OK, 🍊 posts the real reason for war now [View all]

This is psychotic.

Trump posts on Truth Social that "Iran tried to interfere with elections in 2020 and 2024 to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with the United States."

End snip.

So, it's all about him, not some regal purpose like regime change, or freedomdemocracy, or boosting the opposition to the current government, or anything other than his revenge. The MEdia is busy looking for some glorious reason. There is none. Don't let them gaslight you.
