Ah yes because that has worked out swimmingly for us in the past

No they are not… they are simply a distraction from the Epstein files because Trump is afraid to be exposed as the child rapist and human trafficker he is

It’s a few things. There are several interest groups this serves: pedophile narcissists, oil profiteers, racists, Zionist fascists, apocalyptic Christian cultists, AI scammers, weapons vendors, etc. All our favourite people have reasons why they want to see Iranian cities bombed. And there are probably some people in the mix who want to make life difficult for China.

He has no plan

His plan is:

  1. Bully weaker countries to feel better
  2. Distract from disastrous domestic policy
  3. Stay out of jail by ginning up an emergency to prevent midterm elections.
  4. Steal
  5. Bathe in unearned praise

  1. Distract people from the fact that you raped children.

But maybe that falls under 3.

One of many reasons he should be in jail. I’m not picky.

Lmfao, China wanting to make everything about them… again!

Don’t think it’s a great plan, if it goes on a while I can see China giving Iran weapons to test in the field.

It’s definitely part of their grander geopolitical strategy, else they wouldn’t have hit Iran (twice in the span of a year now). China is a big consumer of Iranian oil IIRC, so crippling their ally and their oil exports is not a bad move, in a vacuum.
