    That and his old Epstein co-conspirator Netanyahu got his cronies to whisper sweet nothings into his ear about how it would be easy and he would be a hero.

    He didn’t come up with any of this himself. That’s why there is no plan. The whole plan was supposed to be:

    Cut the head off the snake -> build golf courses.

        It depends. Venezuela was down right evil, but actually a well thought out plan. Kidnapping Maduro ended up turning the government into basically a US puppet, without needing a full scale ground invasion. So there are very clearly smart capable planners in high positions in the US.

        The Iran war seems like a full Israeli plan, which was bullied through last minute. They seem to have ignored or forgotten, that Iran can close the Strait of Hormuz. They are currently moving four anti seamine ships from the Strait to the US for scrapping for example and did not warn anybody that this is a big one, so they can for example fill up their strategic oil reserves. The only reason this is not a worse disaster is that the US military is very capable.

    They named it Operation Epic Fury, which sounds weird as fuck until you look at the initials. They’re so fucking stupid.

        Nothing could convince me that that’s not the reason they named it that. It’s such a stupid name, and they have no shame.

    Most Earthlings believe Trump launched Iran war to cover up Epstein scandal. I’m just back from an extended holiday in India, Malaysia and Thailand. Even in the remote villages, this is a topic of consideration.

    Most americans are probably correct about the Iran war covering-up for the trump-epstein files discoveries that the american president, and a host of other international powerful men, are organized pedophiles. America/Israel are at the top of both the Iran war and the trump-epstein files scandal. A global cabal. Charge them under RICO to begin with.

    I believe. To quote a dead asshole: prove me wrong, prove me wrong.

    And in this situation, I don’t even think I originally had the burden of proof, so this isn’t even a logically fallacious argument. The bombing has definitely deemphasized Epstein in the headlines.

    (my bold)

    A majority of likely American voters believe that Donald Trump launched the war on Iran at least in part to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that had engulfed his presidency, according to a new survey.
