Trump Delays Strike on Iran Until Midterms Are Over

Original version ·

Just in case anyone wondered how modern diplomacy works: Trump clarified that bombing Iran will have to wait until voters finish casting their ballots.

Domestic campaign calendars officially dictate military strikes now. Trump announced that the U.S. will not attack Iran before the midterm elections, effectively putting international warfare on a polite pause for voter turnout. Apparently, starting an overseas conflict right before people head to the polls is bad for political optics.

Meanwhile, back home in New York City, domestic law enforcement had its own chaos: an ICE agent shot a 28-year-old man directly in the neck. The man was rushed to the hospital, leaving local bystanders to process a federal shooting on city streets while the White House manages war plans around polling schedules.

World peace lasting exclusively until voting booths close is certainly a novel civic motivator.
