If I bet on heads and tails then it doesn't matter if I can predict which will come up.

Once the US starts pretending to be concerned about how many protestors are getting killed in a country with oil, we all know what is coming next. They attacked Iran in 2025. Negotiated in February 2026. Moved more air and naval assets to the Gulf. It was not hard to see what was coming. Everyone predicted he would attack Iran.

February 26, 2026 -- Two days prior to the attack:

...lawmakers on the House Foreign Affairs Committee are trying to prevent a vote on an Iran war powers resolution sponsored by Congressmembers Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. The bill would require every member of Congress to go on the record about a potential U.S. war with Iran.
