“President Trump said new potential leadership in Iran has indicated they want to talk and eventually he will talk. For now, Operation ~~Epic~~ Epstein Fury continues unabated,” the official said.
Collapse little donnie's whole family empire and we would all be better off.
I'm interested in affordability, which was the primary thing the rapist Donald Trump and his pedophile party ran on.
How does going to war in the middle east, again, address affordability?
Well, they are addressing affordability. It just won't go the way you want it to go.
Oh I got this. It makes inflation go up?
I think they would say that if you want to get paid more you gotta join the Army or ICE and there you go problem solved.
Most transparent administration ever.
Yep, they say their evil intentions out loud.
Ah. So bombing foreign nations is okay when it serves the bomber's interest.
I worry what happens when someone gives America the Iran treatment. I worry a lot more people are gonna get injured for no reason other than a foreign country's interests.
I worry what happens when someone gives America the Iran treatment.
Well. We just spawned a bunch more terrorists. So we'll get to find out.
What exactly are America's interests in Iran? Eradicating Islam? That's a big mistake. 1 in 8 people are Muslim — that's based on I heard once that Islam is the biggest religion with one billion members, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. They're everywhere though, and they wouldn't take a war on Islam laying down. Palestine is one thing, but expand that to Muslims en masse and you're going to have a problem. Establishing the US as a fossil fuel empire by taking over Middle Eastern countries and making them vassal states? Maybe a bit more realistic, but we'll see what OPEC thinks about that.
Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear.
Who wants Iran bombed off the map, for their own reasons? Who are their rivals and enemies? Perennially, the Gulf Arab states, countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
You know, Qatar. The country that just gave Donald Trump a really, really nice $400 milion-dollar plane, a gilded flying palace for his own use both during his presidency and after?
And you remember the United Arab Emirates, recently structuring a totally pointless crypto financial transaction so that $2 billion of it was stuffed into the Trump family’s otherwise worthless brand-new crypto financial firm?
And you remember the Saudis who stuffed $2 billion into the pockets of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner just as Trump’s first term in office came to a close? Enough people were alarmed about that they actually bothered to come up with an excuse for what made it OK. They said, don’t worry, Jared will never again work for the U.S. government; he’s never coming back to Washington, so we’ll never have to worry about having someone involved in U.S. policy who has also been given billions of dollars by Saudi Arabia.
Well, who was leading the negotiations on behalf of the United States with Iran before we just started this war with them? I mean, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in St. Kitts and Nevis. It wasn’t him. It was Jared Kushner, who was recently paid billions of dollars by Iran’s chief rival, sitting alongside Trump’s tiny real estate friend, Steve Witkoff, whose son recently sought to improve his family fortunes by going to Qatar to seek money from its sovereign wealth fund.
This op-ed is like one of those negative space illustrations.
You better tell the people paying for it before we bomb YOU in our own interests, jackass
