Probably didn't want to distract from his corrupt mate, Infantile's big opening night.

Or squeeze some highly profitable trades in before the weekend? (or his mates doing the trades)

Now he's saying he will sign a peace deal tomorrow, Sunday, to end the war.
Heard this one before, but 🤷‍♂️

It’s a running joke that will keep going through panto season.
I hope I’m wrong.

Just as a long awaited truce was on the cards, Israel launch an unprovoked attack on Beirut, seemingly in an attempt to scuttle any deal.
Even Trump is getting pissed off now.

Indeed, but will the fat orange bastard actually do anything concrete about it? He seems to be completely out of his depth.

Shush, please. The FOB is trying to snooze, and there's a load of noise already coming from the lawn... grown men seem to be having a bit of a choreographed disagreement.

You are getting WWE confused with MMA.
It definitely isn’t choreographed. It’s very real and not very nice.

Well, whatever it is, the FOB will get a bit of looking at sweaty men if he stays awake, and dreaming about the size of Arnold Palmer's genitals if he drifts off.

No, no - Hegseth says it was restrained retaliation for Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel. Trump obviously hasn’t been given the message from his bosses yet.

 

[Milzy]

The best market manipulation he’s done so far. More to come.

Probably been raised elsewhere (sorry) but given the cessation of hostilities terms include Israel stopping in Lebanon, does anybody have any confidence Trümp can control Netanyahu enough to stop him (stop him doing what he sees as helping his election prospects as well as destroying any peace with Iran).

Raised in Russia thread but maybe also applies here, what can leaders do when they panic and Netanyahu looks to now be in a difficult domestic position with all sides of the political spectrum criticising the deal both in relation to Iran and Lebanon, his electoral prospects plummet which makes his court case and prison terms more likely ... he might be getting desperate.
