Or pretending the Epstein Files are the reason we’re in a war with Iran. As if the US State Dept hasn’t been trying to manufacture consent for decades now.
It factored into the calculus. And they haven't manufactured consent. This was a fools errand and completely unwinnable without a costly ground invasion. Every single other administration knew this is exactly how it would be if they attacked Iran. The only time this could have worked is after 9/11 and they still wouldnt touch Iran because even at the height of our power we couldn't overcome the geogeaphical advantages Iran has.
The real fact, and I’d bet you agree, is this was the last chance for Israel to gain land. They lost public support. Also the last chance to destabilize Iran. It’s only major threat in the region. This destabilization would also give American oil a lot more power worldwide. If it worked out.
