An excellent suggestion was made to concentrate Iran conversation and posting to this mega thread. Please keep as much as you can here so that the main feed isn’t overburdened by Iran news.
Megathreads are kinda meh tbh.
It causes new info to be buried and not seen on the front page, and a lot of the discussion also goes unseen due to the high number of comments.
Lemmy isnt so active and big that we need to hide things in megathreads.
It’s nice to get updates on events as they happen this way
Trump said that this is going to last about four weeks. So he’s really going with “this will all be over by Easter” again like he did with Covid during his first term?
Its part of the plan to rig the elections in November for sure
Is there anyone that can help an out of the loop fellow such as myself? I know of the war but I have no idea how and why it started. I thought Israel was all over palestine as of late. And now everyone in the area and the USA are involved?
Some guy who regularly shits his pants raped kids with a guy that worked for mossad. He and/or mossad had that guy murdered a couple years ago. People started asking too many uncomfortable questions recently so this was the best course of action.
Trump is desperate to keep the Epstein files out of the spot light so he is doing anything to keep attention elsewhere. As soon as the Winter Olympics stopped distracting people, the orange pedophile launch the USA into war.
On the other part, Netanyahu needs to keep Israel in war so his own corruption trials do not catch up to him… with Palestine
raisedrazed to the ground, Iran is the next target*razed
thank you
From my perspective, it seems like Israel knows what they have with Trump; a willing patsy who will enact their agenda, as long as they stroke his ego. So you have US-Iran talks making some level of headway, then Netanyahu whispering in his ear about how this makes him look week on terror, goading the US into action. And because Trump is Trump, he’s going to do what he thinks makes him look good and earns him and his billionaire friends money, which is wartime. So while the war itself seems pretty unpopular domestically across most political spectrum, this allows him to fulfill his own vain purposes by Israel continuing to stroke his ego, he gets to feel like the big heroic man he wishes he was by saving the world in his mind, and his echo chamber cabinet won’t go against him, so everyone says this is the right thing to do.
And then also what everyone else says; this distracts from Epstein Files, this is part of his lead-in to trying to take over the midterms and reduce election viability through restricting mail in and electronic voting (were gonna have 2 million people vote in a single precinct in New York, LA, Chicago, etc) while rural red districts breeze on through? It’s all a ploy to keep GOP in power. It’s the most thinly veiled coup ever, and half the nation is eating it up simply because it’s “their guy”.
Also, the GOP is aging out. The Boomers are thinning. The Silent Generation is all but gone. The skeletons are coming out of the closet all the way up to the Supreme Court.
Information moves too quickly now. They can’t keep the cat in the bag anymore. That’s why they’re snapping up ownership of all the news networks and social media platforms or forcing them to spy on us and figure out who we are. AI can do weeks of research in hours and doesn’t get fatigued by massive releases of documents and every average person can wield it to see for themselves.
Israel is no longer the darling ally in latest polls. And we have no real Big Bad. When they try to manufacture one, we see right through the malarkey.
They know they’re probably done, and maybe forever if they lose this time. Goodbye cushy lifestyles and jobs, and their generational wealth. And of course they will have to answer for all their evil deeds if they are forced to relinquish power to a party that is currently getting lambasted for being do-nothing, hand wavy, arrogant, status-quo keeping corporate shill sellouts.

I’m guessing nukes.
Breaking the nuclear taboo on a country that’s exhausted its ability to fight back seems like it would be buried somewhere in the Project 2025 fine print.
I mean, that’s exactly what we did last time!
Shits fucked, yo.
kinda sad a megathread is only 193 votes after over 21 hours. Has Lemmy just lost users in the last year or something? Is this place even growing at all?
I, for one, am not on Lemmy to vote on stuff. I’m hear to read actual people’s opinions.
