Writes President Trump, on Truth Social.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
AND: Here's Marco Rubio at the State Department website: "Over the past 48 hours, Vice President Vance and I have engaged with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, including Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shehbaz Sharif, External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, and National Security Advisors Ajit Doval and Asim Malik. I am pleased to announce the Governments of India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire and to start talks on a broad set of issues at a neutral site. We commend Prime Ministers Modi and Sharif on their wisdom, prudence, and statesmanship in choosing the path of peace."

Wars should be safe and rare choices.
Sooo many jobs lost. Great going Trumpsters. We could have been selling bullets out the ying yang and killing two birds with one stone.
So the US is a neo-colonial power depriving these two South Asian nations of their self-determination.
I have it on good authority from dozens of leading Democrats that this man is a bloodthirsty menace who is going to start World War III.
Two birds, two "burden" are aborted, but the third bird picks st your flesh forever more. Will no one rid me of this life unworthy, they brayed.
Marko Rubio wasn’t that impressive as a candidate for President those many years ago. So I was surprised to see Trump pick him for Sec. of State. Turned out to be one of Trump’s best appointments. Congrats to Rubio and the rest of the Trump team.
My hero!
MAGATs meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations again. Fortunately, Judge Boasberg just issued an emergency injunction prohibiting the Trump administration from declaring peace in foreign countries, without Congressional approval.
While on the surface this seems like a good thing. But you can be sure Trump did something wrong. Because.....Orange man bad.
Good news. Let's hope it stands.
Military analysts are pouring over data on the air engagement that took place. Apparently, the aircraft stayed on their respective sides of the border and used long range missiles to hit their opponents.
This is one of the reasons I voted for Trump.
Interesting that Rubio made sure to include Vance in the credit. That's how you lay the 2028 pipe.
Time for Obama to get another Nobel Peace Prize.
CNN lede: US Vice President JD Vance, who just days ago claimed the conflict between India and Pakistan was “none of our business", has also shared President Donald Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire...
Full Vance quote: “What we can do is try to encourage these folks to deescalate a little bit, but we’re not going to get involved in the middle of war that’s fundamentally none of our business and has nothing to do with America’s ability to control it... You know, America can’t tell the Indians to lay down their arms. We can’t tell the Pakistanis to lay down their arms. And so, we’re going to continue to pursue this thing through diplomatic channels...”
And on top of every other blunder, racist Vance called them "Indians," when the acceptable term is "First Nations People."
Eva Marie (9:42am):
"Turned out to be one of Trump’s best appointments."
I'd say Rubio turned out to be four of Trump's best appointments.
That air battle has enough for the cons to review for awhile. Let’s see if the ceasefire holds.
Looks like another Nobel Peace Prize coming for a US President (Joe Biden, i mean)

Your Canadianness is showing. I bet you spell color with a "u", too.
Peace negotiations are so easy for the Hillbilly and Little Marco! One joint phone call on the subject and the Indians and Pakistanis pulled the firing pins out of their nukes.
How soon we forget that U. S. Grant gave up the presidency back in 1876 and offered no comments when Custer's Last Stand quit selling ice cream in Montana territory during the Battle of the Greasy Grass along the Little Big Horn.
If only Donny 2 Dolls could get his buddy Vlad to quit bombing Kiev.
To be perfectly inclusive, Indians are People of Blacker than Black, Browner than Brown, and Light Skin. I think that Albinos (i.e. People of Integrated Rainbow) are a minority.
Poor Gadfly.
After Trump ends the Russia-Ukraine war (and he will), how does he NOT win the Nobel Peace Prize?
If it wasn't for all those paragraphs and the dearth of ALL CAPS, I'd swear I just read a post by STINKY.
That's one less ethnic Spring. Summer arrives early, Trumpeted by a viable choice.
I'm not all surprised that Marco is a great Sec. of State. I saw him twice on the stump in Iowa. The second speech covered a recent foreign policy incident. I could see how passionate and knowledgeable he was about foreign affairs.
a recent foreign policy incident
Skipping the May Day parade? Yeah, that's kind of a big slight of diplomatic inanity.
Pakistan had to fold, they gave practically all of their weapons to Ukraine to kill Russians for us. That was after the Biden Administration ordered the country to arrest and imprison their democratically elected leader, who was the most popular politician in Pakistan, you know, to fight against despotism.
You know where else the Biden Administration was "fighting despotism"? In Bangladesh, where we backed a coup because the democratically elected leader there didn't want to hand over a strategic island in the Bay of Bengal that we feel like we need for our navy.
Meanwhile, Germany is planning to ban the most popular political party, this by Fred BlackRock Mertz, who didn't even become chancellor on the first ballot, France has arrested its most popular opposition leader, and Macron can't even get a budget passed through the National Assembly, and so passed his budget by diktat, you know, to fight "despotism." I could go on about how Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, etc, all subverted their normal democratic procedures to fight "despotism" and to "protect democracy" over who gets to rule over a significant population of ethnic Russians within the borders of the old USSR.

