    Just remember that correlation is not causation. Yes, such things distract from the Epstein case and that’s a welcome effect for the US dictator. But he’s not thinking “hmm I really would like to have a distraction from that so that’s why I’ll just commit another war crime or atrocity so they’ll all be distracted”. He commits new atrocities anyway, and it just so happens that new atrocities automatically distract from older ones. He is causing way more problems than we are capable of mentally tracking.
