Trump doesn't give a fiddler's fedora about Iran's crisis...it just gives him an opening to make a huge and horrific mistake if he attacks Iran. Mark my words. I'm talking decades of consequences...actually deserved, if I may be so bold.

Iran has one of the biggest oil reserves on the planet..No 3 if I remember right. Venezuela has one of the biggest reserves as well. Who else on the planet needs oil now because of his evil war in Ukraine? Putin....Putin has also had tankers messing around Venezuela. We got " reports" that they were sent away.. news vanished. NOW...What can all of these " coincidental" factors possibly have to do with DJT you ask? šŸ˜

Bingo! Trump uses the "repeated lie" misdirection tactic, and it's the only tool he uses. Repeat a lie over and over until everyone gives it credibility and believes it. In psychology it's called the "mere exposure effect." There were no "drug boats" by "Venezuela." There were no "Russian and Chinese ships" by "Greenland." And this isn't about "nuclear bombs" in "Iran." Oil, oil and minerals, and oil is the answer to all three. He's resource gathering.

To Substackers writing articles about Trump's lies... you're only helping to lend him more credibility. We need to call out the lie and focus on the truth.

Since weekend of Jan 3- Maduros capture- (conveniently?) right before Congress was due back on the hill on Jan 5, a Monday, and were planning to address contempt and accountability for the Epstein files not coming out on the deadline of Dec 19; but that sort of got pushed back bc of the sudden shock of Maduro’s capture- that made headlines for days. Then came Greenland. Davos. Meanwhile all this was going on, icy was escalating in MN…. First w Renee and then Pretti- and got caught in lies - so they’re drawing back while we advance towards Iran and invade Georgia w subpoenas of their election data. January isn’t over for another 2 days. It’s been pure chaos since we started the new year. I personally think they are hard at work (with our taxpayer dollars to boot) creating chaos and distractions to impede those files. Whew 😰 I’m exhausted but I’m paying attention. Using my voice. Bugging my senators and reps. I don’t know what more I can do.

So, just to make sure that I have this supposed theater correctly, shit for brains is going to bomb Iran because they are killing protesters. What a crock of shit and hypocritical madness. Of course he is doing this for different reasons, we just may not know what. Israel??

In my mere civilian opinion I don't think he gives a flippin' fook about protesters anywhere...least of all...HERE....But if he can sink his voraciously greedy maw into another oil reserve for himself and Pooty...now THAT'S another story....

To show his maga base how ā€œstrong and powerfulā€ he is and they’ll see it as a ā€œwinā€ bc shit for brains is taking action. They don’t think critically like we are doing.

Thank you for this article; it eloquently put into concrete words my swirling thoughts about this. I had already wondered ā€œWhat does doing this solveā€?? How does it help the actual Iranians?
