I am beginning to wonder if this "wagging the dog" war has been the plan all along?

Yes, to cover up this or that, is the reason! But, why not start it last year, just after the “dim witted idiot” took office?

Well, I’m not a betting person, but a part of me thinks they waited until all the chaos got worse! Then he could waltz in and say see they have “nukes” causing even more chaos?

He wants people to suffer and he doesn’t care who or what is affected. He is stupidly ignorant in many ways, but evil is a different kind of ignorance. He will do anything to stay prevalent with his chaotic behavior.

We did start to see this last year with ICE rolling in and around US cities, the bombing of Iran the first time, going after so-called “drug boats” Venezuela and other countries.

This has been a planned idea and it feels like there is more to come after Iran. He will make more lies up to get more money. Yep, this is all about the war of money other profitable minerals. He wants everything and is willing to do whatever it takes!

We think this bad now? Wait and see who is next? It’s the Putin playbook! Take what’s not yours and get it by all cost.

Hopefully he’ll be gone soon enough, but if he’s not? No telling what’s next.

greed and power without "woke".

Current administration thought they could bomb the shit of Iran, killing, maiming, destroying infrastructures, assassinate the leaders, and Iran would surrender immediately.

After congress passed the Release the Epstein tape shit got real.

FBI may have Epstein island snuff films that are way worse than a war.

Oil companies are good with what's going down, as an aside.

“So here we are, doing what Prime Minister Netanyahu said he wanted to do for 40 years, which was to attack Iran. “It’s just Netanyahu had not found a president stupid enough to drag the United States into that war before. And now Donald Trump has done it.” — Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MA)
