    What’s your actual fucking goal?

    I’d wager that the part they aren’t saying out loud has to do with a few different things:

    1. Distraction from Epstein, which seems to be working. Iran operations now dominate the news cycle.

    2. War offers some economic gains, at least in the short term for a few big players.

    3. War fits into the “law and order” narrative Trump is desperately trying to milk, in a way that the DHS debacles have not done. Unprovoked attack on Iran even just as a show of force has been a conservative wet dream since at least the Bush Jr. days.

      \4. Zelensky told him that Ukraine has it in their Constitution that they don’t hold elections during times of war. He thinks this applies to the US Constitution.

      Each day this happens it looks like they’re trying to breed more terrorists too.

      They’ve now blown up a hospital apparently, on top of the elementary school.

      Things were relatively quiet since ISIS/Daesh got destroyed. This is just going to make the world worse.

        Daesh isn’t destroyed, it’s dormant. This will almost certainly cause a resurgence, they already killed two syrian soldiers in an attack today

          *the Orange is making the world a lot worse

          *the Orange is Americans are making the world a lot worse

          They have elected this monster and his regime twice

          They refuse any accountability for their reckless behaviour

          They refuse to hold any of their political class responsible

            Thanks for outing yourself as someone worth blocking.

            Be careful because Germany is allowing nazis/fascists to increase their power and you are taking zero responsibility. So be really careful how you want to bitch about the US before you have your own ass bitten by fascists. AGAIN.

              Did he say anything wrong? Also Germany is disgusting even without Nazis by enabling Israel.

      Honestly, as much as I hate the Epstein distraction narrative, it probably did play a role because Trump is petty like that. At the same time, this distraction is much more impactful than what it’s distracting from.

        yeah, I hate that “EVERYTHING IS A DISTRACTION!!!” now.

        It’s fucking NOT. I’m sure they ARE trying to do some things as distractions, but most of it is just simply evil.

          The annoying part is that the Epstein files would never turn many cultists. Most are fine with it or are willing to look past it. Many just reject that it exists.
