Nothing like a potential major regional Middle East War to push Trumpy Thee Traitor's Trial off the front pages.

Not to mention, IF shit really hits the fan, how potentially sustained 8, 10 dollar a gallon (or higher) petrol prices in the US will effect the 2024 election.



Fucking Netanyahu shivving Biden in the back with a broadsword. That motherfucker Bibi has been trying to spin up a war with Iran (with the US as the war hammer) for ages.

2. Makes no difference to a jury

Luckily

3. Somehow the repugs will blame this attack

and whatever evolves from it on Biden and the Democrats. They're already howling about Joe's one-word "Don't" warning to Iran.

Just imagine Shitler as President when something like this happens.

[Beastly Boy]

4. Iran just launched an aerial attack on Israel, targeting multiple, likely civilian objects in Israel.

What better time to deflect from Iran's decades-long imperial ambitions to destabilize the entire Middle East region which have precious little to do with Trump's trial itself, and lament about Netanyahu pushing Trump off the front pages in the US media?

It would be fair to argue that, front-page media coverage of Trump's trial being likely to trigger all sorts of right-wing conspiracy theories and Trump's own abuses of the whole media ecosystem, having the trial moved to the second page for a while would bring some welcome relief to due process of law. I doubt that Netanyahu came up with with THAT brilliant plan.

Not that Netanyahu is not a backstabbing motherfucker (a rather general and not quite controversial observation), but sometimes, to mangle metaphors and Freud in one fell swoop, a cigar is just a cigar, and a drone attack is just a drone attack.

5. Every major military analyst (including Gens. James Stavridis, Barry McCaffrey etc) I've seen tonight has said Netanyahu

deliberately provoked Iran via this:

Israeli strike on Iran’s consulate in Syria killed 2 generals and 5 other officers, Iran says

6. Did any of them say anything about bringing up Trump's trial to deflect from Irans decades long imperial ambitions?

Because this is what I addressed in my post.

To tell you the truth, I would be very interested in their expert opinions on the latter subject.

7. when I wrote this OP there was no confirmed Iran attack that I had seen, I was only speculating about what could happen

Did any of them say anything about bringing up Trump's trial to deflect from Irans decades long imperial ambitions?

That was all me, they did not mention the trial at all.

8. For what it's worth

I knew what you meant. It's certainly curious timing and worth noting.

9. Iran's imperial ambitions were evident long before Iran's attack, or

Israel's bombing of the embassy, or the opinions expressed by the experts you are referring to.



My comment about them is separate and aside from the attack. If you remove all mention of them, I still see no relevance in mentioning Trump's trial or Netanyahu in the context of Iran's imperial ambitions.

BTW, congrats on Post 43,000!
