Folks, CALM DOWN, this is still in the workshopping phase ok? First we bomb them, then we workshop WHY we bombed them, do you not understand the plan!?
Democrats, predictably, were apoplectic. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians,” said Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, who had received classified briefings from Rubio. “There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.”
Meanwhile somewhere below decks on the Titanic 11:45 PM (ship’s time) on April 14, 1912
Well, if we were to equate the threat of icebergs to an imminent threat to our ship, then we would be in uncharted territory! - a well dressed crew member with an officer’s hat calmly explains to a passenger.
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.
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.”
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.

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.
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
Wasn’t it because he is anointed by Jesus to be the herald of his second cumming?
of course there’s something in it which brings in money to the Government. The orange poostainlicker cannot do anything else.
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.
It’s unfortunately not illegal, but he only has 60 days.
Ugh. Got ya.
Here’s the wiki page about the War Powers Resolution of you’d like to learn more.
In my opinion what defines a war at the heart of it is that a war is a series of events that do no entangle themselves in abstracted arguments about definitions but rather form together, organically or artificially, into a violent reality abstracted from meaning.
Well they could just tell the truth and admit it was to distract from the Epstein files.
“Operation Epstein Distraction”
Project: Epstein Distraction Operation
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.
It’s actually perfectly in line with Israeli war doctrine. One of the Arab wars was a preemptive strike against 4 adversaries.
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.
they wouldn’t see consequences for the epstein stuff at all anyway
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?
Have the war you voted for, MAGAs.
unfortunately, we’re all on this sinking ship.
I can’t be too smug about recent events.
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.
