Why? Good question. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

WE STILL DON'T HAVE A CLEAR ANSWER ON THE MOST BASIC QUESTION ABOUT THE IRAN WAR

WHY did the U.S. go to war?

A Popular Information review of public statements over the last 9 days found 17 DIFFERENT EXPLAINATIONS. Many of which contradict each other.

A useful idiot in the WH who was easily convinced when threatened with release of the entirety of the epstein files, unredacted.

This is bibi's wet dream of forty years and he will continue his genocidal actions until he is stopped, probably by assassination.

That's what this is all about.

He's expecting the Board of Peace to give him billons. Venezuela gave him their oil. What can Iran cough up?
