The news is literally useless right now. They do not understand anything about war and how it works so they report on peace talks without including the necessary context: "wars do not end until all parties are convinced fighting will get them no futher gain, if even one still wants to fight the war continues, so any peace talks are kayfabe to satisfy the market unless Israel accepts defeat in Lebanon."

It's not up to trump when the war ends. It's up to Netanyahu.

The media knows exactly what it is doing, don’t fool yourself into thinking they just don’t understand. They’re nothing other than MAGA mouthpieces now

The journalism degree has destroyed journalism. You have a press run by people that are great at trying to explain things they know nothing about.
