I don't deny anything.
It is not beyond clear to me. It feels like a huge oversimplified explanation of the causes of what could be a huge conflict. The war was started by both the US and Israel, not by Donald Trump alone.
Did Trump get into this war just to take attention off the Epstein files? It is possible, but I doubt it is the main reason.
I was wrong to reply here. Because given that you wrote that, you give trump more credit than a person who can be conversed with would. 👋
To talk with someone you need them to be convinced Trump is stupid? We are talking about the president of the United States, no matter how stupid he may be I'm sure he's got plenty of advisors. The military had to have a plan for this.
They've literally admitted they didn't plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, what the fuck are you blathering about
What do you mean? The US military had to make plans for an attack. An attack of this scale is not organised one day to the other.
They probably did not, so what? Does that take away that they planned the attack? Does that take away that Trump was likely advised on the matter? Does that imply that the only reason why the US attacked Iran is to take away attention from the Epstein files?
Your statement implies that trump has ever had a non-self-interested reason for doing anything. Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with. It seems like you've been asleep for 10 years.
Yes.
I'm afraid you're living in a bubble. This is not a good stance when talking with people. If you know better than I do, you can explain.
Saying that Trump never did anything but for his own interest is an oversimplification which I could only attribute to the strong polarization of opinions in the US. However, I don't know much about this and I may be wrong on whether it comes from polarization or some other cause.
He was after all elected twice as president, some people even tried to topple the government when he lost the elections. He clearly did something those people liked.
I won't participate in this farce anymore, but I will be assuming anything you say from now on is from the standpoint of helping trump propaganda wise
I'm afraid you are misunderstanding: I have no sympathy for Trump.
Open your mind, around the world there's a bit more than just republicans and democrats.
I'm afraid you're misunderstanding. You've discredited yourself to me and nothing can change that now
