Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLooks like Rapin' War Monger Typo Grampy is soiling his diaper while waving a white flag in the direction of Iran.
Writing in all caps, Trump said, I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
Trump made a typo within his first few words, writing PLEASE instead of PLEASED. He also wrote WITCH instead of WHICH.
He continued: BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WITCH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS.

As President Trump escalates his attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite.

'No Kings' movement set to sweep California with mass protests planned for March 28
The Brief
Over 3,000 "No Kings" protests are scheduled nationwide for March 28, with California leading the movement with over 300 confirmed local events.
Organized by Indivisible and the ACLU, the mobilization aims to be the largest in U.S. history, following massive turnouts in June and October 2025.
Organizers emphasize a strictly nonviolent approach, explicitly requesting that participants refrain from bringing any weapons to the demonstrations.
In California alone, 320 events are currently tracked, with major gatherings planned for Los Angeles City Hall, the California State Capitol in Sacramento, and Embarcadero Plaza in San Francisco.

(32,150 posts)Iran denies these talks. Blowing up nuclear power plants is a fucking war crime and military brass should refuse to follow that order.
Postponing a war crime is not OK, not ever considering it is the right response.
This is the 2nd article that borders on a right wing talking point. Krasnov's use of threatening war crimes gets Iran to negotiate is a fucking lie. Iran denies that talks are progressing as Krasnov claims they are.

(32,150 posts)and one reason is that I got spanked last night for a post where my point was that ICE doesn't go after rich undocumented workers it only goes after poor people. My post was considered a right wing talking point.
Look at all of the cut and paste articles this morning and every one misses the main point. Krasnov postpones committing war crimes to get his way was never mentioned, I had to do my own thread, maybe it will get alerted on?
Are there any other sites similar to DU that you go to? I need a backup in case I get tossed. I don't do X or Bluesky.

(927 posts)Iran simply tweeted back a long list of all the power stations they'd obliterate in response, along with maps. And the promise of a new weapon. I'd post links but it's too hit or miss here.
There are no negotiations underway with the United States.
We reject Trumps claim about ongoing talks, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept any negotiations until its objectives in the war are achieved. Trumps remarks are a retreat from his earlier threats, but Irans position has not changed. As for the Strait of Hormuz, we reaffirm that this passage will remain closed to aggressors.
Ras Al-Khair Desalination → LARGEST in the world → millions lose water
Shuqaiq Power Plant → southern Saudi grid GONE
Al Kharsaah Power Plant → Qatar grid hit
Ras Laffan C Power + Water → Qatar's lifeline GONE
UAE Taweelah Desalination → one of Gulf's biggest → UAE water supply hit
UAE Barakah Power Plant → UAE's NUCLEAR plant → strike = fallout risk
Bahrains Al Dur Power + Water → Bahrain's PRIMARY water source → 60% dependent
North Zour Power Plant → Kuwait's largest → 90% desalination dependent
Aqaba Thermal → Jordan's south grid
Samra Power Plant → 40% of Jordan's total electricity

(23,026 posts)Didn't check the user's profile to see their country of origin, so I don't know if it was in our out of the U.S, but it was basically "Is this happening because of America's inability to impeach their president?"
And sadly, the answer...at least in part...is "yes."

(77,240 posts)In his report, released in April 2019, Mr. Mueller concluded that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Trump campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.
