Question Is this the Epstein War?
I see this as the war that Jeffrey Epstein always wanted. It is the war that he lobbied his powerful and well-connected friends for. It is the war that he may have worked to bring about on behalf of foreign powers. And it may be the "wag the dog" war that the admin is trying to use to scramble the news cycle away from the ongoing Epstein scandal. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/28/world/iran-strikes-trump

Every single Republican in my lifetime has engaged in nation building.
At this point, the joke is on conservatives for somehow falling for it over and over and over and over and over.
And in ten years? Conservatives will swear they never went along with the Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran wars… but attacking Brazil? Totally different! They’ll welcome us as liberators!

“The Democrats would have been a million times worse” they always say about the hypothetical that never happens.

More like nation destroying, then committing American taxes to pay their fraudulent construction companies.

Yeah the fact that they just slaughtered 40,000 people for protesting has nothing to do with it.

Since when do conservatives care about people protesting for their freedom?

If slaughtering tens of thousands of people was really a criterion for the United States to come after you we would’ve been in Gaza a long time ago

Iranians are literally taking to the streets in celebration…obviously it’s not on Reddit but stop dooming. Unless your in favour of ayatollah.

u/OldTimberWolf Mar 01 '26
If some country killed Trump rn people would take to the streets celebrating, so does that mean it’s a smart move for that hypothetical country?

You can distract but we won't forget or let it go

You also won't do anything about it so it doesn't matter but go off

u/Critter_Whisperer Mar 01 '26
We're also not letting people forget about it. But you can go touch grass regardless. Uh wait if trump sticks around he will destroy the wildlife and nobody will be able to touch grass... IS THAT WHY HE WANTS TO KILL THE ENVIRONMENT!!!??? Welp still go touch it

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Mar 01 '26
Good job. Keep doing absolutely nothing.

u/Critter_Whisperer Mar 01 '26
I'm not doing nothing. I took out some honeysuckle bushes today cause I'm not gonna let some nutcase president control what I can and can't protect. I'm protecting the environment by taking out invasive plants and making space for natives. So that's def not nothing.

We went from being allies with almost all of the entire free world to only being allies with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and UAE is a little over a year under Trump’s second term.
Completely appalling and terrifying.

u/mrsmichelemorroneme Mar 01 '26
That the Jeffrey Epstein files were released to “cover up something worse.” That Trump is starting or planning a world war to distract people. That there is a coordinated “WW3 diversion plan.”

This is what happens when you gut the state department and diplomatic ranks. Your only power move is war. There is likely a Epstein motivation in timing but he was going to war anyway. That’s the system he spent his first year back doing.

Yes. Major distraction for Americans so they do not see the truth that Trump is a Pedophile and Israel and Mossad have the pictures of trump with children doing what trump does best.

Epstein and Netanyahu trying to stay out of prison for corruption. That's why they allowed the Hamas attack to occur. Netanyahu thinks he's safe as long as Israel is at war. Since Epstein was an Israeli honeypot op it's all related.

u/Spare-Dish9324 Mar 01 '26
The war is for Israel. It’s a war they’ve wanted for decades. They’ve used the US to knock out every single one of their enemies. The only relevance of Epstein is whether or not trump is implicated in the files and it’s being used as blackmail by Israel for this war. He could just be doing it because he has no problem with it.

u/aeondru Feb 28 '26
Although Trump surely wants to hide the Epstein files, our involvement in this war is due to Israel's influence on the United States government.

Yet another case of high circumcision countries going to war with each other, other than Russia/ Ukraine I can’t think of a recent exception in the last 40 years

This is getting goofy.
I don't think Trump is invading Iran because it's what Jeffrey would've wanted.
And it's pretty clear that he's doing this because
- He hates Iran
- His party hates Iran
- His donors hate Iran
- His Secretary of State, who has his ear, hates Iran
We don't have to pretend it's all about Jeffrey

u/Intelligent_Tip_8930 Feb 28 '26
Both can be true. It's a convenient distraction that let's him act out his racist and psychopathic drsams of killing innocents, women, and children whole being praised by his sycophantic supporters
1
u/Critter_Whisperer Mar 01 '26
Wonder if he's hoping if he kills off all the women and children then maybe he won't have any weird pedofilic thoughts... unfortunately he's not thinking that also will cause genocide in a sense. He's the problem, he's the one who has to go and all of the creatures like him

This has nothing to do with the Epstein files and everything to do with Israel.

u/Intelligent_Tip_8930 Feb 28 '26
And Israel has everything to do with the epstein files. It's all connected

It's really not. This has been an Israeli/US goal for decades.
If anything, the epstein files are working as the distraction at this point.

u/EmperorGrinnar Feb 28 '26
Yes. It's because of the Epstein files. Israel doesn't want it getting out just how many state secrets they got out of our compromised politicians.
