Chambanasfinest on May 26, 2026 12:32 am Any offensive action can be “self-defense” if you try hard enough. Presumably someone who really, really doesn’t want a ceasefire got to the president over the weekend.
Pavlovsdong89 on May 26, 2026 12:32 am We need to rename the Department of War to the Department of Self Defense.
MrRawri on May 26, 2026 12:34 am Can’t say I’m surprised, both sides can’t seem to agree on anything. And calling it self-defense is laughable
