Makes perfect sense if you dont really care about the iranians and just want to ensure continual conflict in the region so you can gain cheap resource access and can legitimize your authoritarian regime because your country is oh so threatened all the time.
I really think you guys need to wake up to the fact that they don’t care about distracting from the Epstein files because they know they can’t be held accountable whatsoever.
The reality is every file could come out unredacted tomorrow and absolutely nothing would happen (maybe one or two major donors would get house arrest at best).
They’re not trying to distract from anything because it doesn’t matter. No one will do anything.
They are just furthering the US’s economic and military goals by toppling unfriendly governments because they can. They don’t care about optics, but they do care about whatever goals they have underlined for themselves.
The most likely unsettling reality for most American progressives, I imagine, is that toppling Iran, establishing a friendly government and gaining military power in the region, benefits them as well, just like with Venezuela, but it is a dark reality for most of the rest of the world. Not because Iran’s government was great, they were absolute shit, but because that means the US will just extort whoever they want whenever they want.
Some Americans probably prefer to believe this is a distraction than to see how this ultimately does benefit their own country’s immediate military interests at the expense of almost everybody else, not to mention setting an incredibly grim precedent for the future.
Basically, I think people are being naive or deliberately playing dumb when they pretend they don’t understand how this benefits the US military industrial complex, and instead think it’s all a distraction. Yes, what benefits you guys actively harms other humans. That’s the sad reality of geopolitics sometimes.
they’re still just a useful punching bag, there’s only so much they can do squirreled away digging oil from deserts in the middle of nowhere
the funny part is, the West’s enemies best avenue for attack/disruption (*especially the US) is a direct consequence of the mass propaganda they go out of their way to depoly against their own citizenry
It seems a very stupid thing for US-Israel to give them all the ammunition in their internal propaganda war.

And distract people from the Epstein files.
I mean, yeah, but also it depends on America’s war aims. If the plan is to just blow him up and leave ala venezula I’m not sure trump cares.
You mean distracting the masses from the Epstein files?

yeah, bingo.
It would be generous to call that a plan.
The ayatollah has spent decades building up redundancies in his regime to prepare for this war. There’s already a replacement for his replacement.
As opposed to which course of action where they wouldn’t say those things?
