Cease fire deal reached for 2 weeks.
The fake news is spreading wrong info like usual about the terms of the deal. Same are also now bashing Trump for not wiping Iran off the face of the earth and how he got punked by Iran/Iran won. I mean, most of their upper leadership are dead, weaponry destoryed, people rising up, sounds like being punked.
from what i've read, not so sure about the "people rising up" part. Seems the IRGC lower echelons still maintain that iron death-grip on the general populace. we'll have to see. Trump gave the Iraqi Kurds a bunch of weapons they were supposed to transfer to the Iranian Kurds, to kick-start the popular revolution, but the Iraqi kurds decided to keep them instead for their own purposes, self-defense. I guess they've been screwed over by the Great America more than once, now looking out for themselves, first.
seems the Iranians are still successfully drone-bombing other arab state refineries, not to mention missiles still landing on Israel, getting past their Iron Dome. still a lot of moving pieces. But hopefully, we're getting there.
Trump really kicked the hornets' nest, and seems the pissed-off hornets took it out on the undefended nearby arab states (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain). Unintended consequences? Seems the arab states weren't expecting that outcome, totally unprepared, seems like high-value critical assets totally undefended. so much complacency, comes from years of peace, I guess, people let their guard down.
And the US F-15 Weapon System Officer wearing Stars & Stripes BVD's, I'll bet that morning when he got dressed, the notion of him getting shot down seemed like an complete impossibility, "nah, never going to happen, i'll wear my US Flag lucky BVD's", to me, that shows arrogance and complacency, underestimating the enemy. Those BVD's where the first thing he disposed of after the ejection seat landing, reality set in, wake-up call, went "commando", couldn't afford to be caught wearing those, would've made for spectacular Iranian National Theater, gleefully carried live on CNN. Probably going to be a new chapter in the SERE training. Maybe it's already in the training, just conveniently forgotten? maybe after his ride getting shot out from under him, and riding the rocket-sled ejection, maybe he did need to change his shorts?
just my observation and 2 cents.
