“A deal
…is an agreement or arrangement between parties, often involving a transaction or mutual advantage. It can also refer to the act of distributing something, such as cards in a game.”

“An agreement
…is a mutual understanding or arrangement between two or more parties about their rights and obligations, which can be formal or informal. It can be a simple consensus or a legally binding contract, depending on the context and elements involved.”

Good Tuesday morning beloved sentients. There’s a light rain falling on the Malahat this morning…just enough to nourish my tiny seedlings in their pots out in the yard.
GraZing the news headlines this morning, I see more Trumpanyahu’s debasement of the English language word “deal”. Trump has taken that word and stomped it into the swampy sewer that is Washington. I have posted definitions of the word “deal” and the word “agreement” above to distinguish between the word Trump trotted out to describe how he dominates and wins over any perceived opponent–and real negotiated settlements between two honest bargaining sides. The big difference between the two definitions is that in the word Agreement there is generally a list of rights and responsibilities included–not just an exchange of assets. It is this acceptance and follow through of rights and responsibilities which is anathema to Trumpanyahu and which he is totally incapable of.
Trump or as I more accurately frame him “Trumpanyahu” has proven over and over that he is “agreement incapable”. Years ago Putin discovered this about the Americans and has a special Russian word for it–which I don’t know obviously–but it translates roughly as “agreement non-capable”. Why is it that Americans are not capable of entering into an agreement? Well, that disability happened around the same time as JFK was assassinated by Israel and Israel took up occupation in the US White House and other government institutions and agencies…particularly the CIA.
That is the way it is, sadly for World Peace. As a case in point…please read the report below and subsequent links as to how USrael is actively sabotaging the deal they are simultaneously attempting to work out with Iran.

From Suliaman Ahmed’s X account earlier this morning:
JUST IN: IDF BEGINS GROUND INVASION BEYOND ITS SELF-DECLARED “YELLOW LINE” BUFFER ZONE IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
********
“Here’s the latest
• Iran warns US after strikes: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has a “legitimate” right to respond to any “violation” of the ceasefire after the US military carried out what it called “self-defense strikes” targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz.
• War negotiations: The US and Iran are working toward a memorandum of understanding, but disputes over language concerning Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions have held up a deal. President Donald Trump will hold a Cabinet meeting Wednesday at Camp David, a source told CNN.
• Web access: Internet activity in Iran has been partially restored following a monthslong blackout, according to watchdog NetBlocks, after Iran’s president yesterday ordered authorities to restore access.
• In Lebanon: The IDF says it conducted fresh strikes on Lebanon overnight in a further sign Israel is moving to a more aggressive posture in its campaign against the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.”

Stunning Details of Trump’s Proposal to China’s Xi Revealed | The New Republic
Greencrow comments: LOLololol Trump tried to inveigle Xi into caballing with Russia to get rid of the ICJ…the only court attempting to rein in the tyrannical violence going on around the world by USrael in this WWIII. Folks, let’s be honest. With wars being fought in Europe, the middle East and the wars Trump wants to fight in Cuba and Venezuela this is now a World War being fought by USrael/NATO against the rest of the entire world.

Iran, in contrast to USrael, is agreement capable, almost to a fault. Twice now it has been suckered in to meeting with USrael to negotiate and had its leadership taken out while such negotiations were going on. Hopefully, it will NOT be fooled again. I am very glad the new Iranian Ayatolah is keeping under the USraeli radar and so protected from their bloodthirst. See the report from the official State website of Iran, PressTV, below where Iran gives five simple and logical pre-requisites to Peace for USrael to either accept or reject:
The United States must take five necessary confidence-building steps before it can reach any agreement with Iran, a senior lawmaker said, emphasizing that there will be no deal without such measures.
Chairman of Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Ebrahim Azizi made the remarks in a televised interview, outlining the conditions under which Iran would proceed with negotiations.
During the second week of the US-Israeli aggression, the Americans requested a ceasefire and negotiations through Pakistani mediation, he explained.
He noted that the US had intended to conclude the war within three days but was forced to enter a ceasefire and negotiation process, which he said is proof of Iran’s “decisive victory” on the battlefield.
Iran’s approach toward the US is based on distrust, Azizi said, adding that five confidence-building measures must be undertaken by the Americans to proceed.
He said these measures include:
- an end to the war on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon, with guarantees that the war will not be repeated;
- the lifting of the naval blockade;
- acceptance of Iranian arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz;
- the suspension of oil sanctions;
- nd the release of Iran’s blocked assets.
“If these five confidence-building measures are carried out, we will enter a 30-day and 60-day timeframe, followed by discussions on the details of sanctions and the remaining issues;
Otherwise, this agreement will not happen,” he noted.
His remarks come as indirect talks between Iran and the US, mediated by Pakistan, continue based on the Islamic Republic’s 14-point proposal to reach a memorandum to end the war.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters on Monday that the indirect talks with the United States are centered on ending aggression on all fronts and that the nuclear issue or the management of the Strait of Hormuz are not to be discussed.

Greencrow concludes: Iran has been bargaining in good faith even though egregious war crimes have been committed against them–like the illegal attack of February 28, 2026 which murdered their leaders and 168 school girls–presumably as sacrifices to the USraeli Satanic god.
OTOH, USrael under Trumpanyahu has NOT been bargaining in good faith–ludicrously wanting to fight an illegal and immoral war of attrition against Iran/continue their greed and bloodlust based war on Lebanon. They continue warring and bargaining in bad faith for “peace” all at the same time–so that they can maintain their false face of legitimacy on the world stage and host the FIFA cup.
Trump has taken the word “deal” and stomped it into the sewage grounds of the Washington swamp.
Sentient humanity should take Trumpanyahu’s word “deal” and flush it down the toilet where it belongs. Use only the words Agreement and Negotiated settlement to describe any hoped for future peace.
Stay tuned.
