OK, 🍊 posts the real reason for war now

This is psychotic.

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 (@gtconway.bsky.social) 2026-02-28T12:35:35.188Z


Trump posts on Truth Social that "Iran tried to interfere with elections in 2020 and 2024 to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with the United States."

End snip.

So, it's all about him, not some regal purpose like regime change, or freedomdemocracy, or boosting the opposition to the current government, or anything other than his revenge. The MEdia is busy looking for some glorious reason. There is none. Don't let them gaslight you.

in causing untold death and destruction is to stop the 2026 election from happening, and get epstein off the front page.

We the People can NOT let that happen.

But I guess China was too big to attack, so he switched enemies to Iran

I believe Bibi has kompromat on orange assface or else this is his repayment for Bibi trying to give him Gaza. But I really believe little murderer has Epstein info so blackmailed him into doing this. Speculation, sure, but when you know the given reason is a total lie, one tries to figure out the real motivation for the action.

Since the late 1980s but most importantly since the 1992 Knesset speech by - guess who? - Bibi.

It makes up for all the negative coverage on Epstein, SOTU, the economy, etc. Election interference? Sure, anything to safeguard democracy.

Think I'll go back to bed so I can try to wake up in a universe where we are not bombing an Iranian girls' school because Trump thinks Iran interfered with an election he won.



At least W can feel a little comfort in knowing that he's no longer the president who started the stupidest war ever.

What their government has done to their people is horrific; however, for us to be attacking because negotiations aren't going our way or to build future Middle East resorts, or to divert from Epstein, etc., is a sure way for us to have even more enemies in the future. No one likes a bully, and we are becoming that guy on the playground that will eventually be piled upon and then ostracized once everyone else sees our weakness. We have already alienated our allies. When will they not be our allies?

Quiet strength always works better than belligerent weakness when it comes to diplomacy.

He’d fall to his knees crying like a baby and beg to stop.
