“There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” one of the sources told Politico under the condition of anonymity.

        One of my biggest problems with the past 8-9 years is the amount of blame Trump gets compared to his army of cronies making all of the policy decisions. He is a demonstrably terrible person, but he’s clearly not the brains behind these policies

    The new Axis of Evil. Shitler and pedolini. I’d say more than likely Israel is going to bomb a us ship as a false flag operation so pedolini can justify a regime change war.

      There are literally dozens of Iranians asking for it on European streets. Demonstrations every week, often very explicitly asking for that.

          When a regime kills 30.000 protestors in a few days don’t be surprised that their exiled family members ask the regime to be bombed. I fully understand them.

            The pro-democracy movement has made it very clear that they want no US involvement. It’ll get civilians killed and will make it harder to dislodge the mullahtocracy.

            Where did that number come from? That’s a propaganda narrative and a made up number. The United States and Israel are rogue fascist regimes ignoring international law at this point. Our media has been actively and publicly consolidated into pro Israel hands like Larry Ellison’s recent acquisition of tic toc and abc. I don’t believe it and I don’t believe we are doing this for liberation. We have imposed harsh sanctions on Iran for decades. With everything that is happening inside of our own country it is very hard to believe that human rights is the agenda for this administration. Mossad and the cia were in the protests killing people or funding and arming opposition because that is our playbook for regime change. Bombing or an Invasion of Iran would not be for the benefit of the Iranian people. Over a million people died in Iraq and the fabricated document stating that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction given to Colin Powell to present to the UN was from Israel. There’s countless footage of Bibi stating that Iran is manufacturing nukes and is a threat since the 80’s trying to instigate American military intervention. This is being done for the greater Israel project only. The greater Israel project is a settler colonialist expansion project that replaces the indigenous population with settlers through land grabs and genocide. Israel is by far the most dangerous and violent country on earth at this point they are constantly bombing their neighbors and annexing territory. Israel killed at least 70k (but probably way more) in Gaza to steal their land and they still aren’t letting journalists or humanitarian aid into Gaza to get an accurate assessment of the reality. We do know that the UN has determined that it was a genocide and over 100 countries have issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu. We need to stand down and completely divest from Israel and allow the un to do a full investigation of Gaza. The United States has threatened the EU, Canada, Mexico and several others at this point in pedogate and were starving Cuba to install disastrous American capitalism that is failing here in our own country so the pedo class can have more.

      Yes well it will be a pre-emptive strike in terms of legality and public approval in the sense that the strike pre-empts anyone in their right mind supporting it or there being any non-bullshit legal basis for it.

        It really has been used as anti-Israel actions is anti-Semitism, which is a load of horseshit. If the U.S. bombs Iran and people criticize it, it’s Anti-U.S. sentiment, not Anti-christian sentiment, unless all Christians suddenly say bombing Iran is what God wants.

            Yeah but it’s going away. There’s an entire generation of people who grew up seeing terms like racism and sexism and anti-semitism being used to deflect against legitimate arguments.

      Except we are clearly setting up our emotional support Israel to take all of the blame when this goes south, which it will…and Israel will deserve blame for it, they are foaming at the mouth for regional war but the US will spin around and say “we’ve been deceived by the jews again!” to get out of admitting to itself how fucked up the US is all by itself.

      Cue history repeating itself in the same violent, xenophobic, stupid ways…

        Clearly Israel is the only one who wants this war, the US is just following orders.

        This is why US shouldn’t allow its politicians to be up for sale, but alas, hard to fix stupid.

          There is no clearly delineating the idea of US and Israel in this foreign policy context, it is a continuous enmeshed concept, Israel is a vassal state of the US, I don’t say that condescendingly, that is what it is.

    Israel already tried this with their 12-Day War and ate shit when their David’s Sling and Arrow system got riddled with ballistic buckshot.

    Do they have an appetite for another active engagement? Idk. Seems like they prefer to go after softer targets

      No but Trump has an appetite for firing off all the air defenses that the US and Europe could use to resist Russia/give in aid to Ukraine and the air defense missile companies would love to have their buy orders full for the next 10 years from dumping the entire interceptor stock in an intense war with Iran.

      If US service members die in missile strikes on bases in the middle east, all the better for underlining the stock market value of air defense missile companies.

        US and Europe could use to resist Russia

        Grizzlies owner Robert Pera’s tech company linked to Russia in war, per report

        Telecommunications equipment made by the company of Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Pera is being used by the Russian military in its war against Ukraine, according to a report from Hunterbrook Media.

        In the report, Hunterbook Media revealed video where Wi-Fi equipment made by Ubiquiti is being shown on the front lines in the Russia-Ukraine war. The equipment reportedly has helped Russia use drones that have targeted civilians in Ukraine.

        “Without Ubiquiti, these drones in Russia, the ones leading to massacres, would not work,” Hunterbrook reporter Sam Koppelman said on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Jan. 27. “They would be flying blind.”

        The US and Europe are profiting massively off this conflict. They don’t want it to end.
