George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Donald Trump is a global chaos generator. He couldn't give a damn about the Iranians and will walk away the moment things get difficult, leaving a trail of pointless death and destruction. It's all about spectacle for him. Once that's achieved, job done. 431056218
sonofthelorax.bsky.social @sonofthelorax.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It's all a distraction, nobody is talking about his actions with Epstein when he's bombing little girl schools in Iran and causing the oil price to spike causing economic issues around the world! 020
mumknowsbest.bsky.social @mumknowsbest.bsky.social · 01/03/2026He is General Jack Ripper from Dr Strangelove …. 000
Just a Gal @lemoore.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Spectacle, ego, destabilisation and capital gains for him and his buddies, including his Russian comrades! 000
Steve Webster @croft1a.bsky.social · 01/03/2026So the White House, Israel and the Iranian regime are well matched anyway. No good guys here. For once I agree with the UK government in refusing to take a side. 030
fergie10p.bsky.social @fergie10p.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It seems to be the American way..Trumps not the first 000
James Bottomley @jamesbottomley.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Also note the approach transferred from Israel and the IDF - assasinate leaders, repeatedly bomb, kill the replacement leaders, rinse and repeat. An endless cycle going basically nowhere. Not sure who is really in charge in the White House but a lot of this looks like Tel Aviv more than DC. 031
Cris in Kbh @cris143.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It’s more simple… Trump is thief, liar, abuser and he has been enabled by those who refuse to say no… 000
Trish @jsewtz.bsky.social · 02/03/2026At least that corrupt spectacle of the FIFA World Cup will be a diaster. Probably cares more about that than Iran. 000
Trish @jsewtz.bsky.social · 01/03/2026He heads up a bigger shinier Wagner group, he is contractong out US foreign policy to Israel, Saudis, technuts 000
dee7777.bsky.social @dee7777.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Yes. And deflection and distraction from Epstein files. 010
Krasnov @krasnov47.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Operation Epic Fury = Distraction Epstein Files The opening salvo of the Billionaire Pedophile War just murdered another hundred girls. And still somehow the USA political system ignores it all. 060
Doug McGrave @dougmccrae.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Yes, Trump's main aim is the generation of news stories in which he looks like a strong leader. He likes threats and military operations. It's driven by the news cycle. Attacks have to be concluded quickly so he can move on to the next story. That's why he prefers bombing and special forces. 020
megatronmumma.bsky.social @megatronmumma.bsky.social · 01/03/2026He's killed children for god's sake! When is enough, enough?! 000
Iacovos @iacovos.bsky.social · 01/03/2026The spectacle of brutally murdering a greater number of innocent schoolgirls than he likely raped is frankly not a good spectacle for Trump 000
En Buen Ora @enbuenora.bsky.social · 01/03/2026also the longtime Iran hawks in the US and in the region (Israel most of all) simply want Iran to be deconstructed as a functional nation-state, like Libya, and they do not give the slightest shit what horrifying chaos follows 051
Air Force Vet @airforcevet.bsky.social · 01/03/2026The Pottery Barn rule does not apply to Trump. He just breaks things and keeps going. 000
Seymour Strangely @seymourstrangely.bsky.social · 03/03/2026forget about trying to placate, appease or flatter Trump. his attention span is very, very short, and his needy narcissism is infinite. the best you could hope for is to keep him from attacking you for a short while, say an hour or so. and to do that, you'd have to sell your soul to the devil. 000
David Norris @borisnorris.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Surely we have all learned that if you destroy a country’s administration, this is a recipe for violence and chaos, rather than a transition to any form of democracy. 020
Paul Russell @pwrussell.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Spectacle and attention. He can’t bear it if a day goes by when he is not the centre of attention across the entire world. 030
Neil Skeffington @neilskeff.bsky.social · 01/03/2026media.tenor.comshrek is standing on top of a set of stairs with two knights .ALT: shrek is standing on top of a set of stairs with two knights . 040
Pete Hudson 🇬🇧🇨🇵🇪🇺🏴🇮🇪🇳🇱🏴🇮🇳 #FBPE #BanX #UKPR #UK_JoinEU @twopenneth.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Trump has killed a religious leader. Lord knows where that will lead. 000
Anne Roberts @anneroberts54.bsky.social · 01/03/2026There's been quite a bit of reaction saying the Iranian people will be "saved" or "free". Not by this action they won't. One just has to look at Venezuela to see how much Trump & Co. care about the welfare of the people. They couldn't give a toss. Any day now we'll hear how he's taken Iranian oil. 040
PNíM @pnimg.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Trump is drunk on power and war and killing people, without any thought for the devastation he leaves in his wake. He is a despicable human being. 020
Lisa, the North! ✊ @lisafight.bsky.social · 01/03/2026💯 👍 bsky.app/profile/chad...Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.socialLindsey Graham “Our goal is to make sure (Iran) cannot become, again, the largest state sponsor of terrorism. MTP Host: “But is there a plan? Does the president have a plan to guarantee that that happens?” Graham: “No, it's not his job or my job to do this. How many times do I have to tell you!” 030
Louiselyd @edithdaisy.bsky.social · 02/03/2026It’s all about distraction from the Epstein files for Trump. I’m assuming Starmer is once again appeasing the US and thus endangering the UK because he’s been blackmailed. MAFO - Make America Fuck Off, rejoin the EU and give us back our freedoms. 000
Greg Tuck @tuckyswans.bsky.social · 01/03/2026He's already moved on. He's looking for the next distraction to hide the Epstein files. 000
mark-a-e.bsky.social @mark-a-e.bsky.social · 01/03/2026He also needs a distraction, the Epstein files are casting a big shadow 3190
Marinera @paisailing.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Ideally, the more sadistic the spectacle, the better True to his toxic narcissistic nature 010
Steve R @stefanor.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Or is it- “…. If a regime change leads to a stable, pro-Western or democratic government, the structural benefits for US oil firms could be substantial: 100
Francien @francienh9.bsky.social · 02/03/2026He got lots of money from the countries around Iran, so maybe he is also returning a favor. 000
bradley252.bsky.social @bradley252.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Going to war to protect pedophiles is a whole new level of evil. 000
Anna Murphy @annabuzzmurphy.bsky.social · 02/03/2026He can’t afford to lose the midterms - there’s too much evidence against him. What are the chances that he creates a state of emergency to impede the midterms by alleging Iran has rigged the elections? 000
@Timolarch @timolarch.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Spectacle, as a distraction. In the same week his personal lawyers at the DOJ lost /hid 3 interview, transcripts alledging sexual assault of a 14yo child.. Reportedly. 030
JQ Jacobs @jqjacobs.bsky.social · 01/03/2026FIXED: It's all about raising the price of oil for Putin. Once that's achieved, job done. 020
Spectraliser @spectraliser.bsky.social · 01/03/2026... all fully justified by Keir Starmer et al. But of course, Iran is indiscriminately firing missiles (at all of the US bases that are being used to launch the attacks which happen to be in pretty much every other middle east country). 110
Dwight McCabe @dwightmc.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Don't forget the bribes. Trump takes massive bribes from Gulf States and the Saudis, then attacks their enemy Iran. 0221
zidangus.bsky.social @zidangus.bsky.social · 01/03/2026It's all about distraction, people are starting dig deep on those Epstein files and Trump is panicking, he needs to create a distraction and for a psychopath what better way to do it than start a war. 010
