Is there anyway to stop this disaster in the middle east?

[lostincalifornia]

Unless there is an immediate sustained ceasefire, and major diplomatic efforts to prevent wider escalation, that would be the only path I could see, and with the current people who started this, I don't think that is very likely.

The midterms cannot come soon enough, and I don't even know if that can stop this insanity.

1. I fear it's only going to escalate in the United States

with terrorist attacks.

Trump only skill is blowing smoke out his ass, and conning people. This time he really screwed up.

3. People like Trump just keep on conning people and

grabbing everything in sight until they die or until forced to stop by a stronger power.

[Norbert]

2. Don't start it.

Even Reagan in cognitive decline was not feeble minded enough to screw up like this.

Now that this line has been crossed, I haven't the slightest idea.

4. I wish just for the sake

of righteousness that someone would jail the Resident Crim, for crimes against humanity.

5. This morning I was thinking about all the Republican messes newly elected Democratic Presidents get stuck with

and this one may take the top spot. I don't see how Trump reigns this in given his stew of psychoses. His narcissism won't allow him to end it unless the entire world lauds him as a winner and a peacemaker and the Nobel Prize is delivered in person. The next Democrat in the office will spend most of his or her time cleaning up Trump's mess and, like Biden, will be blamed for not returning things to normal fast enough which will lead to the next crackpot GOP President. Wash, rinse, repeat.

6. Maybe the universe demands a human sacrifice.

And we have the exact right person to offer.
The gods would be pleased. And the rest of us, delighted.

7. There was a national referendum on this in November 2024...

The American electorate decided this was what they wanted. It sucks, but.....

[BlueTsunami2018]

8. No. Well, there are ways but Americans aren't up to the task.

So, no.

9. Arrest Trump

Send him in cuffs to Tehran.

Maybe pin a classy card or a nice note on his "Straight" jacket to explain who he is and what he's done.

10. Impeach and remove Trump

That would have an unprecedented effect on international diplomacy right now

[SamuelTheThird]

11. How do you have diplomacy?

We bombed them in the middle of negotiations

12. Not with Trump in office
