Operation Epstein is such a fitting name for this war.
The purpose is to distract from the Epstein files, and the people behind the war are the circles that Epstein compromised and gave the evidence on to Israel and Russia.

It’s also a gift to Russia since middle-eastern oil is effectively shut down now and the price of oil is skyrocketing, so Putin can get a fresh injection of cash into his economy.

Interesting how petrostates wind up authoritarian, right? Even in Canada, the most right wing bootlickers are in Alberta.

I’m sure there are some interesting academic studies on that, historical connections and the political nature of extractive vs regenerative energy production.

So a war that boosts both oil and inflation plays into the fascist power grab globally.
