Ceasefire

A ceasefire in Iran was welcome news last night. Our President’s threats and actions the last few days were concerning to say the least. Alas, it all ended in yet another TACO and the world could breathe a bit.

The word on how this war came to be is equally parts infuriating and terrifying. It’s becoming evident that Trump went against the advice of his cabinet in starting this war. The thought of an overconfident man who doesn’t listen to his advisors having the power that he does is absolutely terrifying.

He was absolutely played like a fiddle by Netanyahu. I suppose none of us should be surprised. Weeks into the war, it’s also clear that he did not have a plan and had hoped the Iranians would fold. Someone should have taught him a history lesson in some of America’s previous wars.

For now, a ceasefire provides some hope for peace. I have no idea how long the peace will last, but we can hope for another TACO at least.
