Rubio on Al Jazerra states primary reason for war on Iran

Trump gets a cut of the arms deals with Israel, Saudi Arabia and other ME allies. Making sure there’s lots of demand in the region makes him personally richer.

What do I think?

I think Rubio's trying out post-facto "explanations" to see if one lands well.

I think Donald is spouting any old shit that's in his head, which varies from day to day.

I think I don't know what assorted "reasons" in the US and Israeli administrations really tipped them over into launching these attacks. As so many previous posters have said, can't believe a word which comes out of any of their mouths.

I think whoever is in the IRGC still are just trying to survive and will lob something at ships in the Strait every so often if they can.

He does come across as more rational than Trump and Hegseth but they’re so deranged, it’s not difficult.

What do I believe? We’re at the mercy of madmen and anything could happen and NOBODY knows what that will be, including Trump.

I don’t believe anything Israel or US have to say about this war, and US change their tune every day anyway. There’s nothing to believe or disbelieve about Iran’s part is there? I don’t think they say much, what can they say? They do take the piss out of Trump now and again though - but so does the whole world.

"We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action; we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties," Rubio said.

That's what he said four weeks ago.

We know they all lie but I’m slightly more inclined to believe Rubio than Trump or bullshit Barbie. Though if Trump tells Rubio to lie, he will.

You can’t believe anything coming out of Iran either.

I’m not really taking any notice of anything that comes out of the mouths of these untrustworthy people.

I honestly think everyone in that administration is so full of utter bullshit that nothing that comes out of any of their mouths is worth the paper I'd wipe my ass with.
They'll say the aim of the war is whatever they feel at that moment in time is most likely to be achieved.
