Griffin added more details to her initial post, writing, “A senior US official tells me that it was a US military strike on Iran’s Qeshm port and Bandar Abbas moments ago but added this is NOT a restarting of the war or end to the ceasefire.”

      Toddler logic:

      Ceasefire means you stop, I can still do what I want.

      People forget trump has always wanted a forever war to cancel elections.

      He doesn’t want to permanently fix anything, he wants it ready to blow as an excuse to cancel an election.

      Don’t forget Bibi has canceled like 4 consecutive Israeli elections, it’s his bread and butter and he’s running this show.

      The war won’t end while trump is in office.

        I know Bibi is running the country lika a dictator, but has he really cancelled any elections? As far as I can tell, since 2000 there have been Knesset elections 2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 (again), 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the next one expected in October this year.

        Doesn’t sound like there have been any cancellations, considering the members serve four-year terms, however, there have been plenty of early elections.

        Can you clarify what you meant by him having cancelled Israeli elections?

        I expect a false flag attack, blamed on Iran, to happen right before the midterms

        He’s also likely hit the Alzheimer’s stage of his life. Combine his general impulsivity with the characteristic impulsivity of Alzheimer’s. Now add in his likely cluster B personality disorder. Anything can happen at any time.

        Reason may not be involved at all.

          apparently because Americans seem OK to bring the world to ruin before attempting to organize a general strike or protest on a week day

            I would pay so much money to watch a PPV fight between any UFC fighter and everyone in Trump’s cabinet. Starting with the president and VP, of course.
