This war was started to distract from the Epstein files (among other issues involving corruption), but not due to imminent threats from Iran. There is no end in sight.

Lockheed MartIn's stock is booming and those of the rest of the MIC.

All polls show a clear majority is against this war and that will not change, as the orange $atan broke his campaign promise of "no new wars" and the price of everything is about to skyrocket (and that doesn't include the national debt that is going to explode before that other unwinnable war run by idiots and incompetents will end).
