The US has recommenced its bombing of Iran — less than a week after Trump’s ‘justice’ department (DOJ) blocked a court-ordered release of further Epstein files.

Epstein revelations, or Trump’s attempts to avoid them, have been so synchronised with the US-Israel war on Iran that it has been dubbed “Operation Epstein Distraction”. The attacks breach the US’s commitments under its ‘Memorandum of Understanding‘ with Iran.

    If you had told me all this whole thing around trump 20yrs ago I would’ve laughed at your silly ass. And here I stand now, lacking the correct adjective of how I’m feeling about this reality.

    And I’m not even a US-american…

      The UFO stuff is having zero impact as far as I can tell, anyone it’s distracting wasn’t paying attention in the first place

    Trump going on a tirade about all the tomahawks he’s going to fire loses some steam after the tenth time he does it.

    At this point, I would genuinely like to see some kind of critical analysis regarding the effectiveness of these attacks, relatively. Because all I’m hearing - from Kiev to Riyadh to Seoul - is that interceptor missiles are in short supply and (relatively) cheap drones and ballistics have become shockingly effective at this stage of the game.

    This whole “we can’t stop screaming about our pedophile president yet are too corrupt for actual consequences, too complacent for action and too stupid to not be distracted by yet another war the moronic orange started”-shitshow gets boring after a while. And for the people directly affected by your wars it’s even worse. How about you actually fix your corrupt authoritarian state or shut up and live with the failed state you are seemingly too lazy to do anything against?

      The Trump cultists walked right into the capital. Now that the regime is once again bombing innocent people in faraway countries the people just moan and go “but the files!”

      Fuck the files. Do something. If what’s already been released, coupled with the despot’s history isn’t enough, nothing will ever be.
