Iran in Vain: Rooting for the “Bad Guy” is No Vice When Your Guy is Worse

If you have no earthly idea what in the hot fuck is going on with the Iran War right now, then you are probably paying attention because the Trump Administration and the mainstream news appear to be equally clueless. In fact, their behavior seems downright bipolar from a proper distance. For weeks now, since Trump and the Mullahs kind-of-sort-of-not-really put their hostilities on hold with a temporary ceasefire, everything has been stuck in an endless loop of negotiation, escalation, negotiation, escalation…

Every Monday, Donald Trump announces an impending genocide of biblical proportions, and every Tuesday, he backs down at the last minute while reminding us that doomsday could still come at any given second, but a big, beautiful peace deal is also really, really fucking close.

The mainstream news mostly just seems to take all this diplomatic madness at face value while reminding us how impossibly complicated diplomacy is and that only their Washington-trained experts can lead us through it. The only problem with that explanation is that all their think tank wonks seem to be chasing Donald from one flip-flop to the next like small-town weathermen covering big-town storms.

So, just what in the fuck is really going on here? My speculative populist analysis is that Donald Trump got blackmailed into a war that he was also fooled into believing he could just pull out of at the last minute, like his last few war crimes, and it was likely his cherished allies in Israel who set him up.

Even if we are to simply ignore the recently aired Epstein Files confirming that the feds believed Trump to be “compromised by Israel” as early as 2016 and that Epstein himself was a Mossad agent, the Zionist sock puppets within Trump’s own regime have essentially confirmed that Netanyahu put them up to this.

Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson confirmed before retracting that Israel had brazenly informed the Trump Administration that they were attacking Iran with or without us, which can only be seen as an act of geopolitical extortion when you consider the thousands of US troops stationed between the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea........
