Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Lack of clear plan? It's clear..US attack. Iran Defends. US is the one without much more of a plan than to distract from the EpstinenFiles.
In this case, its more than just a distraction from the Epstein files. Trump was captivated with the idea that Ukraine had to suspend elections while engaged in war. He is going to try and pull that same shit here, just watch.
Same thing with Israel, they are declaring another war so they don't have to leave if/when they lose this year's elections. (If that happen at all)
One third of Americans don't care if elections are suspended and want to see it all burn.
Calling them accelerationists is giving them too much credit.
They don't want to see it burn, they just want to feel like their "team" won. Whether it burns and hurts them doesn't matter as long as they think it hurts the "woke libs" more.
People who lack empathy simply can't understand that lifting others up will pay back in kind and lift themselves up, too. It's all a zero sum game to these pricks.
