Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted that the U.S. was forced into the war with Iran by Israel while speaking with reporters on Monday. He explained that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had effectively boxed in the Trump administration, taking the decision out of American hands.

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action,” Rubio explained. “We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

Rubio’s disclosure highlights the Trump administration’s unwillingness to rein in the actions of Israel, even when that country’s policies resulted in U.S. attacks that only a tiny minority of the American public supports.

    You know who Epstein was working for, right?

    Hint: Look up who Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad was.

    They literally have photos and evidence against a significant portion of western leaders and lobbyists. That combines with the influence purchased through one of the largest PACs in the America and it really shouldn’t be that hard to imagine.

      On top of the threat of Epstein, Trump has spent a lot of time talking about whether he will get into heaven lately. Coupled with the news that military leaders are saying that the strikes are to help Trump usher in the Christian Armageddon end times, it’s also reasonable to think that Netanyahu coaxed Trump into thinking if he “helped God” he might actually get into heaven despite the child rape and murder.
