    Why did he do it? Let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth:

    Also, Epstein files.

        It’s nearly a perfect axiom at this point. Even in this article where all the allegations are pointing to the very good possibility Israel forced Trump’s (tiny) hand–his response is to say that he forced Israel’s hand. Knowing his incapability of telling the truth but his penchant for polar-opposite lies, it’s at the point now that i feel you can predict the truth of his statements by simply working out whatever the opposite of what he says may be.

      We’re all on the same side here, and I don’t want to split hairs. Still, I just wanted to point out that what you posted is more like straight from the horse’s ass.

      Well, that’s different. He was talking about Obama, and Obama is clearly from Kenya an Kenya people think different.

    They are doing this deliberately to keep Americans confused, and so the biased can pick the narrative that best suits them. Americans are very superficially engaged in what’s happening abroad, so any propaganda will do until it becomes an existential crisis.

    Ah, yes. I shall provide a justification for the war on Trump’s behalf, as a devout follower of Vengeful Christ and Merciless Mary.

    You see, after conquering the Roman Empire, Jesus viewed the Persians as enemies of God Himself. Those who follow Zoroastrianism do not follow God. It is for this reason Jesus sought revenge against the Persians for their lack of faith, and instituted pogroms to remove any of Persian descent from the Empire. Regrettably, Jesus was unable to complete His campaign against the Persians before his untimely death.

    What Trump thought of as a “feeling” was actually an order from Vengeful Christ, to finish what He started. Jesus considers the existence of Iran to be an affront to His eternal glory, and the region must be subjugated for Jesus’ return.

      This but unironically. US Military leadership has been pretty open about the war on terror actually being a war on Islam. I don’t actually think it’s that simple, but I’m sure at least a few high ranking officers sincerely believe that.

      If there are antichrists, these people are it. Jesus was violent twice at most and with zero fatalities. Even then, it was to drive out the profiteers who were desecrating the temple by using the idea of God to exploit poor people.

      If they get their wish for the return of a Rambo Jesus, they’re gonna be pretty shocked when he starts cleaning house in the mega churches, as the Bible claims he did in the temple.

    I’m old enough to remember the Iraq “doublya emm deez” and GW calling everything nookyalar. It was pretty insulting to everyone’s intelligence.

    This is…just openly taunting us.

    Watch any Trump speech from the last whenever and watch him struggle with the concept of a coherent narrative in general

    The reason is simple, Trump wanted a war, a proper, high death rate war, that is the reason.
