Israel claimed they had a cease fire with Hezbollah. However, they are still bombing each other every day. I guess it is new speak?

each side can accuse the other of violating the ceasefire.

Trump knows his war is illegal and ran out of legal cover many days ago. So by insisting that a war is not a war (just like an election loss is not a loss or rape is not rape or racism is not real) he pretends to be doing nothing wrong. Its his whole worthless fucking life in a nutshell. I hope he is dying right now...choking to death or just having his 3 sizes too small heart imploding.
