"The ceasefire is falling apart, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, people are dying in Lebanon, and Trump is out here talking about toll roads with Iran and claiming credit for a regime change that didn’t happen."

"The whole thing is blowing up.

Israel launched over 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in the span of ten minutes. Beirut, South Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley… all hit simultaneously. The footage coming out of Lebanon right now is apocalyptic. … The entire ceasefire framework that Trump agreed to, that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif mediated and announced, explicitly included Lebanon."

"Donald Trump’s demented threats against Iran, amidst his utter debacle in the Middle East, have suddenly accelerated the resistance view that the most important and urgent question in the world is how to remove him from power.

Calls for his impeachment and removal — or the application of the 25th Amendment — are growing louder in the political discourse."

"This morning, the ceasefire was technically in effect.

Also this morning: attacks took place on oil facilities in Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait in the first 12 hours following the announcement.

Trump’s core condition for the deal was the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Ship traffic has not picked up above the handful of daily vessels that have made the trip throughout the war."

"The Strait of Hormuz is shut down again, global shipping is disrupted, and the deal is breaking apart less than 24 hours after it was announced."

"Donald Trump is not a political genius or a genius of any kind. He ran for president out of pure narcissism and accidentally tapped into a thick, rich vein of American stupid."

~ John Hartzell

I might quibble with the word "accidentally" — I think Trump has known all along that he appeals particularly to that thick, rich vein of American stupid, and intends to do so. But the rest is right on target.

"Let me start with the the obvious and important piece here, and that's that he president of the United States is incapable of fulfilling his job. He is in serious mental trouble. He is deteriorating. ...

The bottom line is we don't know what he's going to do because he is completely unhinged. And this has never happened before in the United States of America."

"The '10-point proposal' wasn’t new. Iran had delivered it to Pakistani mediators on Monday, a day before Trump threatened genocidal war crimes. …

Nothing in the proposal actually changed between Monday and Tuesday night. Trump’s big announcement was to pretend the Iranians had come forward with something new when they hadn’t. In short, there was no statecraft, only stagecraft."
