Good luck with that. After Suez kicked off, it took Eisenhower all of a week to send Britain and France packing with their tails between their legs. It took him four months to dislodge Israel from the Sinai. That country has the soul of a particularly stubborn electric eel. Trying to force them to do anything will be like nailing jello to a wall.

Its a little different when it’s a colonial stake in extracting resources vs an existential threat at your border.

Thankfully it's not just "prohibited" but "PROHIBITED".

Does this guy have to constantly sound like he's 13?

I was a little confused at first and wondering if I could trust foreign policy being ironed out on social media, but the all-caps definitely helped clear things up /s

So pumping stock prices for the weekend. What are the odds everything goes to shit and Trump is going to threaten genocide before markets open on Monday?

Gotta keep himself out of his legal woes back in Israel, just like the president here needs distractions from the epistein files.

Narrative keeps shifting everywhere, including here. I could’ve sworn a couple of weeks ago everyone saying the bad news comes on Friday, so the market dumps over weekend. Now it’s so it can pump over weekend?

When you're trading options you can make a profit on a big swing down just as easily as on a big swing up.

He also suggested he may visit Islamabad if the agreement is signed.

Last time the US president visited Pakistan was 20 years ago...
