    Once again, US domestic concerns led to a foreign war of fear that backfires as soon as it starts. The real casualty however are those killed men, women and children under the direction of US and Israeli leaders. Do we not think that those families will be angry and seek revenge?

      Did they actually have domestic concerns though?

      It looks more like their Dictator wanted to start another war (possibly to distract from his many crimes, or to distract from his domestic racist death squads, or to raise his side’s standing in the upcoming elections, or to distract as he works to rig said election), and did so because nobody can stop him.

      It seems to be very effective, people are paying huge amounts of attention to this, especially those who were on his side but starting to rethink their position given the continued fallout of the Files. Many of them have instead focused on him as a strong no nonsense wartime leader, which was, I suspect, the plan.

      Anyway, just a reminder that a few weeks ago he also promised to use his military to annex a European NATO nation if it didn’t surrender in full to him and cede itself to be annexed.

      Given that he’s started two crazy wars this year already, it would be unwise not to take him seriously when he threatens us directly.

      The point being, aside from everything else, Europe must not drop its guard against US aggression. They will eventually turn their military sights on us, and we must stand together.

            Obinice was asking if there was a domestic concern driving this war…

            I replied saying that hiding the Trump-Epstein files IS a domestic concern and, as far as I can tell, the only reason the USA went to war with Iran

            The war itself is not a domestic concern… but the reason the USA is spending a billion a day, killing innocent children and civilians and exposing their troops and allies to danger is simply so the Orange Pedophile Rapist they elected as president is not exposed to his past crimes

      No domestic concerns IMO, it’s just the result of certain factions inside of America colluding (the ones bribed by/working for AIPAC and likewise but for the MIC). Ammunition needs to be consumed, weapons need to be sold, for the MIC to make profit and Israel is basically a rogue colony who wants a Greater Israel or at least enough destruction in the region to make them normalize with Israel in very favourable terms. Add the possibility of Mossad having some truly disgusting media on Trump and Trump considering going the way of Netanyahu (he’s gonna have to create or use the already existing chaos to sell us the “America is going through extremely dire times so I’m gonna have to stay in power to correct it, it’s an emergency!” and rule until he dies, I guess?) and this new Judeo-American crime against humanity was basically always gonna happen.

          Agreed. Whether it’s scandal or socioeconomic issues, within America, it’s a domestic concern.

      when those families retaliate, they would be called terrorists

        Sadly our sides use language that differentiates, just like that. I’m confident that the White House contains a regime of unhinged religious cultists, suppressing the people and starting wars.
