I'd love your thoughts on this....

It is a holy war started at the instigation of the religious minorities both in the US and Israel who are interested in the recreation of the biblical Greater Israel to take over the Middle East. Iran was the only deterring factor left. And getting control over its oil is a huge bonus for the empire strikes first and often.

As Muslims this isn’t entirely true , that battle will not happen until the whole entire world feels it , we still have parts of the world including America who just goes about it’s day like nothing is happening. This war and previous wars on the Middle East is paving the way for the coming of Dijaal . Then the war begins . To get the bigger picture the gospel has to be read through the Islamic text . The Bible is just a quarter of the bigger picture . But yes we are getting close but not until the whole entire world feels it through war , famine, unstoppable death every where, the Euphrates river death trap, the literal fall of the west , the collapse of the entire East etc …. The order is progressing…

We’ve gone completely around the twist, here and a civil war is brewing.

Well said and agreed Shaun. And how many more will perish fighting a war instigated by the genocidal occupiers? I think the name you gave the war is more apt and accurate than Iranian war, as that country did not start this slaughter

I can't understand why 70% of people who vote for Republicans support this undeclared war. They are genuinely brainwashed by the MSM, which we know is owned by the oligarchs who are the only ones who will benefit from this carnage in the entire Middle East region. I believe the young people are beginning to see beyond the thick veil of lies, but I don't know how effective their voice will be. We must keep hope alive and continue to expose the liars.

Let's keep calling this the Israeli Conflict--an assault on its neighbors and the environment, funded by the people of the US, fought by the underclass, for the benefit of the top 1%.

They support anything Trump says to support. No matter what he said last month. If he said to hate war last month, they hated it last month. If he says to love it this month, they love it.

America's colony colonized America.

I totally agree with you in that US soldiers are not dying defending America , they are dying defending the state of Israel. The question to me is why does Israel holds so much power over the USA? Or? Does Netanyahu holds so much power over the SB POS POTUS of America?

We can assume that Epstein was an asset of the state of Israel and that can or maybe is the reason why Netanyahu has so much power over this president. Those two people are some of the worst kind of human beings, one of them can be blackmailing the other. What this president is doing goes way over what other presidents have done for Israel.

The SB POS POTUS of America is waging wars like a maniac so nobody can say he is only fighting for his buddy Netanyahu.

This is a fever dream of wealthy powerful men who clearly cannot contain their lusts. Religion is a tool for them. The fearful follow. I am sickened to see my country perpetuate the desires of the powerful, but not surprised. What we are learning from the Epstein files shows us how little these men love anything but themselves. Israeli and American leaders are using each other as well. I would be surprised to learn that any of them are true friends. This is business by murder.

God save us. How can he send these soldiers to die and how can he approve a war of aggression to kill innocents? Hands drenched in blood. Somehow he can still be in power. Somehow it will not rock him in the way he'd be rocked if Epstein horrors were released.

It is Israel's war indeed. They may tell religious tales for Christian Zionists or whomever who'd buy them. It really is Israel's war and Operation Epstein fury. Trump felt his hands were tied (though ultimately whatever horror crime he is being blackmailed with, being willing to kill many children and others to cover it up is beyond disgusting)

Simply tragic and unnecessary deaths. Perhaps a few of these families will bring legal suit against Trump (?) as it is the ONLY thing he understands.

Shaun, I tried to share this on facebook twice. My screen went black both times. We can’t share your stuff there anymore??😳

America's emnity towards the Iranians desire for independence predates its full bodied embrace of the Jewish State In Palestine's terrorists. There's a lot of denialism in the people blaming the Israeli regime for America's racism that predated the Colonies Independence movement. What I'm PREDICTING is a full blown swing back to the antisemitic tropes that were EXTREMELY popular in America before it reluctantly joined the war against the Short Austrian when this particular war blows up in America's face.

These soldiers are dying because of the temporary resonance between two groups of racists, one Christian the other Jewish.

Indeed Richard.

Zeteo published an article today that mentions this point: " In other words, restrictions on speech critical of Israel lend unwarranted legitimacy to antisemitic ideologies. For the sake of both democracy and Jewish safety worldwide, it is therefore essential to allow citizens to freely criticize Israel without fear or sanction."
