I really want to know. I could go off on a diatribe or soap box it. But I really don’t get or who benefits. I think it’s just the US government fucking us again. I stand with Iran because we had no reason to hit them in the first place. But people are dieing, world hates America now more than ever, prices are at a breaking point and so on and so forth. But really what do we gain or lose that we haven’t already.
Rich USians want to colonise the middle east.
They donate to the AIPAC which gets pro-Israeli politicians elected who in turn pass legislation to funnel billions of taxpayer money to the state of Israel which then ends up funding the AIPAC even more.
They want the holy land to belong to white people. The Jews and Christians are ganging up on the Muslims because of racism.
The other countries in the area have either bent the knee (Saudi, UAE, Qatar) or have been crushed by the US (Iraq, Syria). Iran is a powerful country so can put up a fight.
The end goal of the war is an expanded Israel with Palestinians forcibly removed. Iran and Hamas want to stop this.
Yes the Esptein files relate to the timeline but this war continues after Trump is gone due to the existence of the AIPAC. A bill has just been passed to essentially combine the US and Israeli militaries ffs.

Israel using Trump as an easily manipulatable puppet to fight a proxy war on their behalf.
