      Are you saying that what has the potential to be the largest war since world war II is just a distraction from a bunch of documents that could eventually get someone convicted, even though most likely they have the power of not being convicted regardless?

      I’m sure there are better ways to distract people.

        It’s hard for people to conceive how monumentally stupid Donald Trump really is.

        I think of it this way. He could have extorted $50 billion out of the Saudis on Inauguration Day 2017. Instead he figured that he could sell his fans NFTs.

        It’s completely on brand for him to start a war

        Why would you deny it is a better question

        Edit: I made a mistake by responding to this trumpist troll.

          Only Americans give any serious importance to the Epstein files. I don’t know if this was the case, but I’m pretty indifferent. This war is a way larger problem than the Epstein files.

          If this war is actually the result of someone wanting to take attention away from the Epstein files, then it may be better off for everyone to stop thinking about the Epstein files and prevent this kind of stuff from happening again.

            There’s a lot of jaw dropping shit you just wrote but the only thing worth the time to mention is that, obviously, trump is the one who started the war, so it’s kind of up to his reasoning why. It is beyond clear he did this to distract from his pedophilia. People had been saying for weeks he would do it because the files were looking worse for him all the time.

            Again I ask why do you deny this.

              I don’t deny anything.

              It is beyond clear he did this to distract from his pedophilia.

              It is not beyond clear to me. It feels like a huge oversimplified explanation of the causes of what could be a huge conflict. The war was started by both the US and Israel, not by Donald Trump alone.

              Did Trump get into this war just to take attention off the Epstein files? It is possible, but I doubt it is the main reason.

                I was wrong to reply here. Because given that you wrote that, you give trump more credit than a person who can be conversed with would. 👋

                  To talk with someone you need them to be convinced Trump is stupid? We are talking about the president of the United States, no matter how stupid he may be I’m sure he’s got plenty of advisors. The military had to have a plan for this.

                    They’ve literally admitted they didn’t plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, what the fuck are you on about

                    Your statement implies that trump has ever had a non-self-interested reason for doing anything. Someone who believes that cannot be reasoned with. It seems like you’ve been asleep for 10 years.
