Why are we attacking Iran? Why are we attacking Iran now? As in, why now instead of 47 years ago, when the war actually began?
To understand why we've ended up in this situation, you need to understand the people who have been running the West all this time: the Epstein Class, aka the Professional-Managerial Class, aka the Symbolic Capitalists.
They live in a world where with the right words they can get whatever they want.
Say the correct incantations, get the results you want. The incantations don't even have to make any sense! "Abara Cadabara" and "there are 300 genders, trust the science" means the exact same thing: "I memorized the incantation, now you have to give me the goodies."
If you are charismatic and manipulative enough, and can keep saying the correct incantations while keeping a straight face, you're a wiz-kid. A wizard.
You get the diplomas, the degrees, and promotions, the power, the money, the women, just by saying the correct incantations with the right tone of voice.
So now you're controlling the foreign policy of the West, and our enemies decide that the West is run by 90-pound pencil-necks. So they come over to steal our lunch money.
What to do? The Epstein Class don't like the military, the military is filled with people who are the opposite of the Epstein Class. In the military people do physical things and are actually held accountable, to the point of dying brutal deaths if they mess up.
So the Epstein Class says they have something that does the exact same job as the military, only better. They call it "Negotiation" but obviously they don't mean that. Negotiation just means splitting the difference, meeting people half-way, and we could have done that 47 years ago. "Oh, you want Death To America and Death To The Jews? Okay, We'll get Auschwitz running at half-capacity and nuke every town east of the Mississippi river. Best Friends Forever?"
So when the Epstein Class says "negotiation" they actually mean "I will say magical incantations, and then the universe will give me stuff." If that sounds absurd, it shouldn't, because their entire life trajectory has proved to them that the universe really does work that way!
And when the incantations don't work, there's always a Plan B: throw Daddy's Money at the problem.
So Bill Clinton's "negotiations" with North Korea resulted in a deal where we give North Korea lots of money, and then North Korea totally gives us a pinkie promise to not make nukes before making nukes.
Then Obama's "negotiations" with Iran resulted in a deal where Iran gets lots of money, and then Iran totally gives us a pinkie promise to not do October 7th before doing October 7th.
So now we've got an Iran which builds 100 ballistic missiles a month and has the ability to build nukes if we get distracted for two weeks. Maybe for a few billion dollars we can negotiate them down to building 50 missiles per month and filling them with nerve gas?
No more. The incantations have failed for 47 years. Finally someone figured out that you might not be interested in physical reality, but physical reality is interested in you.
Note: of course prayer is also about saying the right words in order to get certain results from the universe, but it's different, for reasons I'm not going to go into here.
