Michele Feltman StriderSo, the Epstein files are "start a war with Iran" bad
GhostOnTheHalfShellThe attack on Iran is more than just file related. This sort of shit’s been in the works for years and years.
Inspired@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider The attack, yes. The timing? I'm guessing it is pretty related.
Yes, and no. The agenda of the super rich has been to consolidate their grip on power and to aggressively take resources. These are the kinds of governments. They can never back down or show weakness, and they always have to engage in aggression in order to keep their own momentum. Going forward.
The deep and popularity surrounding the files are a factor, but we have so many other ones and play that includes the economy as well as their war on the American public.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider Yes there are other near-term factors that also affected the timing. I guess my point could be better summed up as: "Why strike Iran?" Mostly the reasons you cite. "Why now?" All sorts of unrelated reasons completely unrelated to the situation vis-a-vis the US and Iran.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider Also, I doubt the goal is truly regime change in Iran. Similar to Venezuela where they just took out the very top. They would be happy to see the whole regime fall, sure, but for the cost they are willing to settle for taking out the leader to accomplish many of the near-term goals I point to plus hope that the remaining leaders will be cowed even if they are still diametrically opposed to the US.
Power vacuums are never exactly a smart idea. It tends to lead to massive political instability.
The power balance in the areas filled with rivals and a disruption to that balance of power is going to have downstream effects well outside of Iran
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider Oh yeah, it's bad. I don't pretend to know exactly how bad but I think it is pretty clear most of the people saying "don't attack Iran" weren't doing it because they want the current government in place. It is because the sort of consequences you are pointing to are likely far worse. Having said that, no matter how unlikely, I hope we turn out to be wrong. The Iranian people have suffered so much.
Jess👾@inspired @GhostOnTheHalfShell @michelestrider Bibi also knows how to make Trump dance. And Israel needs another forever war to keep him out of jail.

Given what we now know about certain now on alive individuals, and some very alive dictators, I won’t mention Russia by name, they do seem to have procured a great deal of material on the recreational activity of a great many political and business figures.
