  1. I see Mr. Sanchez has not read The Art of The Deal.

    That’s basically Trump’s entire strategy.  Then again Sanchez isn’t missing much since Trump’s strategy usually fails.

    Trump threatened to wipe out the civilisation, told. them the exact time when he will start the attacks on Iran if it doesn’t accepts their terms and conditions.

    Iran didn’t blink and at the last moment Trump did a TACO and accepted Iran’s terms and conditions. The ceasefire is just a face saving for Trump.

    Can the rest of the EU please jump on this train. If the EU realized their power and potential this world would be on a good track. The EU should not be US’s vassal the EU can and should be its own superpower. The people within the EU need to understand that and dissolve borders.

  4. I know nothing about Spanish politics domestically or foreign. But in a world where countries are scared to take a moral stance against a superpower(mine included), this Sanchez chap does impress me.

  5. He’s like those firefighters who are also arsonists. They set fires and feel good when they put them out.

    Especially when the first 3 times they showed up with a bucket it was full of kerosene.

  7. I love this so much! No name calling, just a burn that won’t quit!

    Gracias, Sr Sanchez!

  8. When the arsonist returns, fakes surprise, then claims to be a hero that “helped” put out the fire when true professionals did the actual work. Stolen valor.

    The pattern here is Trump breaks something 100%, then puts back 80% and calls it a victory.

    Same thing with how he took a victory lap for recovering those pilots. Bitch, they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

  10. As I opened to this post…

    I just wanna say I’m in Spain and my friend in Iran finally got a connection, and called to say he and his family are a-okay. 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

    Some arsonists return to the fire they’ve just set (there are even cases of volunteer firefighters setting blazes) because they love the spectacle and knowing that they caused it. It’s exciting to them and they get off on it. Trump loves being the centre of attention,he doesn’t care if it’s good or bad. I suspect he actually prefers being the “villain”.
    What’s the old saying – the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral? Trump lives for it.
