Oh yes. And what was it we were getting from the pedo in chief’s war of choice again?
Global distraction from the Epstein files and the fact that Trump raped children on that island.
For the small small price of dead Iranians, dead Americans, and a fucked global economy, Trump can keep those in the news instead of the files! Winning!!
No this wasn't a distraction from the Epstien files, its been a long term republican goal. They've been trying to do a war with Iran since before the war with Iraq
The only response he ever gives is "it's worth it so Iran can't have a nuclear weapon". He probably isn't even aware in his demented brain that... we already had that, nor that his and Biden's handling of the economy these last six years has increased people's poverty exponentially.
It was an "inexpensive price to pay" to let Iranians have their own unfrozen assets back in return for de-nuclearizing.
Trump is the one who withdrew the US's involvement from the Iran Nuclear Deal, which specifically prevented them from building nuclear weapons.
The irony of the US constantly justifying it's actions in dysregulating the middle east with nuclear arms when the US has some of the most nuclear arms and is one of the last countries on earth that should
And even worse, we only really oppose nuclear proliferation because for other countries to have nukes would decrease the value of our bully pulpit. North Korea has demonstrated that nukes are now essential if a country wants to be left alone.
Well, he and other rich cronies are getting richer! Ummm…. And let’s seeeeeee….. uhhhhhhhhhh distraction forom the plundering, Epstein, the continued slide to fascism.
Tremendous war, everyone is saying it!
Don't you like converting your tax dollars into killing brown people across the world?? Someone has too right? We've been at it my whole life.
