There's little reason to believe this wouldn't have come to a head even if the Epstein files weren't in the news, or even if Harris had won the presidency. The fact remains that Trump is the one who explicitly campaigned on the promise of not doing this or things like this. And the anti-woke crowd--who stupidly believed the Democrats were "woke"--equally stupidly believed him.

Imagine if there was a terror attack on US soil, Trump would get his excuse for a national emergency, midterms cancelled, think about that?

Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on February 28, 2026, 01:38:43 PMThis has been in the pipeline for years: minimizing it to distraction ain't, imo, analytically useful.

First casualty reports are up to 40 girls killed in a strike on a school. First war crime of an already legally-defined criminal war.

50 confirmed dead in that strike.

And they'll be in with the "human shield " bullshit narrative.

All making a small fortune on poly market too while they're at it.

Is this a suggestion that's going round? That Trump is attacking Iran in the hopes of provoking such a terror attack on US soil for those reasons? I don't personally buy it as a primary motivating factor.


Operation Epic Fury they're calling it. Fucking hell. Remember video games used to borrow real mission names; now real mission games are borrowing gamer speak  :eyeroll:

We're in unknown territory I think, Trump doesn't give 2 fucks about Iran, its just another "shithole" country to him, its all about self preservation....his

He also cares about his own glory. He seems convinced he's stopped 7, 8 or 11 wars already. He's probably convinced he can topple a regime and have it go well too. Plus, the likes of Hegseth do care, zealously, about things like importing the Crusades into modern times.

A codename like Epic Fury has Hegseth all over it. Absolute fucking loser.

Why? Everything is bollix nowadays. The advent of AI ensures that.. I won't be paying much attention in anyways...

Although I'm no fan of Iran I'm pleased to see that they aren't rolling over easily to let Donnie have his way, he doesn't give 2 fucks about Iran or its people its all about his ego and covering his own ass
