MUSIC TO THE WAR MACHINE’S EARS: Trump Orders New Bombings After Saying U.S. “Must” Keep Fighting Iran
Globalist warhawks received a jolt of titillation on Tuesday when Donald Trump published this message on Truth Social. The post announced that Iran had allegedly shot down an American helicopter, and that the United States “must” respond to the assault.
The president’s decree opened the door to a complete revamp of Operation Epic Fury, which would hurt the U.S. economy, population, and military, but would greatly please Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump’s promised attack took place a few hours later, which CENTCOM described as “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.” It reportedly destroyed multiple Iranian water storage tanks, prompting the suspension of water distribution across Iran’s Bemani district. Over 13,000 people live there.
This saga perfectly embodies how the endless war game works. First, the U.S. starts a conflict with a country that posed no threat to America. Next, after that nation has the gall to respond, Washington insists that striking yet again is our moral obligation. Then the cycle repeats. None of this helps our country’s citizens. Perhaps that is the point.
