He’s just over there looking for the Epstein files so he can redact the evidence of him raping kids.

Or rather looking to toss them over board and if anyone finds them claim it’s forgeries from Iran

I want those files too because I believe they will expose more war crimes by the evil empire, but this just feels like trivializing lives of Iranians.

Geopolitics and war isn’t a distraction, and your entire political spectrum being filled with pedophiles is already known worldwide (murderers have no morals, it isn’t surprising), so I don’t understand what your post has to do with yet another American coup/regime change. Like the other guy said, let’s give priority to the victims of the empire (and we 1. Already know your leaders are pedos 2. If America didn’t completely mobilize and revolt before with every tragedy, inside and outside, having written confirmation that leaders are rapists won’t change a thing).

Incorrect, acts of war are traditionally used to distract US citizens. See: Most of Trump’s actions in bith terms, as well as Bill Clinton’s behavior during the Monica Lewinski trials.

USreal couldn’t destroy Iran through a coup so now they’re bringing in artillery.

Of course he will.

It’s a great distraction from the Epstein Files and, more importantly, he gets to pound his flabby, fat chest like a metaphorical silverback gorilla if it succeeds, from the safety and security of his bed overflowing with big macs and fries.

Well I guess he’s gotta attack someone and he’s been scared out of attacking Greenland

What are the geopolitical implications of him striking Iran? Will any allies likely retaliate?

I would think Iran would be on its own, given it’s people are also attacking the regime from the inside.

Russia buys Iranian Shahed drones to bomb Ukraine. India and China buy Iranian gas for cheap (because it’s sanctioned everywhere else).

Those would be the major players upset at Iran getting hit.

It also depends on the nature of the strikes. Targeted eliminations are probably not gonna draw much if any condemnation. Large-scale bombing for a sustained duration would be another matter.

Netanyahu wants it, and Trump wants a piece of the action in the GazaVegas post-genocide resort plan.
