U.S. military says all 6 airmen in refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq are dead

This is also entirely accurate, when you factor in that the nations benefiting are all (checks notes) loaded with names in the Epstein files.

"Axis of Epstein" - you win the internet today!

Tbf, having nukes is the safest thing you can do. Everyone that has them avoids these scenarios, everyone that gives them up (Ukraine, Libya...) gets obliterated by the war machine. Nothing has ever beaten nuke's safety record. And the only country that ever used them on civilians is the one doing the attacking. We crafted the perfect nuclear proliferation scenario. And our cabinet is stuffed full of armageddon christians that want a world ending event.

If anything, this conflict has proven to everyone in Iran who was *PRO-MILITARISM* that they were unequivocally correct. The US *will* see Iranians killed for any reason at all. Now hopes of disarmament are gone.

Also his mom and sister.

It’s like those bits that John Oliver does on his show where he shows the audience something, then a couple minutes later calls them out for not realizing that what he showed them on the screen was completely wrong. He’ll then show the audience the correct version but then, once again, a few minutes later he tells the audience that he tricked them again and berates everyone for not knowing their shit.

But Marge, it works on any Ayatollah! Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi…

Unfortunately this is fairly standard throughout history till after wars finish The modern excuse is it exposes too much operational intelligence to scrutiny

Depends on if you define "slavish subservience to the rich" as morals. They would.

Here's plenty of data showing they stand for nothing and have no beliefs: https://imgur.com/a/YZMyt#Vp1CV3l

I mean most of them are the same kind of people who think religion dictates morals and frequently use the argument “well if you don’t follow Christ what’s going to stop you from killing someone”… idk Jeb maybe the fact that I’m not a giant POS

It doesn't need to be. Their preachers are telling them how to vote. The Bible is a prop, not something they've ever read.

Yeah, nah. Lots of us shit on them for intentionally voting for the people that want to kill the VA.

By his own logic baby b**** trump would respect these soldiers less if they had survived. I miss shame and accountability in this country.

He was saying that about a deceased McCain at that.

MAGA voters will happily line up to die for a man that wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire. Well, maybe their kids.

We're even in this boat because his great-grandfather eluded military service in his homeland and ended up in NYC...

I don't think any of this is thought through that far in advance. Russia just happens to benefit from basically any disorder, considering all the rules and organization it takes to keep that situation controlled.

I think you’re giving him too much credit.

Stop using past tense. We have this dumb idea that it's a magic island and that's gone now. The pedophiles are still raping kids. They're still trafficking people. They just lost an island and one of the ring leaders. Trump is still trafficking people. Trump also runs ICE which is disappearing an unknown amount of people without due process and some level of assumption that they're non citizens. Trump started a war to avert eyes from his past and present criminal activities.

>I really think this is it. You really shouldn’t. Trump has been itching to start a conflict with Iran since his first term, he was just held back by competent staffers and even then they couldn’t stop him from bombing one of their generals they lured out with diplomatic talks. I think there are two questions people who say things are Epstein distractions need to ask themselves: Do you really think Trump’s actions are so uncharacteristic of him that they need to be motivated by the Epstein files? Did it really seem the Epstein files were that damaging to his administration? I personally think the answer to both is no, he’s always been like this and he won’t face any consequences for raping kids from the law or his supporters and he knows it.

Except there were no consequences incoming that were delayed or averted by this conflict. Everyone who cared, still cares. The Dems will never have the seats in the Senate to remove him. Republicans either don't care, or the ones who privately do will still largely (if not unanimously) keep their mouths shut. They will still vote in lockstep with their peers. Conservative voters who privately care will vote straight GOP in every election, and would, today, Epstein connections and all, still choose Trump over any Democrat. The electorate re-elected him with his Epstein ties already known.

The Vietnam war they talk about the 50k American soldiers but not the 250,000 dead South Vietnamese.

I was army so a bit different. I turned down my s*** to the school i needed for E-6 because I decided I was getting out. I had the points to guarantee my promotion when i completed the school. I loved my job too but just couldn't stay in when I knew my life meant less than a tweet. Plus the promotion would have required an additional year time in service so I gave it all up
