OT: Current Affairs and Politics

Did you only learn that recently?

f**k of merkin

The ceasefire's status clearly ended up uncertain, as Israel ignored Trump and went ahead and dropped a shitload of bombs on Iran anyway. This left an embarrassed and belittled Trump with nothing else to say or do but drop the f bomb about it all to reporters....

The ceasefire’s status was initially uncertain due to reported violations by both Israel and Iran, but it stabilized by June 25, 2025, after Trump’s interventions. Israel did not fully “ignore” Trump, as it scaled back strikes after his call with Netanyahu, though it did conduct a limited strike post-ceasefire. Trump’s use of the f-bomb and frustration are confirmed, but there’s no evidence he was left “embarrassed and belittled” or without action—rather, he actively worked to enforce the truce. The claim’s tone and some details, like the “shitload of bombs” and Trump’s supposed helplessness, are exaggerated or unsupported by the sources. The situation reflects a fragile but ultimately holding ceasefire, with Trump playing a significant role in its enforcement.

I think you'll get bored of using AI (for no meaningful purpose) before we'll get bored of posting opinions for discussion in an internet forum.

But it does seem that the AI you're using is very similar to Pou's posts in response to any footy-related opinion, attempting to dumb everything down into a passionless and valueless neutrality?

And as an aside... aren't the people behind all of the top AI programs the same rich list tech bros who donated millions/billions to Trump's re-election fund? So absolutely no possibility of any inbuilt bias there....

So US have now parked 3 of their carrier groups in Middle East including the biggie. Albeit one of them is due for the scrapyard, I don’t think they expecting eternal ceasefire

Has Trump stopped the Russian invasion of Ukraine yet? It's been a while.....

I dont follow politics but I find Trump mildly amusing.

What I dont get is wtf does Iran and Israel have to do with him ? Its not as though they are threatening his borders.

None of this is over bc as always Israel wants a regime change that is sympathetic to their needs.

Israel wants to be left alone to continue with their "plans". Iran is a stone in their shoe.

Iran doesn't hate Jews, in fact they have a large jewish population and even have a representative in parliament.

Iran doesn't have a problem with jews, but they clearly have a problem with zionists and their "plans".

I don’t know if I’d trust TikTok as a reliable news source. I think all social media platforms are compromised and the algorithm will feed you what you want to hear.

Like I said, no merkin knows the truth, especially you.

Lol, but he thinks parading around and talking about making deals (that don't happen) should earn him the Nobel Peace Prize...

There must be a lot of suckers blinded by the fake hype over in the US is all I can say.

Sure mate.

As Israel attacks, what is life like for Jews in Iran?

Known for its hostility to Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran is also home to a longstanding Jewish community.

You have tall poppy syndrome

 

[hindy111]

Really? Do you read the paper? Watch the news?

No matter which side you sit on, you can’t argue Shorten and labour don’t have any policies. They have probably released the most policies (yeah you may not agree with them) of any federal opposition in a long time.

Did you get fooled by Albo as well?

Definitely a lot of suckers.

Apparently this thing broke the sound of speed, flew through space and landed on the moon lol. Looks like some sort of poor gipsies house

As opposed to poppy seed syndrome... people that think Trump is amazing would have to be under the influence of something.
