I'm seeing no mention of the Jeffrey Epstein files...the attack is working.
Eh, US Imperialism is far older than the Epstein files. Iran was attacked because it's the last anti imperialist force in the ME that has any capacity to resist Israel and US. Also it controls a large chunk of the world's oil
Trump trying to take attention away from Epstein is no more lame an excuse than the ones dreamed up by all the presidents since Carter. In the last two weeks Trump has said it is about oil...protecting protestors...nuclear weapons program...back to oil...
It's always been that way, scandal or none.
Erm, aren't you? I see mentions of it everywhere. In fact, I see more mentions of it than actual decent analysis of US deployments. It's even starting to get annoying seeing all the OSINT channels I follow get flooded with it.
Epstein is deeply connected with the region, esp in Shitrael, UAE, Dubai, GCC countries, and all the players, and going back to Iran-Contra CIA arms smuggling in the 1970s.
Focusing only on one piece of a larger imperialist project is a distraction from the bigger picture.
There are 5 mentions of Epstein in the top hot 25 posts on Reddit all.
If this is supposed to be a distraction, it's not working.
The Epstein story is peanuts compared to WAR WITH IRAN. if anything the Epstein is the actual distraction too literal war and imperialism, you know the thing that could kill millions of people.
