Nuclear weapons have absolutely nothing to do with Donnie Dementia's attack on Iran. This monumentally stupid action has other motivations. 1) Distract from Epstein. 2) Boost oil prices for his fossil fuel buddies. 3) Keep Netanyahu in power as justifications for continued genocide in Gaza fade. 4) Weaken a regional rival to blood soaked Saudi thug MBS. 5) Boost Donnie's fragile ego. Make him feel like a big shot macho man.
Yep. Add in that Saudis, UAE and Qatar expect something in return for the many billions they bestowed upon donny and his family. Also, this is part of a preface to take over our 2026 elections.
But if you google "bunker east wing construction" other references to work possibly being done to modernize or fortify the bunker will come up. I linked
the CNN one, because regardless of their sometimes bias, they are reputable as far as not spreading conspiracy theories/rumors.
✔️✔️✔️ As we know, with demented Donnie, it’s always about what’s in it for HIM. $$$$
Seize control of oil. Like Venezuela. And Trump branded seaside development in GAZA and elsewhere by trump organization which is why Witcoff and Kushner are there.
But with this attack on Iran, did demented Donnie bite off more than he can chew?
“All of the World’s Oil Reserves by Country, in One Visualization”
“The latest in a series of partnerships between the Trump Organization and Dar Global, the international arm of Saudi developer Dar Al Arkan, is expected to be completed over the next four to five years, said Eric Trump, U.S. President Donald Trump's son and executive vice president of the Trump Organization.”
Pretty sure it’s Project 2026 now, wherein, as gerrymandering lets those in power rearrange voting districts so they STAY in power, now it will be this corrupt national cabal choosing who gets to vote at all, anywhere.
Trump is declaring war as an excuse to claim the United States is under attack by foreign forces. It’s to be his grounds for taking over our elections. Don’t be fooled!
Well said- yep my first thought was to suppress Epstein focus about his pedophilia and Russian asset status and money laundering everywhere with Epstein and Maxwell’s father and likely even Israel, who knows? Now it is to quash elections and ultimate dictatorship. Even more killing will be undertaken one can bet. Hope your sons do not follow him to war just to enable his killing.
How about this reason for starting the war? He wants to take over the 26 elections and ban write in voting, make people produce birth certificates and passports in order to vote.
Also where are the 3 million unreleased Epstein files?
I agree. And I think Pete Hegseth falls into that category also. There’s a LOT of “playing” in this administration. I think they simply are such unserious people, the reality doesn’t fully register. All they think about is how cool our military weapons are and how powerful they appear bombing and blowing up people. Disgusting!
The US can bomb Iran quickly, but the country’s size (3–4x Iraq) raises deep concerns for civilians and a bloody revolution with internal chaos—potentially mirroring Ukraine’s prolonged attritional war; without an exit strategy, the conflict drags on indefinitely with Shahed production at hundreds/day (echoing Ukraine’s ~50,000 over 4 years), questioned attacks on USS Lincoln (requiring 1,000 missiles to succeed), and UAE airports hit by 541 drones/day with disruptions for Emirates and long-term risks.
Regarding potential successors to lead the country, there are no clear frontrunners among senior clerics, with former top candidates like Ebrahim Raisi deceased and Mojtaba Khamenei’s status uncertain after the bombing. Figures such as Alireza Arafi, Ali Larijani, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are seen as influential in the transition, but analysts argue that in practice, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) holds the dominant power, likely shaping or even effectively controlling the succession due to its military, economic, and political influence, especially amid ongoing conflicts and internal rivalries within the guard itself—further risking a Ukraine-like stalemate with no easy resolution.
Iran has a very deep bench of leaders in the IRGC. The next tier of leaders are likely already in place. The clerics will take a little longer. Judging from the target selections, plans were already distributed and missiles in place. Iran has enough drones to turn a city or two into another Kiev, and can build 500+ a month. This won't end quickly or cheaply. I agree with CFC above that a bloody stalemate is the likely result.
Trump & Co. have no end plan. All he's done is throw gasoline on the bonfire. The people aren't going to rise up. They just had a demonstration of what will happen to them. Pahlavi is a nonstarter. If he tried, he'd be dead in a week. A small minority want him, but the people remember the Shah and his brutal secret police, SAVAK.
Extinction burst. He's bent on taking us down with him. You and others have told us that he would do this. I believed you. It's still horrific facing the realness of it. I didn't think he'd be thoroughly surrounded by folks who would allow this to happen, for whom his extinction burst would serve their purposes.
100% I said in 2015 the white heteropatriarchy's extinction burst would be full of bullshit and death, but I underestimated how much. Probably because I expected a more robust mitigation response from the oppostion.
As long as the new "leaders" of Iran support western oil interests, Trump does not give a damn how they organize the country or who they support. Look at Venezuela. It's about the oil and how much Trump can profit personally from the deal.
Trump should, but won't, understand that, “There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.”
The Americans severely underestimated the Iranians and believed that opposition groups would help them overthrow the mullah regime.
They were wrong.
The opposition accounts for only about 6% of Iran’s population of 93 million.
Even before the Americans bombed Khamenei’s palace, the regime had already shut down the internet, mobile networks, and television broadcasts.
This morning, the Al Jazeera network reported that opposition members in Tehran were celebrating Khomeini’s death and dancing in the streets.
Later today, Al Jazeera aired footage showing the Revolutionary Guards surrounding opposition members, restraining them with zip ties, violently forcing them onto military trucks, and transporting them out of Tehran toward the vast salt desert, where the Revolutionary Guards’ notorious torture and execution prisons are said to be located in remote, uninhabited areas.
In other cities, Al Jazeera showed civilians brutally beating opposition members with sticks and pelting them with heavy stones until they stopped moving, blaming them for the American and Israeli bombings of Iran.
The situation is likely to plunge Iran into a period of extreme violence and vigilante-style reprisals.
My research indicates that Al Jazeera is jointly owned by the Emir of Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, which also supports Iran and its proxies, including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Al-Quds militias, the Houthi rebels, and various smaller affiliated groups.
For that reason, Al Jazeera is reportedly the only television network in the region currently able to move freely within Iran and report from the ground.
Undiagnosed, untreated mental illness can lead to serious consequences. It can kill innocent people, like the 85 school children in Iran. No wonder people in other countries hate us. Thank you Mary for your leadership, hard work.
Every time something like this happens, so many of us wonder how much worse he can get, what fresh horror he can dream up. We’ve learned that when it seems like it can’t get worse, it will. But at SOME point, it has to implode. Right?