How ‘bout we strike while the iron is hot and see if we can get either Pakistan or India to accept Rastafarian Baraka, LaShamu McIver, Bonnie Watson Coleman and Menendez Jr. as legal immigrants. Don’t let a crisis go to waste.
So they used "Great Intelligence"? GI?
They didn't just ask Grok?
Democrats want to wage war (and garner the resultant graft), Trump wants to end wars (and deny Democrats their graft).
You live long enough and you see some remarkable shifts in American politics. None more remarkable than watching the Class of ‘68 become authoritarian, goose-stepping, anti-Semitic, statist war pigs.
Gives India a chance to buy some F-35s
India contradicts US claims: Ceasefire declaration leaves questions unanswered ~ The South First
India contradicts Rubio, saying the cease-fire was worked out directly between India and Pakistan, and that there had been no decision to hold talks on any other issue at any location.
Although Trump made the announcement, let’s be honest—his role in the truce was slim to none. U.S. credibility has fallen so low that the flare-up likely occurred because of that power vacuum.
Giving Trump credit here is like praising the bell ringer for putting out the fire—or the guy blowing the “all clear” whistle after the danger has passed. The territorial dispute continues, and it will flare up again.
Note that it’s easier to broker a cease fire when the President hasn’t already told one side that a little incursion is okay. Just sayin’
You would expect that talking people out of killing each other and getting killed in return would be easier than talking them into it, but no. Surprisingly we rarely need to be talked into it at all.
When it all falls apart for these states who have hated each other since their founding, having Trump spike the football now in victory reminds me of Charlie Sheen and #winning.
My heart leapt when I thought that was all the president's dignified tweet and that he was able to successfully type out "Subrahmanyam Jaishankar" without any mistakes. That was not to be. But still, this is a great achievement for the administration. Back to Ukraine and Gaza now.
Okay… who hit teh ‘fly with the Raid?
I LOVE that "Thank you for your attention to this matter" at the end.
Rubio gave a speech recently and in this video at about 55 seconds he starts channeling Trump with his Surgeon General joke.
If Little Marco keeps this up Trump will need to change his nickname to Big Marco.
He could borrow a pair of Ron's boots to help him fit the name.
India claims Pakistan has resumed shelling in Kashmir, just hours after everyone congratulated themselves on solving this issue.
What a legendary deal by Trump! Hours of no shelling. Thats going in the history books for sure.
⬆️ Of course the Trump administration had to claim credit for the ceasefire, and condescend to India and Pakistan as if they were squabbling children. Distaste for Trump and his grandstanding may be a significant point of agreement unifying India and Pakistan.
Typical Trump: take credit for anything good happening even if he has nothing to do with it, and blame others for anything bad happening.
The situation reminds of me of Trump claiming the last two months that he was already negotiating tariffs with China, when, in fact, no talks were happening, and are only beginning to happen now.
Welcome to a world where some conflicts are irreconcilable. Sometimes the best that can be done is to achieve a temporary peace, and even that can take some time and some initial failures and backtracking. Welcome to a world to a world where rogue commanders are trigger-happy and hard to control, and a world where people are always arguing over things of value to them, and no one can be trusted entirely.
The Muslims and the Hindus have only been fighting each other for 1400 years. Perhaps they can cool off, now.
‘fly, kaKAW, mark, etc… what in the world are they even talking about!?!?
Their tribe of malevolent, moronic malcontents elected and then provided cover to an administration that allowed 20,000,000,000 unvetted illegal immigrants to pour across our - at that time and under their orders - open, unguarded border. And they did this knowing full well it would ruin the public school system, healthcare and hospitals, welfare system for OUR needy and expecting our hardworking taxpayers to foot the bill.
And THEY can f*ck right off, the miserable clowns.
Trump also promised to end the Russia/Ukraine within 24 hours, so we shall see.
It's the thought that counts.
Trump also promised to end the Russia/Ukraine within 24 hours, so we shall see.
Keep hope alive, Mr. Conservative. There's always a chance they'll blow each other up and you can prance around blaming Trump for not stopping it.
Dat ain’t prancin’, Jim at, dat’s what they call mincing.
Any minute now: "You know who else negotiated a peace deal?"
Trump's greatest accomplishment domestically wasn't the peace or the prosperity although we really appreciate that.
Trump's greatest accomplishment has been to cause the deranged and evil among us to take off their masks and show everyone who they really are.
The situation reminds of me of Trump claiming the last two months that he was already negotiating tariffs with China, when, in fact, no talks were happening, and are only beginning to happen now.
I may be mistaken, but I don't recall Trump's saying that tariffs were being negotiated with China - just that we were talking with China. To my mind, this is a meaningful distinction: wasn't it Churchill who said the thing about not the end, not the beginning of the end, but perhaps the end of the beginning? If the goal is to revamp our trade relationship with China (which I believe we do), perhaps the initial talks wouldn't be about the tariff percentages or barriers to imports or lack of barriers to exports, but just "We need to talk." "No!" "We NEED to talk - your economy is crumbling." "We don't want to talk about this!" "You need to talk about this"?
And now, as "meaningful" talks begin, the groundwork has been laid by the previous diplomatic pressure.
The insistence of some, in our time largely on the left because of Trump (ISTM), that the first negotiation must be the successful one reminds me of the "unified field theory" approach of academics et al. to social ills: if you can't solve the whole hydra of a problem at one go, you shouldn't even start.
By all means, let nuclear powers duke it out without even trying to get them to the table. Better that than participate in negotiating a ceasefire that might not hold forever - there is after all face to be saved.
Reading all of the above written by a bunch Biden voters who couldn't negotiate a mortgage payment.
