    No they are not… they are simply a distraction from the Epstein files because Trump is afraid to be exposed as the child rapist and human trafficker he is

      It’s a few things. There are several interest groups this serves: pedophile narcissists, oil profiteers, racists, Zionist fascists, apocalyptic Christian cultists, AI scammers, etc. All your favourite people have reasons why they want to see Iranian cities bombed.

      His plan is:

      1. Bully weaker countries to feel better
      2. Distract from disastrous domestic policy
      3. Stay out of jail by ginning up an emergency to prevent midterm elections.
      4. Steal
      5. Bathe in unearned praise

    It’s definitely part of their grander geopolitical strategy, else they wouldn’t have hit Iran (twice in the span of a year now). China is a big consumer of Iranian oil IIRC, so crippling their ally and their oil exports is not a bad move, in a vacuum.