Cynical? Perhaps. Prove me wrong.

they will probably be next. I have to look on the map if they are in that land grab, too.
Nevertheless, tracking and pointing out the contradictions is useful, especially in a high messaging, flood the zone environment.
6) Exact retribution for revealed failed assassination plots by Iran against trump. It's nothing if not personal when it comes to trump.
7) The fortification and redesign of trump's bunker under the east wing of the White House is now complete.
You may be correct a new, deeper and better fortified bunker is finished. Is there proof of this?
The CNN article on this is behind a paywall:
"Inside plans to rebuild the 'top secret' bunker beneath the White House east wing" (1/19/26)
https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/19/politics/east-wing-secret-bunker-construction-details

You’ve hit the nail on the head! No parent wants to send their child to die for those reasons!
6) give Israel the land they want - all the way to Euphrates.

Choosing war without thinking it through is like setting fire to the barn and hoping it stays contained.
He thinks nothing through. Vought does though. What does Project 2025 say is next.
Pretty sure it’s Project 2026 now, wherein, as gerrymandering lets those in power rearrange voting districts so they STAY in power, now it will be this corrupt national cabal choosing who gets to vote at all, anywhere.
Great question! Enquiring minds want to know!

I think demented Donny thinks in his childlike mind that war will be fun for him and he gets to play Commander in Chief . Heaven help us.

So true. Throw in Kristi Noem under the cosplaying kids category, complete with silly costumes.
It most always seems to be little minded boys still playing at war.

Brilliant closing paragraph, Mary…I wish people had listened to you in the first place and we could have avoided all his depredations.

tRump has demonstrated again and again why we cannot trust him to restrain his destructive impulsive impulses and reckless destructive tendencies.
Overheard at the Offal Office, late February:
trump: We need a new Distraction. A Bigly one.
Lutnick: Damn Clintons. Epstein furor continues.
Hegseth: Epstein! DRINK!
Deputy Sect'y of War, Steve Feinberg: That's it! Operation Epic Fury!
Hegseth: gulp....Daddy, can we bomb Iran now?
trump: Now that we Have a Genius operation name, yes! I have
the best Words!
Undiagnosed, untreated mental illness can lead to serious consequences. It can kill innocent people, like the 85 school children in Iran. No wonder people in other countries hate us. Thank you Mary for your leadership, hard work.
Distraction from the Epstein scandal…
Every time something like this happens, so many of us wonder how much worse he can get, what fresh horror he can dream up. We’ve learned that when it seems like it can’t get worse, it will. But at SOME point, it has to implode. Right?
Hopefully.
My train of thought exactly…
The deranged disaster. The grieving citizens have to pick up the pieces.
