As an American, I would like to think well of my country. But thanks to Donald Trump, we are now wondering if 175 Iranian schoolgirls were slaughtered by Jews as a Purim blood sacrifice to Yahweh — or slaughtered by an Affirmative Action-American as a sacrifice to Moloch or maybe Caliban. As an American taxpayer, I would like my government not to make me culpable in war crimes. But America is not ruled by and for Americans.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House, he faced strong political opposition and had a limited window of opportunity to fix America’s problems, the biggest of which are non-white immigration and anti-white discrimination. If Trump had been serious, sincere, and smart, he would have set up the State Department with the equivalent of an “Out of Office” Auto Reply and basically ignored foreign affairs. He could have maintained peace simply by being polite and predictable. He could have increased deterrence simply by purging the military of anti-whiteness. He could have focused on the border and deportations, which would have raised wages and lowered rents, traffic, and crime for his electorate. He could have battled the courts and Congress to give his reforms the force of law. Then maybe, just maybe, his party would have done well in the midterms and given him two more years with even greater freedom to fix things.

Sadly, Trump had other priorities.
We are now seven days into Trump’s three-day Special Military Operation in Iran, and the dust of the bomb sites and smoke of burning refineries is nothing compared to the fog of lies and confusion coming out of the White House.
The New York Times offers a very plausible story of how this war got started: Israel wanted it, and nobody in Washington felt comfortable saying “no,” which for the Ancient Greeks was the mark of a slave. Since the Times is systematically biased toward Israel and Jewish interests more broadly, I find this plausible because it is, in effect, an admission against interest. Marco Rubio stated that the US was dragged into the war by Israel. Trump, however, has contradicted this, saying he was the one who dragged Israel in.
But what is the goal of this war? Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear weapons program was destroyed, both shortly after the 2025 Twelve Day War and then again at the 2026 State of the Union speech. This year, we were told that Iran posed an imminent threat. In fact, we were told several times since 1995 that Iran is weeks or days away from a nuclear bomb. But the US congress was told that there was no imminent threat. In fact, there is no credible evidence that Iran has had a nuclear weapons program for more than 20 years. And no, nothing Israel says should be trusted.
Is the goal to destroy a non-existent weapons program, or to change the Iranian regime? We were told that this is not a regime change war, but Trump killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials at the start of the war. Shockingly, this “Plucky Tomboy Kills King of the White Walkers and Instantly Destroys his Zombie Army” strategy did not work with Iran.
Time and again, Trump has urged the Iranian populace to overthrow the regime. Shockingly, very few Iranians wish to side with invaders who massacre schoolchildren to protest the Ayatollahs’ . . . dress codes.
Pete Hegseth boyishly stated in a Pentagon press conference: “This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change and the world is better off for it.”
Trump has also stated that he personally wants a say in who the next leader of Iran is, which definitely would require regime change.
In a new MAGA firmware update, we’ve also been told that now there’s nothing wrong with regime change wars as such, only badly conducted ones. (As we will see, this is probably the most stupidly conducted war in American history.) As Endeavour observed, “The new MAGA cope is that when Trump said ‘peace’, he didn’t mean no new wars, but ‘peace through strength’, meaning new wars.”
I don’t believe for a minute that the United States fears a nuclear Iran. I don’t for a minute think that the United States wishes to replace the current Iranian regime with a liberal democracy. These are just dishonest pretexts to sell this war to gullible goyim. My only doubt is whether Trump & Co. are among the gullible goyim, or if they are fully culpable traitors lying America into another war.
