If you stop by here with any degree of regularity, you know that I’ve been on top of this whole Israel-Iran situation. I’ve painted Israel as the enemy and Iran as the victim. I stand by that. I’ve also discussed the potential for a World War III happening sooner rather than later.
To be honest, as scary as a third world war us, I was kind of hoping to see things escalate over in that region. I was even kind of anxious to see someone turn the nuclear key and send things flying. Up until a few minutes ago, such things seemed realistic.
But, no! Things just had to go the peaceful route. Within the past half hour or so, President Donald Trump told the world that the two warring countries have agreed to some sort of a cease fire that will be phased in over the next day or so.
Trump announced the news on Truth Social. He wrote that the ceasefire will take effect at midnight on the east coast. He then stated that the war will then be over. Yes, yes, I know that’s good news, but just when I think something fun will happen, people come their senses and ruin my fun.
I mean, seriously…son of a bitch! It makes more sense when you picture Peter Griffin with his arms stretched out and saying that in his best voice.
There may be some glimmer of hope, however. Trump told the world on behalf of the American people, but so far, at least as by the time that this article was written, neither Israel (bad!) nor Iran (good!) have said anything. That may mean that Trump’s ceasefire might not actually happen. Who knows? Only time.
ABC News is reporting that Iran will lay down their arms first and Israel will supposedly follow suit. So, over the course of a day, the warring nations will stop their a-fussin’ and a-feuding. I’ll believe it when I see it.
If everything happens as Trump says it will, the conflict of 12 days will come to a halt. That is, of course, if both the countries follow through on their word. Also, some encouraging news: a ceasefire, by definition is a temporary stand down. So there is hope, albeit a slight one, that things will fire back up, escalate and amuse the entire world.
I think that can all agree that the next 24 hours will be suspenseful. Will either of the countries go back on their word? If they do, then nuclear warfare is still on the table. Therein lies the entertainment, folks. I really wanted to see something get vaporized.
So again I say…son of a bitch!
