Topic 2084
Trump is declaring the Iran ceasefire deal done and a signing ceremony imminent, but the gap between what Axios is reporting and what Iranian media says is in the Islamabad Agreement is enormous, raising the question of whether this is a genuine breakthrough or another round of negotiation theater. Alex Christoforou breaks it all down on The Duran alongside Zelensky's staggering new $20 billion NATO ask on top of the 160 billion already committed, Germany's military chief warning the country must be ready to fight Russia by 2029, and the E3 ambassadors showing up at Russia's Foreign Ministry only to be told by the deputy foreign minister that Europe is a direct party to the conflict. Is the collective west finally running out of road, or will the blank checks keep coming?
