Sneak Attack
Yesterday, February 27, 2026, was a date which will live in infamy.
Haven’t seen anyone else make this particular comparison yet — too much is happening, too fast. But I think it’s apt: A massive, unannounced, preemptive strike against a country with which one is in active, high-level diplomatic peace negotiations.
It’s harsh to say it, but it sounds an awful lot like 1941. Except we’re the good guys, right? And Roosevelt was still alive the next day to say those words about imperial treachery.
And, a separate issue:
Trump unleashes this, then tells the Iranian people to take to the streets. Sounds like he doesn’t have much of a plan beyond the immediate fireworks.
This does seem like the Epstein tale wagging the dog, doesn’t it?
That’s it for the day. More tomorrow.
As I wrote in a different Substack, there are many possible motivations:
1) Distraction from the worsening Epstein situation, of course.
2) A favor for Netanyahu, with something eventually expected in return.
3) A favor for the Saudis. Ditto.
4) He's tanking in every opinion poll. Nothing like a war to boost one's numbers, eh?
5) Hurt feelings (SCOTUS tariff, etc.). So of course, what does a bully do then? Find someone else to bully.
6) His ongoing warped ideas about how to create a legacy.
7) And let us not forget Hegseth. Gotta put that warrior ethos into practice, eh?
Bored of Peace indeed. Again, in his inimitable fashion, Demento has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. There supposedly was an even better deal than "Obama's" JCPOA according to the Omani foreign minister who was honchoing the so-called negotiations which was what shit-for brains was presumably looking for. And we do so well at regime change...
