This is why either/or thinking is bad

He nukes Iran just after it is discovered that musk rigged the elections.

I don't really believe in this idea that the government does things to turn public eyes away from something, but this president is. dumb enough to do that because he believes that is what has always happened.

Most people have the capacity to think of more than one situation at a time, even if the media won't.

Let's not forget, Musk rigged the election. The bombing of Iran is massively bad, but so is rigging the democratic system of voting.

Trump is a lot of perjoratives. Yet this doesn't make any sense.

If you listen to his generals we are wasting our munitions on defending Israel.

Everything Israel uses in defense we supply them.

There is more going on here than what is obvious.

Trump not the smartest cookie. And he has done a lot of dumb things. Yet this bombing being a distraction just isn't one of them. This will end up costing more than such a distraction is worth by billions of times over.

We used six of our MOABs alone! And 20 cost $314 million in development plus another $170 to produce each.

So this raid cost $1.02 billion just on MOABs! That's not counting what we give to Israel for it's defense.

@DeWayfarer I agree. The "Distraction Theory" doesn't hold up in this case. Neither does supply Israel with weapons while we are forcing Americans to suffer even more.

I don't know the real reason we bombed Iran, though I suspect control of oil reserves is a part of it, but I truly don't know.

A MOAB (Massive Ordnance Air Blast) costs about $170,000 to produce. However, the total development cost for the program is estimated to be around $314 million for approximately 20 bombs.

The six MOABs was reported on NHK!

MOABs are the only thing that could get deep enough anyway without a nuclear blast.
