Here’s the process as I understand it (please correct my errors):

  1. USA likes Israel, a lot for some reason
  2. “Israel” attacks Iran. This whole thing is being done with the USA’s airplanes though.
  • Why does the USA love Israel so much?
  • What’s the logic here? Not just the conspiracy. But why now? Why at all? Is Israel gaining something that I’m not seeing? Destabilization the main goal? What’s the USA gaining here?

    For a long while after the Iraq debacle, I was predicting that Iran would be next, and it just kept not happening.

    I guess even the right-wingers of the time were too level-headed to want to open that can of worms.

    Heck, even Trump didn’t go there during his first term. I had accepted that I had been wrong.

    So, of course, this time, the crazy old narcissist has gone and done it.

    (This reads like I feel like I could have done something to prevent it. I know I couldn’t, I’m just some random guy, but I still feel like I took my eye off the ball.)

      I’ve been predicting Iran as the real target since the first gulf war

      People forget that the only reason Iraq wasn’t wiped out in the war with Iran in the eighties was US backing

      American troops were confused to find Iraqi soldiers with US weapons, they forget their history so quickly
