    This is such nonsense. Netanyahu has been trying non-stop to get the US to attack Iraq and Iran for literally 30 years. And the US kept saying no.

    The US is not benefiting from having all their regional assets and oil fields blown up by Iranian missiles. The only party which does not care about this whatsoever is of course Israel. The cart and the horse keep getting switched around.

    Worse, they want to coax Iran into bombing the shit out of Israel so they can claim the biblical battle of Armageddon has begun. They’re accelerationists

    The CIA have wanted this for decades, they just needed someone in the White House who was stupid enough to do it.

      Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, and Biden would also have done it if the opportunity presented itself. The US has wanted to do this since 1978, when its Iranian puppet regime was overthrown.

        Sure, but this doesn’t look all that opportune. They’re getting absolutely sonned and nobody wants to provide support, they didn’t even stage a false flag to drum up support or nothing.
