Dang, it’s almost like this war has a ton of collateral damage for anyone nearby. Shame the US launched an unprovoked and unjustifiable attack that will only worsen the situation for everyone.

It’s already planned by the 1% of the 1%

From what little folks have been saying about the classified briefings, there is no plan. There is no Iran war goal, there was no thought about consequences. It’s all just an orange guy saying random shit so he can get paid.

Iran’s tensions with US have been going on for a long time, many have predicted this based on the dynamics of the Middle East. We all just waiting for the time bomb to explode and it happened.

The only thing that exploded was the exposure of the Epstein files with trumps name all over them. This war is purely to distract from that. It’s sickening.

I can agree on this, the Epstein files is one of many factors that caused the attack of Iran but the tension between Iran and US is already going on for years.

Sure, ever since 2018 when trump pulled out of the nuke deal with Iran, things have been headed down hill.

When you have a potentially volatile situation, lobbing bombs at it rarely makes it better. This wasn’t a “time bomb to explod[ing]”. This was a deliberate decision by Cheeto Mussolini to launch a foreign military adventure. While the current regime in Iran was far from ideal, it’s important to keep in mind why that regime was in place. The UK and US were directly involved in overthrowing the elected government in Iran in Operation Ajax. That resulted in a violent, repressive dictatorship. But it was friendly to UK/US oil interests, so that made it ok. When the Iranian people overthrew that government, the current Iranian government came to power.

That the current administration expects a different outcome this time around is the height of stupidity. All this will accomplish is creating another generation of Iranians who hate the US due to direct experience.

Suprisingly sounds like all 3 ships are fine.
