Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?
That was this week.
My partner and I can’t even remember why he bombed Iran. Anyone able to remind us?
I’ve heard the phrase “largest state sponsor of terrorism” thrown around, but honestly I feel like it wasn’t even mentioned until well after everything had started and it wasn’t an immediate success like they must’ve thought it would be. No idea if it’s true at all. And there’s always “we gotta stop them from getting nukes”.
Basically it’s whatever they can think of in the moment in the rare instance they get questioned about it. They’ve also said all goals have been met since like, at least a week ago, so now I guess it’s just for the love of the game.
I don’t think he ever gave a solid reason for it. At first it was something about them refining radioactive material, then it was about the apocalypse, then I stopped paying attention to the flimsy excuses.
it was mostly because Netanyahu talked him into it, and also because it makes a great distraction from domestic problems at home, and also because it makes the stock market go up and down and trump’s family can make lots of money through insider trading that way …
Supposedly he thought it would increase his dismal polling numbers, as military action tended to do so for previous presidents.
Also, to distract from the Epstein files and several other things people are actively upset about.
And to set up the terrorist false flag needed to cancel the midterms.
