    I don’t like Trump or the war either but this is literally just propaganda. I trust Iran as much as I trust Trump. Not at all. Foreign authoritarians are not somehow more trustworthy than domestic ones. The phrase “the Epstein Network” is just an attempt to anchor this into domestic political controversies.

    Bluntly Trump doesn’t care about public opinion about this war enough to do this or the lead in to this war would have looked much more like Iraq

    This is so well played!

    Now Iran can attempt an attack almost openly on the US soil and many will believe it was an inside job. Well, that’s what happens when you have 0 credibility at home due to your compulsive need to say BS all the time.

                It’s your race if you think that is meant to be read literally.

                You however think brown people want to blow themselves up in the middle of crowds. Gullible idiot.

                Quote anything that I’ve ever said that even implies that.

                The US is bombing Iran, and so expecting Iran to attack US targets is not racist, it is an accurate description of the world where Iran is attacking US targets.

      Only that the Trumpets do have pretty plausible deniability if there is no clear and blatant evidence it’s a false flag, as nobody would believe the dumbasses in the US Admin were competent enough to pull off a successful false flag.

    …

    … The world has gone very wrong when this doesn’t even sound so unbelievable. I only see one issue:

    So far the US seems to have given up trying to make pretext for anything. Trump can do anything he wants and be worshipped for it.

      He’d do it if he wants to restart the draft for troops on the ground.

      That being said, I don’t think it would acrually work that well and could easily backfire within the US. At the very least he would need heavy congressional support.

    I find this claim I just read in a headline more credible than any of the claims released by the Epstein network because I feel like that’s pretty fucking obvious they’re either trying to provoke an attack or make a false flag look more believable.

    Just a friendly reminder that this happened a few weeks ago:

    European police agencies said on Friday that 22 people had been identified as being part of attacks involving a series of exploding parcels in ‌Europe in 2024, which the Russian military intelligence service was suspected of being behind…Explosions occurred in courier depots in Britain, Germany and Poland with security officials suggesting they were part of a test run for a Russian plot to trigger explosions on cargo flights to the United States.

    I honestly think this is part of the plan.

    If there’s a 9/11 style event before 2028, it will open the door for Donald to became a true dictator, and even better, the American people will line up behind him and support it. (As evidenced by Dubya getting reelected after all the dictator shit he did post-9/11.)

      not to put an extra tin foil on my tin foil hat.

      but now, given the US government, even if Iran did perpetrate a 9/11 style attack. I will assume it was a false flag attack by the US.

        It’s not tin foil hatty.

        Kash fucking Patel was told to gut the team at the FBI responsible for identifying and tracking threats originating from Iran right before we started shooting things at them. That’s as close to a false-flag setup as you can get without actually just doing it yourself.

          that’s why I have no doubt that any attack in the US will be done by the US.

          my point being, that by being that sloppy and untrustworthy, even is Iran did commit an attack, everyone will believe it was the US. not saying they will. just that the US government is fucked either way

            Honestly that might be something that could actually incite real rebellion by state governments and another civil war - the federal government carrying out a false flag so ham-handedly that it’s brutally fucking obvious that it’s a false flag.

                  like he cares. unless the military/police turns on him, he can quell any rebellion and keep the grift going.

                  tf do you think was the point of militarizing the police, turning ICE into the 4th largest military in America, and building massive concentration camps?

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
