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.
The reason is, and I'll bet a lot of money on this: an LLM told them to.
Not quite. Israel told them to.
You're both wrong.
It's because it's a distraction from Epstein. You're not talking about how trump rapes children. If we go to war, that becomes the focus. No longer putting pressure on trump over how trump rapes children. See, I have to keep typing trump rapes children, because society seems to have the memory of a goldfish, and have forgotten that trump rapes children.
Now, view every action he's done since taking office, and underatand understand that EVERYTHING is a distraction from trump raping children.
Now don't forget this time, ok?
It’s because it’s a distraction from Epstein. You’re not talking about how trump rapes children.
I believe we're now talking about how he murders children
I believe we're now talking about how he murders children
Unfortunately, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_airstrike
I get the sentiment, but war is worse than obvious pedophiles trying and failing to hide their crimes
It's also very possible that the war is a roudabout consequence of the child rape, assuming Epstein was a Mossad honeypot and Israel really really wants the US to be blowing up Iran right now.
None of you are wrong, this is multiple levels of stupid. The dictator wants a war so he can cancel elections, the other even more genocidal dictator wants more genocide so they cook up a plan. These morons shop it to the white supremacist running the department of WAR, and he gets a raging jesus boner at the idea. So they all sit down and ask mecha-hitler for a plan..
That’s where we are.
"Actually, Israelis"
Not really that different
Israel told them to do it via the medium of an LLM
But nothing extraordinary has happened. Just the US started war in the middle east. Happens every 10 or so years
Bush spent months trying to convince the world that invading Iraq was justified.
Trump didn't even do that.
They bombed Iran to get people to forget that Trump and his circle are mass-scale slavers, child rapists, and traitorous foreign agents.
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.
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?
Does it change anything if it's a good excuse?
What I have learned from US superhero movies is that what is important is doing your best and believing in your country no matter what!
There was an article saying it was for religious reasons, military people calling in to a hotline they have to say they were told orders were sanctioned by god or something similar.
I'm not religious (do know a fair but of what pre high school kids tends to learn) but according to the old testament the Christian God(well all same God for participants technically unless I'm misunderstanding my theology) doesn't need help if he wants to wipe out people.
Imagine saying you're on a holy war because Trump says so? That sounds wild even for some of the out there comedies.
Its possible for different people in the same administration to have different motives to do something they both want to do.
I doubt trump is religious at all in any way shape or form. The others though...
I don't doubt that the actual people pulling the strings (I'll say 2025 unsure if it was religious sided but think it was) are quite religious. Trump as usual is the greedy idiot they make this the fault of, mean why would the US elect someone who wasn't really proper leader in charge? So he gets the blame, he's at his end run out his usefulness anyways but enough moves have been made they can't go back now so just push forward.
The rapture dudes are all probably in ecstasy at the moment when in reality it'll leave the world in a worse situation.
Wait typing this thing out made me realize the fault of people is not understanding when we're wrong least the higher ups. So many of us can't stand saying we're wrong. I'd rock to tell the US it's okay to be wrong, take your licks and come play with us again. But they're too ornary.
Personally I hate being wrong it's a knife to the gut. But you know what? That's how I learn to improve. I learn not to be wrong in the future from those actions. Too bad the US is run by someone who can't learn a lesson we teach toddlers.
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
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.
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.
Well they could just tell the truth and admit it was to distract from the Epstein files.
"Operation Epstein Distraction"
Apparently Israel runs the world now and we are their lapdog. That’s why.
Because Epstein was a mossad agent.
america is now a vassal state of the israelis. america gives billions to israel. israelis get free education and healthcare. american taxpayers get cancelled healthcare, cancelled foodstamps, cancelled safety nets. why did you vote for this? i really dont get it.
“What a beautiful White House! Look at those drapes! And have you seen the DOW?” the guy is senile and his sycophants don’t want to upset him.
Wasn't it because he is anointed by Jesus to be the herald of his second cumming?
Probably quid pro quo with the saudis for more oil dominance
UHh.. The kinda have.
They said Israel made them do 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.
Unsanctioned military operation. Not war. Illegal command from a compromised POTUS doing the work of his master.
