Part Of The Problem
Trump Backed Down

So we just accepted you're going to have to give us a few hours on this and that the U.S.

Part Of The Problem

essentially was willing to look the other way on that and go, OK, fine, let's get the ceasefire going.

Part Of The Problem
Trump Backed Down

But if you remember, so essentially what's happened already, already since this since this ceasefire has been announced, is that Israel immediately afterward.

Part Of The Problem
Trump Backed Down

Because we all know this.

Part Of The Problem

Like we saw the same exact movie play out last summer.

Part Of The Problem

But Israel immediately after the ceasefire is announced, they just launch their biggest offensive in in months on southern Lebanon.

So there, or at least in weeks, at least like six weeks.

They don't actually have a written ceasefire agreement.

Donald Trump said we agree to the 10 point plan in principle, but he didn't exactly say we agree to every goddamn plank of it.

Part Of The Problem

Part Of The Problem
Trump Backed Down

But from the Iranian perspective, they go, hey, one of those planks is that Israel's also got to stop attacking Lebanon.

Part Of The Problem
Trump Backed Down

And they're still attacking Lebanon.

Part Of The Problem

And so then the Israelis come out and go, no, Lebanon's not part of the ceasefire.
