A ceasefire, apparently, which led some members of Dallas HQ to scratch their heads and ask, "So what exactly did we achieve by this little Middle Eastern adventure?" Good question, and I wasted no time picking up the Satphone and speed dialing Pete, "Hey, Pete, it's LSP, what's the story?" He mumbled something about "bunnies" and signed off.
Thanks a lot, SECWAR, but maybe he was worried about opsec and our lack of a SKIF. He needn't have, one was installed today, neatly camouflaged as a water heater. The old SKIF had broken, you see, and we had to get a new one. It works well and I enjoyed talking with the lead SKIF Tech about hunting and fishing, mostly fishing.
He wasn't too keen on people who boasted about catching small trout after clambering about in streams with waders, and even less keen on a pal who took his teenage daughter(!) hog hunting with knives only, "He showed me the video, man," and grimaced. I made the sign of the Cross, with good reason.
That in mind, some people can get bloodthirsty and perversely weird in the hunting field. I've noticed this and don't like it, not that I'm any kind of expert. Going for fish on the Brazos or Lake Whitney? Different story. Speaking of which, must get back on the water and SKIF Tech agreed, "Gotta clean out the boat first, renew the tag." And that's just it, d'ye need a boat to get on the fish?
I asked my friend about this, who grinned in that toothy way of his, offering nothing; not unlike Pete when you think on it. My take? Boats are evidently a hassle, which you circumvent by having a friend with one or several and using theirs, see the UK. Problem is, you don't get something for nothing. If, for example, you abuse and mock and scorn your old pal, he's unlikely to let you on his boat.
There's a moral in this short tale of North Central Texan life, if you care to draw it.
Yours,
LSP

It's too early to tell; but what it looks like so far is that the Globalists wanted to extricate the US (either from fear of escalation that they couldn't control or from fear of certain defeat) and want to continue the war through their proxies Israel and the Gulf States. IOW, turn it into a Ukraine-style conflict where they profit and others do the fighting.
War, my dear NW, is most certainly a racket.
The way I see it, Trump set up whomever is in charge in Iran. "Hey, let's do a 2 week cease-fire, sound good?" "Okay! (launches more attacks..."
It's what radical muslims, from Iran to Hezbollah and Hamas and the Houties and, well, pert near everyone, do. They'll agree and then break it. We saw this in the Israel-Gaza war recently.
And here's the thing. Thanks to feckless Eurotrash and Democrats, Trump has to at least be seen as trying to do cease fires and such. It's not Trump's fault that the idjits (Iranian hardliners, Eurotrash and Demonrants) can't just stop being asshats.
Plus it gives the US a chance to shift assets and do an in-depth bomb damage assessment of everything.
An acquaintance replaced his water heater and put the old one on the curb with a "Free" sign. It sat for two days. He replaced the sign with one that said, "For Sale $200". The old heater was gone within hours.
Beans please stay up to date.

SNIP TEV AVIV, Israel — Israel’s military launched what it described as its most powerful attacks on Lebanon Wednesday, reportedly killing hundreds and turning joy over the ceasefire in Iran into panic.
Verified video and photos from the region showed how sprawling strikes across parts of Beirut, southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley shot towering columns of acrid smoke into the sky above Lebanon’s capital and sparked a desperate evacuation.
What part of a ceasefire did the Israelis miss?
BTW when Asia, Vietnam, India and China stop sending the WORLDS Medicine supply (well over 90%) BECAUSE Idiots KEEP Shooting and thus CLOSING the Strait for the OIL and Such THEY USE, what's your plan sir?
Beans: If one follows some of the Controlled Opposition's (i.e., the Democrats') complaints about the war, mostly they're complaining that Trump didn't ask their permission first, is sending out vulgar tweets, is mismanaging the military operations, is diverting attention from the Epstein Psyop, or not 'finishing the job' in Ukraine, etc. None of them are critical of enabling Israel or any of the other crimes that the Deep State is committing in the Middle East. It wasn't that long ago that Biden/Harris was trying to force open the Red Sea, bombing Yemen, funding Israeli Genocide, fomenting the Color Revolution in Syria, interfering with Lebanese Elections; and before that Obama set the precedent for extrajudicial killings and targeting foreign leaders such as what was done recently in Venezuela by Trump.
The point being here that both sides serve the same interests, are working for the same goals, and carry out the same means to accomplish them. Don't fall for the propaganda that says that the Republicans are saving Civilization and the Democrats are colluding with our so-called foreign enemies. The biggest foreign threat comes from institutions like the WEF and both parties work for them.
Lebanon wasn't part of the ceasefire agreement.
Genius.
Judging from Iranian public statements, Iran is adamant that the ceasefire covers Hizballah in Lebanon. It is too soon to tell what the President’s Iran “excursion” will bring in the end, but it may be bad for the USA. An interesting comparison I read today discusses the 1956 Suez Crisis as a potentially similar event. France and Britain entered the crisis, by choice, as great world powers. They, plus Israel, won on the battlefield, but Britain and France were reduced to second tier players on the world stage at the end. This is the title of the article, if you’re interested in reading it: От Суэца до Ормуза. Потеряют ли США мировое лидерство после войны в Иране, как Британия и Франция 70 лет назад (From Suez to Hormuz. Will the USA lose world leadership after the war in Iran, as did Britain and France 70 year ago).
Ah, Beans, the old refit and resupply scenario. Hey, conceivable.
Michael, the stakes are high, not least in human lives.
WSF, I stand in awe.
Totally, Wild.
NW, are you talking about the "Uniparty"? Report yourself.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that, LL.
Anon, I've been reflecting on the comparison and will check it out. Thanks.
Israel vs Hezbollah wasn't covered under the seize-fire between Israel/US and Iran. Two different conflicts, same players when you look at it from a distance, that being Israel vs Iran/Hezbollah.
And, of course, nobody's reporting all the mortaring and rocket-launching into Israel from southern Lebanon by Hezbollah. Since it's a daily occurrence it doesn't make the news (that lies to us anyways.)
