The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump may not be the "decider". Israeli PM candidate Bennett on Piers Morgan, today, promising to be Iran's "worst nightmare"

So what? A candidate for PM isn't going to make that decision. By the time the PM elections are done in Israel, we'll have unwound the military buildup. We're not going back to the war posture of March or April, once we pull out. And I doubt that Trump is going to be the least bit interested in what Israel wants after he didn't get his Delcy 2.0.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe told President Trump and other senior officials that intelligence gathered by U.S. intelligence agencies raised serious doubts about Iran's willingness to make the nuclear concessions the U.S. is seeking in any final deal, according to three sources familiar with those discussions.

Of course. No one should think that Iran's going to make the concessions the U.S. is seeking. They've been quite clear that they have red lines that they're not moving on. We're just back where we were in late February, with the U.S. and Iran sitting around a table and Iran refusing to give us what we want and the U.S. refusing to give Iran what they want. We went to war because Trump thought he could force Iran to give us what they wouldn't agree to at the negotiating table. He was wrong. And now that Iran knows that the U.S. won't go far enough to really force them to give up these concessions, they're not going to do so voluntarily.

The war is basically over - we couldn't stand the high oil prices and Trump decided to end the war with us not getting of our goals rather than keep them high any longer.
