Folks, CALM DOWN, this is still in the workshopping phase ok? First we bomb them, then we workshop WHY we bombed them, do you not understand the plan!?

Democrats, predictably, were apoplectic. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians,” said Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, who had received classified briefings from Rubio. “There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.”


Meanwhile somewhere below decks on the Titanic 11:45 PM (ship’s time) on April 14, 1912

Well, if we were to equate the threat of icebergs to an imminent threat to our ship, then we would be in uncharted territory! - a well dressed crew member with an officer’s hat calmly explains to a passenger.

    If you state reasons for doing something that gives everyone a thing to look at to see if you are succeeding or failing.

    Trump is, above all else, a master in marketing. He has complete confidence that, through marketing skills, he will be able to take credit for anything good that comes, and all failures can be either ignored or blamed on someone else.

    But stating reasons up front makes it harder to do this.

    Well they could just tell the truth and admit it was to distract from the Epstein files.

    They gave a reason, it’s just stupid.

    Rubio said it was a preemptive strike to preempt their strike after the Israeli preemptive strike.

    Kinda WW1 logic.

    The causus belli is probably somewhere in the Epstein files, let’s all check them thoroughly!

      The thing is if these bombings are supposed to be distracting everyone from the tRUMP-Epstein files then why is it called Operation Epstein War?

    They bombed Iran to get people to forget that Trump and his circle are mass-scale slavers, child rapists, and traitorous foreign agents.
