Trump-Epstein files™️ distraction
Operation Epstein fury
operation IVANKA wife.

Are you saying that what has the potential to be the largest war since world war II is just a distraction from a bunch of documents that could eventually get someone convicted, even though most likely they have the power of not being convicted regardless?

I’m sure there are better ways to distract people.

It’s hard for people to conceive how monumentally stupid Donald Trump really is.

I think of it this way. He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead he figured that he could sell his fans NFTs.

It’s completely on brand for him to start a war

Why would you deny it is a better question

Only Americans give any serious importance to the Epstein files. I don’t know if this was the case, but I’m pretty indifferent. This war is a way larger problem than the Epstein files.

If this war is actually the result of someone wanting to take attention away from the Epstein files, then it may be better off for everyone to stop thinking about the Epstein files and prevent this kind of stuff from happening again.

There’s a lot of jaw dropping shit you just wrote but the only thing worth the time to mention is that, obviously, trump is the one who started the war, so it’s kind of up to his reasoning why. It is beyond clear he did this to distract from his pedophilia. People had been saying for weeks he would do it because the files were looking worse for him all the time.

Again I ask why do you deny this.

I don’t deny anything.

It is beyond clear he did this to distract from his pedophilia.

It is not beyond clear to me. It feels like a huge oversimplified explanation of the causes of what could be a huge conflict. The war was started by both the US and Israel, not by Donald Trump alone.

Did Trump get into this war just to take attention off the Epstein files? It is possible, but I doubt it is the main reason.

I was wrong to reply here. Because given that you wrote that, you give trump more credit than a person who can be conversed with would. 👋

To talk with someone you need them to be convinced Trump is stupid? We are talking about the president of the United States, no matter how stupid he may be I’m sure he’s got plenty of advisors. The military had to have a plan for this.
Your statement implies that trump has ever had a non-self-interested reason for doing anything. Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with. It seems like you’ve been asleep for 10 years.

Yes.

Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with.

I’m afraid you’re living in a bubble. This is not a good stance when talking with people. If you know better than I do, you can explain.

Saying that Trump never did anything but for his own interest is an oversimplification which I could only attribute to the strong polarization of opinions in the US. However, I don’t know much about this and I may be wrong on whether it comes from polarization or some other cause.

He was after all elected twice as president, some people even tried to topple the government when he lost the elections. He clearly did something those people liked.

I won’t participate in this farce anymore, but I will be assuming anything you say from now on is from the standpoint of helping trump propaganda wise

I’m afraid you are misunderstanding: I have no sympathy for Trump.

Open your mind, around the world there’s a bit more than just republicans and democrats.

I’m afraid you’re misunderstanding. You’ve discredited yourself to me and nothing can change that now

The military had to have a plan for this.

They’ve literally admitted they didn’t plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, what the fuck are you blathering about

What do you mean? The US military had to make plans for an attack. An attack of this scale is not organised one day to the other.

they didn’t plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz

They probably did not, so what? Does that take away that they planned the attack? Does that take away that Trump was likely advised on the matter? Does that imply that the only reason why the US attacked Iran is to take away attention from the Epstein files?

Worst war even conducted

So far

There have been worse wars but they’ve accumulated their worseness over a longer period of time. In terms of failures per minute, Epstein Fury is in the lead
Second only to the Seven Hours War.
all true but wtf is that sticker on the lower right
Im a stealer bastard and took it from reddit. Idk if they someone added it to the picture or if reddit does it automatically
But Lemmy don’t like when people go there

For the most part, I don’t think Lemmy cares what other sites people visit, including Reddit.

That said, mostly site/user watermarks are pretty stupid. Like do they expect some kind of credit for attribution for a meme? And it’s also kind of curious, as I’ve never seen this style of reddit watermark before. What does it even mean? Is it from a cowboy sub?

Crediting the author is not bad idea. With that sticker someone who liked this very much and wants to see more similar stuff may try to track down the source.
track it down to cowboy
sloppy seal of cowboy approval the world has to know
Refuses to admit they need ukrainian anti drone tech. Because you know zelenskyy will make jd say thanks.
Trump is too childish for that. I bet Iran could make trump back down on asking others to protect the Strait of Hormuz just by making fun of usa begging others to help
They dont need it, they could just stop attacking Iran.

That would be admitting they made a mistake.

Never going to happen

Blames Biden for fuel prices being high
Norway should put him in jail and give him a PS/5
Norway will have to start a Nobel for warmongering soon
lol The Nobel War Prize has a nice ring to it. Sounds right for someone with a Secretary of War.
Norwegian prisons are too good for people like him. Trump should rot in one of those American slavery torture prisons they have over there.

I was sure he would find a way to blame Obama for this.

Also if a Russian asset was running this war, the first thing they would do would be to lift sanctions on Russia and force the cost of oil up …hmmm…

The purpose of a system is what it does - Wikipedia

If it looks like a duck and starts a war like a duck…

How does this relate to who is running a war? War is not some system designed to do some specific thing.

I’m not saying Russia is running a war or not, but your link is irrelevant.

A person is not a system.

The US needs to create some government that isn’t autocratic though.

He has time still. He’s already blamed Biden for allegedly allowing the Iranian “sleeper cells” in, which he totally knows where they are right now, but just isn’t arresting them. But he does know about them you guys
Vance just went on TV to blame Joe Biden.
  • lose geopolitical standing
  • run out of precision ammo
  • need China’s rare earths to build more bombs
  • switch to 1970 bombs and long ground war
  • let Iran break petrodollar by allowing Yuan
  • lose reserve currency status
  • lose all allies
  • trade deficit gets even worse
  • Yuan becomes reserve currency
  • Wall Street collapses completely

This might be those weeks where decades happen. So many possibilities. It’ll be exciting to see what happens, from a distance.

honestly, can’t believe that an Iran-US war is becoming an Iranian victory, with most of the US supporting Iran.

US was always a paper tiger. the military isn’t designed for any sort of war, but designed to funnel public funds to military shareholders’s pockets.

“You fool, you just activated my trap card”

Idk, it’s possible our military just always sucked but Im more inclined to believe it’s just ineffective because the people running it are absolute braindead clowns.

I don’t think its a question of skill or training.

Iran holds all the cards.

both. it was designed to be a money sink. that’s why it’s budget is greater than basically all the rest of the world military, but lost a 20+ year war against some of the poorest peoples in the world.

It is incredibly effective against civilians though

A lot of military is just upkeep, and thats I think where the US shines, given they can export any inflation created.
For all the American hate against socialism, the military is our biggest jobs program.
… That’s the opposite of socialism.
Yeah, the US military is only good at murdering brown agrarian peasants. Especially their ground forces; they regularly get schooled in international exercises and they have to tell the OPFOR to take it easy on them because it hurts their feelings to not be the best.

You military has always been extremely capable of attack.

But your defense has been destroyed by corruption since at least the 90s.

It’s not quite as exciting, watching it happen from inside.
“Uhh… uhh… But woke… and trans children… and groomers… ohh… he was a friend of Epstein…”
As someone with an inside perspective, I’ll appreciate your outside perspective for a quick laugh between cry-sessions
So if there was at least material gain for the American public, it would be ok?
