The US has recommenced its bombing of Iran — less than a week after Trump’s ‘justice’ department (DOJ) blocked a court-ordered release of further Epstein files.

Epstein revelations, or Trump’s attempts to avoid them, have been so synchronised with the US-Israel war on Iran that it has been dubbed “Operation Epstein Distraction”. The attacks breach the US’s commitments under its ‘Memorandum of Understanding‘ with Iran.

    So are we to believe the Iraq war was also a distraction from the Epstein files? What about Afghanistan or Libya?

    I hate to break it to people, but US imperialism predates the Epstein files by a pretty significant margin. This shit isn’t new.

      Using war or aggression to distract people is not new. That doesn’t necessarily mean that these two things are not linked. The ruling class will keep going to the same slop tough as long as the hogs eat it.

    The war with Iran is far more threatening to Trump’s security than Epstein ever was. Nobody is going to punish Trumo for Epstein, but if the US runs out of gas, he’s in deep shit.

    If he’s more concerned about public image, the huge “kill trump” banners in Iran probably concern him a lot more than liberal handwringing
