just TIT FOR TAT?

Is this merely Iranian payback, or false-diplomacy payback?

Who is the goose now?

And who is the gander?

For Sure, the LAST thing The BB would want, at this point, without first having the chance to lob a few NUKES at Iran...would be....

Ceasefire and Peace....

The BB has waited TOO LONG for this moment.

He will not let his dream escape, now.....

Me? Crude? It's called satire my dear boy. A play on words. One of your favorite pursuits. But let us not forget how many posts and topics of yours have been removed for that very reason over the years. What happened to the last topic you posted a couple of days ago about Hitler and Himmler? A hit for the ages. The word "unhinged" comes to mind. It was gone in 30 seconds!

In answer to your question, no. Iran will have relatively autonomous units carrying out predetermined instructions. It naturally can take a little while for everyone to get the message.

You know what?

I have too often heard it stated on TV, only by Aussies, that it is only the Aussies who truly understand satire, and irony, at the deepest level.

However, I have yet to see any evidence of this, though I have been here longer than you.

How long will we be required to wait before:

a. Trump gets the message

b. The BB gets the message

How long, has this been going on.....

I say: It's all up for grabs, BRO......

Sorry, mate, I'm not Aussie. And I think the Brits would argue they invented satire. Monty P!

Highly unlikely. But if that thought gives you comfort, then let it be yours.

So, behave as you post then, and refrain from calling him Shirley, or is your next comment "He started it, mummy"

Which room?

The Oval Office room?

Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Get over it. Israel runs the show and Trump is getting some payback for what Iran did to our troops in Iraq, our Hostages and that part of the world. OK.

The war will end when the IDS says so. Not Trump. Deal with it.

We can get Obama to come back and give them another 100 billion dollars if that will make you happy.

It won't make us happy.

But, it might make the world happier than it is right now.

Don't you think?

This thread is like a Monty Python sketch. It's utter nonsense posts, by people that think they are funny, which nobody understands.

Which you have obviously failed to do!

This is a new style of war. Nothing like a cease fire to give the troops a rest and the maintenance guys a chance to catch up, refit and restock and reprovision.

The 11th MEU should be there by this weekend. Stay tuned LOL

No worries....

Who would want to miss the end of the world?

This will only happen once.

Thank you for this info.

I will enter this date on my calendar.....heading....

The Bewitching Hour.

I just wish we need not wait another 8/9 days.

The suspense is killing me.
