    Y’all need to get a grip and understand attacking Iran has been in the plan for Israel for 50 years. This isn’t a distraction it’s literally a part of the plan.

        Israel and America are the same entity, Israel doesn’t do anything without America’s go ahead. Yes it’s been in the plan for Israel but it’s also what America wants. Remember why they overthrew the Iranian government in the first place that lead to this.

        I feel like it’s geopolitics first, Epstein or not the US elite wants this because Iran questions their hegemony

    Once again, Geneva’s normally decent political instincts end up running the wrong way, and is why Geneva should read anti-imperialist theory if Geneva wants to understand how the world works. Attacking Iran is a bipartisan project decades in the making. Trump does not need a distraction from the Epstein files, this was always intended to happen, and by shifting the blame to trying to distract from the Epstein files you miss how this is advancing very rational imperialist goals of eradicating any resistance to western plundering in the middle East.

    I hate the argument of “just read theory!” As much as I believe one should read theory, just telling people to do so won’t make it happen. However, there are clear limits to political instincts without solid backing in political theory and this is a prime example of it.

    Americans famously have goldfish memory when it comes to any kind of political events, so in a sense any event is a distraction from the previous event for them.

    Until now, anyways. Release the Epstein files and arrest those involved in the rapes of girls.

    Sorta kinda convinced Bibi has him by the balls a bit, and they would’ve released some “spicier” files had he not made the move against Iran (at least some Israeli newspapers point in that direction). So, this is not just to calm things at home regarding the existing files but also a move that prevents further revelations, at least for the time being.
