In 25 years America went from “This isn’t about oil. This is about freedom and democracy!” to “This isn’t about oil, it’s not about anything at all. Stop asking questions any why we are murdering innocent people!”
Because we’re still at the point where saying “This is about the Epstein files. We raped kids and don’t want you to talk about it so we kill brown people” is unacceptable. I’d say give it a couple months.
The “What about the Epstein Files” is the best political attack we have. It’s so great.
Their playbook has always been to prioritize stupid political mud fights to distract the press and progressives online from all the evil Nazi shit they are doing. And that playbook works wonderfully well for them. They can come out and say any word thing like “In ear headphones are woke and make you trans so we are banning all federal employees from wearing them,” and liberals and the press eat it up. Meanwhile ICE is building literal concentration camps, but it’s the headphones things that makes the headlines because it’s stupid. Even, and especially, the popular progressive comedians are complicit in this. They don’t want to talk about the mad murders, those aren’t funny. But trans headphones? We can make lots of jokes about that! Their playbook clearly works.
Except for the Epstein files. The Epstein is a great easy to turn their playbook against them. In this case the mud fight matters. It’s not stupid, and they don’t have a play to distract from it, because it’s the mud that drives the news. And because it’s sex, comedians love it! The headline writers love it. And Trump can’t make it just go away.
So keep repeating the line: What about the Epstein Files?
What are you talking about, people are saying it constantly. But it’s not really true. We’ve been attacking Iran specifically and oil rich countries in general for a long time as well as being a lapdog for Israel. No need to blame the Epstein files, this is just who we are.
I’m going to assume the obvious and say this attack is about Iran’s partnership with Russia, China and North Korea and their contribution to the invasion of Ukraine and pending invasion of Taiwan.
That’s generous of you. The only reason why I don’t believe that is because the administration hasn’t said that is the reason. If the administration had said that they would have likely actually built up some moral support from Congress and the international community.
But he didn’t do that.
I think the easier explanation is that Hegseth wants a war for his ego so that he can feel like a big man. (Trump didn’t actually care and will sign off on anything at this point.)
Considering other members of NATO are getting involved militarily and supporting the strike on Iran. It seems much more likely they know something the public doesn’t know.
It seems extremely unlikely that Hegseth can just start a war for his ego. And that wouldn’t explain the involvement of the rest of NATO.
Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if Hegseth is that type of person but I don’t think he has the power to cause this alone.
But again, if cutting off Iran’s support for Russia was the goal, why not just say that?
Intelligence agencies often don’t share what they know with the public. One of many reasons for doing that is it would expose the spies and methods of gathering intel.
How does the US getting bogged down in Iran while sending military aid to Ukraine prevent China from invading Taiwan? The US is ramping up its military presence everywhere, which means that it will be stretched too thin to aid Taiwan.
US has Israel to fight Iran, Ukraine to fight Russia and Taiwan to fight China, and South Korea to fight North Korea. US manufactures military supplies, how would they be bogged down?
The USA as an imperialist enemy to imperialist Russia and China naturally has that as one of the goal but the idea that the USA is doing that for Ukraine is idiotic.
Ukraine and it’s ally made themselves the enemy of Iran forcing Iran into Russia arms. They couldn’t forgive Iran for getting rid of the west marionette the Shah. During Mossadegh , Iran was a neutral country. In 2007 Iran did not supply weapons yet Ukraine joined the sanctions against Iran for it’s civilian nuclear program. There is one thing in common between Russia and Ukraine they both lick Israel boots
I didn’t say US was “doing it for Ukraine”. The US is like any other country, it is a large group of people and each individual has their own motivations. In this case the US is probably helping Ukraine for the same reason Iran is helping Russia. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Iran is doing it because they have no choice. like I said Europe and NATO could have made a deal with Iran so they don’t have to support Russia with weapons . The usa is helping Ukraine to make money
As much as I detest what Russia does with the weapons Iran has sold it, Iran didn’t really have a choice. They were backed into a corner and out of options. Lucky Russia.
No, they didn’t. Ukraine had the choice to not allow ukranians to become settlers in the west bank , ukraine had the choice to not sanctions Iran for their the civilian nuclear program. Despite that I do not support russian invasion of Ukraine and want europe to have a deal with Iran so it stop helping Russia. You are a terrible person who support the usa and israel who are genociding palestinians , killed 150 little girls in Iran in the first day.

It seems extremely unlikely that Hegseth can just start a war for his ego. And that wouldn’t explain the involvement of the rest of NATO.
I think it’s 100% likely that Hegseth is absolutely the kind of person that would start a war for his ego and retweets.
But again, if cutting off Iran’s support for Russia was the goal, why not just say that?

It is about the usa and israel prespective imperialist interests
It’s definitely about Russia, North Korea and China’s imperialist interest. Iran has been supplying weapons for the genocide in Ukraine
How does the US getting bogged down in Iran while sending military aid to Ukraine prevent China from invading Taiwan? The US is ramping up its military presence everywhere, which means that it will be stretched too thin to aid Taiwan.

Iran always has a choice. They aren’t being forced to fund genocide. And if they do then they should be held responsible for their actions.
As much as I detest what Russia does with the weapons Iran has sold it, Iran didn’t really have a choice. They were backed into a corner and out of options. Lucky Russia.

Yeah, that is an answer that he COULD have given to that question, but he didn’t.
