    Was the uranium just a false justification for punishing Iran’s economic independence?

    It didn’t even rise to that.

    Trump wanted a war - any war - in part because his ego is entirely focused on his legacy and he thinks that being a “wartime president” will be a good thing, and in part to dustract from the Epstein Files and the risk that he’d be exposed as a serial child rapist.

    He wanted that specific war because Bibi told him it’d be a cake walk - that he could just blow in like in Venezuela and take out the Ayatollah and the government would collapse, and then he could get Narges Mohammadi out of prison and she’d be so grateful she’d give him her Nobel medal, and then Trump would be the bestest President ever because he’d have two Nobels.

      he’d have two Nobels

      I wish the Nobel committee would change their rules to revoke Machado’s award. Neither she nor Trump deserve it.
