@Nonilex Confirmed, this is how wars work. Wars never start when one country violently attacks another. That's just not a thing.

Sarcasm aside, I think there's really something important to be said for the fact that the regime is trying to force wars to start in ways that let them bypass actually getting Congress to actually declare war as is actually required.

I 'm surprised he speaks...especially when Trump's ass is in his mouth

lakelady@mstdn.social · 26/02/26/vance-no-chance-us-will-be-drawn-out-war-middle-east/

@Nonilex my thoughts exactly

@Nonilex

So that confirms it, we going to be at war with Iran for the rest of my life.

Not long nor drawn out! They will be sure to implement an unrealistic end date when a democratic admin will be in place.

#Iran & the #UnitedStates held hours of indirect negotiations Thursday over Tehran’s #nuclear program but walked away without a deal, leaving the danger of another #MiddleEast #war on the table as the #US has gathered a massive fleet of aircraft & warships in the region.

It would appear to me that the USA doesn’t want a deal they want war. Infuriating!!

Secy of State #MarcoRubio will make a trip to #Israel early next week as tensions between the #US & #Iran soar amid a massive buildup of US forces in the #MiddleEast, the State Dept said Friday.

The dept said in a statement that #Rubio would visit Israel on Monday & Tuesday to “discuss a range of regional priorities including Iran, #Lebanon, & ongoing efforts to implement President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan for #Gaza.” It offered no other details.

The announcement comes just hours after the #US Embassy in #Jerusalem implemented “authorized departure” status for non-essential personnel & family members, which means that eligible staffers can leave the country voluntarily at government expense.

The US Embassy in #Israel on Friday told its staff that it could leave the country & urged anyone considering departure to do so immediately.

In an email #US Ambassador #MikeHuckabee urged staff considering departure to do so quickly, advising them to to focus initially on getting any flight out of #Israel & to then make their way to Washington.

“Those wishing to take AD should do so TODAY,” Huckabee wrote, using an acronym for “authorized departure.”

…Huckabee said that there was no need for panic, but for those desiring to leave, it was important to make plans soon.

The email was recounted to The AP by someone involved with the #US mission who wasn’t authorized to share details.

The email came a day after #Iran & the #UnitedStates walked away from #nuclear negotiations without a deal, in their third round of nuclear talks in Geneva.

…Acc/to a confidential report by the #IAEA circulated to member states & seen Friday by AP, #Iran has NOT granted the #UN nuclear watchdog access to its nuclear facilities affected by the 12-day war in June, & as a result can’t confirm whether or not Iran has stopped its enrichment or the size of its stockpile.

Airlines such as Netherlands-based KLM have already announced plans to suspend flights out of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport, & other embassies have also made plans for authorized departures from #Israel & neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Foreign Office said that “due to the #security situation, #UK staff have been temporarily withdrawn from #Iran.” It said that the embassy was operating remotely.

#Australia on Wednesday “directed the departure of all dependents of Australian officials posted to #Israel in response to the deteriorating security situation in the #MiddleEast.” #China, #India & several European countries with missions in Iran advised citizens to avoid travel to the country as well.

I love how men who’ve never served can predict the outcome of a war. Good luck America. You’re going to need it.

pinchy63@ottawa.place

@Nonilex
Nothing says we are willing to negotiate like building up a military fleet right outside their door.

CIRCLE WITH A DOT

lol. Yeah. Right.
