Trump says "just sit back and relax"
Donald Trump is in a very relaxed mood and wants all Americans to stop worrying about the war against Iran. In a Truth Social post he advised everyone "just sit back and relax". It's difficult for most families to do that because the war has caused the cost of living to rocket upwards and most of them can't afford to fill up their cars with petrol (gas, for the Americans). But what Trump I guess is trying to do is calm the waters as the negotiations continue to end the war although there is little sign a deal is coming any day soon. In fact, the longer it all goes on, the more tetchy both side become and, sure enough, they start firing at each other. This is the way with ceasefires. Look what's happening in southern Lebanon where there is supposed to be a ceasefire and also in Gaza where another ceasefire is supposed to be running. With Iran, it's all called self-defense attacks. The US thinks Iran is about to loose off a missile or drone and slams a few bombs into the launch sites. Then the Islamic Rebolutionary Guard Corps fires off a missile and drone towards US bases in Kuwait by way of retaliation. This has happened two or three times since the ceasefire. And I have no doubt there will be more such incidents until a peace deal is signed. Will it actually ever happen? Right now, it seems unlikely. But Trump says sit and relax, so maybe he is convinced there will be a settlement.
