Why isn’t Trump’s bombardment of Iran called Operation Epic Distraction?

While I have no love for Trump or his decision to bomb Iran, it's an oversimplification to say it's just to distract from the Epstein files. That also kind of lets the U.S. off the hook for wanting war with Iran since 1979, essentially. I'm sure Trump likes that the Epstein files aren't the top news story right now, but this is about far more than just that. This is about Israel and the U.S. wanting to eliminate an adversary by force, as they've wanted to for a long time. For all Trump's promises to be the "peace president" (JD literally said Trump would not start a war with Iran during the campaign), ultimately the U.S. and Israel can't stop projecting power; it's how they exist. In other words, this still would've happened even without the Epstein files.

I would say the media wants to create the distraction. Putting Trumps face to that topic makes zero sense. The politicians just let it happen for the greater good. The real question is who’s determining what the greater good is? Or if it’s even good? Takes some critical thinking here. Deep reflection, where was your voice when the files weren’t released years ago. Where is your voice now on mask mandates? How quickly we forgot about that and just let that go. See how that works 🐑.

What a goof 😄

Epstein files show Trump not involved in his illicit activities. Even Bill Clinton exonerated him. Lots of democrats though.

Economy on track, inflation controlled

Midterms trending right.

I cannot agree that bombing a country is an epic distraction from the crap he's doing here in the states.

Trump most likely feels since much of the world is likes Iran he can do what he wants without repercussions of any sort. Since Iran is the third or fourth largest oil producers, and oil means money and Trump loves money and power, Trump wants his hand in control of that oil like he's done in Venezuela.

I didn't hear you crying when slick willie started Monica's War

Operation epstien distraction is what I call it.

To me its perfect that American leadership realizes subconsciously that they need these vitriolic propaganda names to cover the stink of what they are in fact doing. If they can simply give a hurricane a persons name, they could do the same with military operations. It was good enough in WW2 with Operation Overlord and Market garden..😷

Because "Epic Fury" has the same initials as "Epstein Files." 😝

Because that's not what it is! You should be able to see that!

The UK doesn't have room to talk because Starmer has signed off on this too.

Too on the nose. Of course, Epic Fury isn’t much better, considering all the things he’s actually mad about 🤷‍♂

Because Americans don't mind ending the world since we, the world, didn't surrender well enough. We tried? But you're still FURIOUS. You're only ever FURIOUS. We'll all be killed, probably. Sorry we didn't submit well enough! But that's over and everyone, everyone, but USA Israel won't rest with you ever again. Not with you here.
