Of the analysis I've listened to over the past days about the war in Iran, I never heard the pundits and journalists mention Epstein.
Its kinda why they did it. This sort of tactic has in the past worked for Trump when he needed to change the news cycle away from something damaging to him. It definitely works to derail mainstream coverage of corporate news.
Going to be a long ass war then. The moment this wraps up we will be right back to Epstein.
I mean we were in afghanistan for 20 years. We're still in Iraq. Idk I forsee this being the first 100 years war.
I've heard they are purchasing a big spinning wheel and suggestions are now being collected to place on the wheel board. Trump will give it a final spin later today and whatever it falls on his cronies will align with.
This is easy one: Trump went to war to get the fact he's child rapist off the front page.
This evil man is just fine murdering Americans to divert attention from his crimes.
Bibi has the kompromat.
If Bibi has a problem, Trump has a problem.
The reason is, and I'll bet a lot of money on this: an LLM told them to.
Not quite. Israel told them to.
You're both wrong.
It's because it's a distraction from Epstein. You're not talking about how trump rapes children. If we go to war, that becomes the focus. No longer putting pressure on trump over how trump rapes children. See, I have to keep typing trump rapes children, because society seems to have the memory of a goldfish, and have forgotten that trump rapes children.
Now, view every action he's done since taking office, and underatand understand that EVERYTHING is a distraction from trump raping children.
Now don't forget this time, ok?
It’s because it’s a distraction from Epstein. You’re not talking about how trump rapes children.
I believe we're now talking about how he murders children
I believe we're now talking about how he murders children
Unfortunately, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_airstrike
Does he murder the children before or after he rapes them?
It's both, isn't it
None of you are wrong, this is multiple levels of stupid. The dictator wants a war so he can cancel elections, the other even more genocidal dictator wants more genocide so they cook up a plan. These morons shop it to the white supremacist running the department of WAR, and he gets a raging jesus boner at the idea. So they all sit down and ask mecha-hitler for a plan..
That’s where we are.
I get the sentiment, but war is worse than obvious pedophiles trying and failing to hide their crimes
"Actually, Israelis"
You actually blew my mind here. It never occurred to me that they might actually use ChatGPT to run the country. I was thinking unmanned drones, data combing/surveillance.
🤯🤯
But nothing extraordinary has happened. Just the US started war in the middle east. Happens every 10 or so years
Bush spent months trying to convince the world that invading Iraq was justified.
Trump didn't even do that.
The Trump War Evading Epstein (TWEE) with no way of telling if we're "winning" or "losing." I'm pretty sure we're losing if we're blowing up elementary schools.
If you state reasons for doing something that gives everyone a thing to look at to see if you are succeeding or failing.
Trump is, above all else, a master in marketing. He has complete confidence that, through marketing skills, he will be able to take credit for anything good that comes, and all failures can be either ignored or blamed on someone else.
But stating reasons up front makes it harder to do this.
also gives them a totally arbitrary goal so they can keep going or withdraw whenever. we don't know if this will be 6 days, 6 weeks, or 6 months because there are no clear objectives to accomplish
Why not open source this work to the gig economy? They should have some sort of contrivance contest for whoever can construct the most realistic bullshit excuse for why the US went to war. Winner gets paid for a day and a bag of onions.
The causus belli is probably somewhere in the Epstein files, let's all check them thoroughly!
The thing is if these bombings are supposed to be distracting everyone from the tRUMP-Epstein files then why is it called Operation Epstein War?
They are trying to cause an attack on American soil.
Why? Trump has been very clear about his unhinged plan to use martial law as an excuse to scuttle the midterms. The domestic strategies have repeatedly failed, so now he’s going for a 9/11 10/7 gambit.
Americans, you need to take out your political trash now or get out of the country. Gilead is coming.
They bombed Iran to get people to forget that Trump and his circle are mass-scale slavers, child rapists, and traitorous foreign agents.
Well they could just tell the truth and admit it was to distract from the Epstein files.
"Operation Epstein Distraction"
Project: Epstein Distraction Operation
Well, there's the standard authoriarian reason: "Because Dear Leader felt like it."
In this case, it's the only reason, with the reason behind the reason being "Because MBS and Netanyahu wanted it."
They gave a reason, it's just stupid.
Rubio said it was a preemptive strike to preempt their strike after the Israeli preemptive strike.
Kinda WW1 logic.
Further proof trump and the republicans haven’t had an original thought in decades.
Wasn't it because he is anointed by Jesus to be the herald of his second cumming?
Unsanctioned military operation. Not war. Illegal command from a compromised POTUS doing the work of his master.
That just seems like semantics. It seems pretty fair to call country A bombing the shit out of country B and killing its leader an act of war.
I think a lot of my fellow Americans find it easy to not think of as a "war" because they see no risk of Iran attacking the continental US. They'll just send their thoughts and prayers to whoever deployed over there catches the bullets.
of course there's something in it which brings in money to the Government. The orange poostainlicker cannot do anything else.
There was an article saying it was for religious reasons, military people calling in to a hotline they have to say they were told orders were sanctioned by god or something similar.
I'm not religious (do know a fair but of what pre high school kids tends to learn) but according to the old testament the Christian God(well all same God for participants technically unless I'm misunderstanding my theology) doesn't need help if he wants to wipe out people.
Imagine saying you're on a holy war because Trump says so? That sounds wild even for some of the out there comedies.
Its possible for different people in the same administration to have different motives to do something they both want to do.
I doubt trump is religious at all in any way shape or form. The others though...
america is now a vassal state of the israelis. america gives billions to israel. israelis get free education and healthcare. american taxpayers get cancelled healthcare, cancelled foodstamps, cancelled safety nets. why did you vote for this? i really dont get it.
Apparently Israel runs the world now and we are their lapdog. That’s why.
