Current International Headlines: War on Iran

[ultimamax]

So what is it that the US gains from this? I haven't been able to figure it out.

I think it's some combo of Annoying Orange's cabinet all being Holden Bloodfeasts who just want to nuke Iran before they die because they worship violence and death, a distraction from the Epstein files, and possibly some kind of blackmail by Israel against Annoying Orange

It also seems like their egos got super inflated by how 'clean' the kidnapping of Maduro was. Some of them seem to think there is a world where Iran fully capitulates within a few weeks, and there's never boots on the ground in Iran, just because the leadership is dead. That doesn't seem likely to me atm but it's way too early to tell still.

There's a christian prophesy regarding the endtimes which says the Rapture can't happen until "the jews are in control of their homeland." My crackpot theory is that some of these guys are senile enough that they are earnestly trying to bring about the apocalypse. They believe they need to in order to get into Heaven, maybe as an attempt at penance for all the child love. It's apparent in their total lack of awareness that the future exists and worship of the state of israel.

So Iran doesn't leak what Annoying Orange did on Epstein island

If Iran had that they would have leaked it already.

Yeah American evangelicalism is an apocalyptic death cult.

[King Tøny]

How do you know it's not leaked

[Ladios]

US Military begins operations in Ecuador.

Iran struck a US CIA base in Dubai.

Annoying Orange says we have unlimited ammunition and can keep fighting forever.

Democrats of course are being loving useless and saying things like "we're perfectly fine with our taxpayer's dollars going into bombing elementary schools, but he really should have asked first.

MLD of course pointed out the loving lunatic apocalyptic accelerationists.

There's more threads though about how people in the US are personally benefiting from this conflict, including the 3 polymarket accounts that predicted the day before the invasion that the US was about to attack and made several millions, with of course Don Jr. on the board of this supposedly legal betting company, and how this conflict allows Larry Elison of Oracle to cement in his government contracts to install AI surveillance to monitor American's behaviours and find potential dissidents. But that is a more specific deep dive I think will probably need to go in the Hunger Games thread instead.

I want to know more about the jerky in epstein's freezer.

So an actual, decorated veteran, had his arm broken in a door after protesting against the war and being forcibly shoved out as if he had a bomb strapped to him

Not to be that guy, but infinite war is literally one of the key components of the regime in 1984. A huge portion of the book is dedicated to explaining how fascists maintain control by making sure there is always an engine of war going. Like I'm sick to death of hearing about 1984 all the time but he's really not beating the allegations by bluntly announcing his plans to steal ideas from it.

Never take your meds, your delusions are 100% correct

[Ladios]

I guess. But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die.

[Masterlegodude]

"Some of you may die"

Apparently McGinnis actually spoke on twitter about his plan to interrupt the hearing with his message prior to it happening, and had this to say afterwards

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

He is currently running for NC senate for the Green Party with a campaign powered by the people, not the government

[Dr.Block]

Breaking the dude's arm has made him a hero and a serious political opponent. Pretty dumb-assed move I must say. Once again the only thing saving us from the depths is that the evil doers absolutely loving blow at it.

You know we going to ww3 because the celebrities and other elites and world leaders don't want to be charged for child love crimes
