Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran?

FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

Israel has some real, incontrovertible dirt on Trump that they are holding over him

He’s also desperate to have the US at war so he can suspend elections, because he knows that he will be hurt by the midterms

He’s also pathetically insecure, and history has traditionally looked back fondly at wartime leaders like Churchill and the like. He’s hoping for that

And the worst motivation, but one that I sincerely believe is accurate, is that he wants to use nuclear weapons. He wants to be remembered as a president who pushed the button. He’s a child, and he wants to play with all the toys

I hope he dies before he can do more harm

I.have no.idea what they’d know.that isn’t public already. In the past I’d say the Epstein connection but that’s all public. What the fuck could be in the files we don’t know about?

    And text only thus far. The Epstein files aren’t emails, they are TERABYTES of CSAM and worse videos and pictures.

A key thing to note is that it’s normally defensive leaders that are looked back on fondly. Attacking another nation usually doesn’t give this boost, or at least not as significantly. Frequently it’s negative in fact.

He’s too stupid to understand this though, if this is his reason. I don’t think it is though. At best, it’s a distraction. At worst, and more likely, it’s an excuse to implement policies that expand his powers, and maybe to prevent elections from taking place.
