    Did they actually have domestic concerns though?

    It looks more like their Dictator wanted to start another war (possibly to distract from his many crimes, or to distract from his domestic racist death squads, or to raise his side’s standing in the upcoming elections, or to distract as he works to rig said election), and did so because nobody can stop him.

    It seems to be very effective, people are paying huge amounts of attention to this, especially those who were on his side but starting to rethink their position given the continued fallout of the Files. Many of them have instead focused on him as a strong no nonsense wartime leader, which was, I suspect, the plan.

    Anyway, just a reminder that a few weeks ago he also promised to use his military to annex a European NATO nation if it didn’t surrender in full to him and cede itself to be annexed.

    Given that he’s started two crazy wars this year already, it would be unwise not to take him seriously when he threatens us directly.

    The point being, aside from everything else, Europe must not drop its guard against US aggression. They will eventually turn their military sights on us, and we must stand together.

          Obinice was asking if there was a domestic concern driving this war…

          I replied saying that hiding the Trump-Epstein files IS a domestic concern and, as far as I can tell, the only reason the USA went to war with Iran

          The war itself is not a domestic concern… but the reason the USA is spending a billion a day, killing innocent children and civilians and exposing their troops and allies to danger is simply so the Orange Pedophile Rapist they elected as president is not exposed to his past crimes
