The answer for all Non Americans: there was no reason.
The answer for all Us Americans: because one person has decided it.
Or because Israel has leverage over the US and it would be very uncomfortable for the US if they did not go to war against Iran with them.
There are multiple countries in that same region that benefit from both a price increase in oil and from Iran being defanged.
yes but also one doesn't exclude the other
Sure, I'm just saying that there have been some major bribes like crypto laundering and a fucking jumbo plane, and what are the chances that this is what they bought..
None of the Gulf states are able to drill for oil, and even if they could they wouldn't be able to ship it out. Look at a map of where all the middle east oil fields are
Oh there is a reason. It's called Epstein files.
It is very clearly either to distract from them, or it is their contents being used as leverage to control America.
US Administration struggles to present coherent narrative on, anything.
No reason? Of course there was: distract from Trump being accused in the Trump-Epstein files.
Lies, lies, lies as innocent people die for USA to play its game! USA is a dead country and anyone failing to see that, has a big problem.
Make the counter argument. What if the US are competent and know what they are doing? Is that possible?
US are competent and know what they are doing?
That was actually true from ~80 years ago to ~50 years ago.
~80 years ago they handed their country to the MIC. What could the MIC have done better during the last 50 years?
Well, if you say it was them, then they would better have done nothing at all, because doing nothing is usually better than destroying everything.
They would have lost control over most part of the world. That could be better for most but for them it would be a loss.
Letting China become almost independent and not finding an agreement with Russia are questionable decisions. But they must see war as a viable option so it doesn't proof that the US are not competent.
Looking at some of the conservatives' views looks like it doesn't matter
Not a war, just another distraction.
bro I mean come onβ¦ we said weβre republican broβ¦
Because what's left of the American free press was speaking too much about the Epstein Files.
I wonder at which level of ridiculousness of this US administration that even the complete and utter regards that vote for it will realise that it is damaging their country quite seriously
Have we reached it yet? Attacking the judiciary? No? Ignoring laws? No? Deporting farm workers? No? Murdering people on the streets? No? A war for no reason, surely that suffices? No? When?
