The reason is, and I'll bet a lot of money on this: an LLM told them to.

This is easy one: Trump went to war to get the fact he's child rapist off the front page.

This evil man is just fine murdering Americans to divert attention from his crimes.

They bombed Iran to get people to forget that Trump and his circle are mass-scale slavers, child rapists, and traitorous foreign agents.

They are trying to cause an attack on American soil.

Why? Trump has been very clear about his unhinged plan to use martial law as an excuse to scuttle the midterms. The domestic strategies have repeatedly failed, so now he’s going for a 9/11 10/7 gambit.

Americans, you need to take out your political trash now or get out of the country. Gilead is coming.

Epitome of "shoot first, as questions later".

Does it change anything if it's a good excuse?

If you state reasons for doing something that gives everyone a thing to look at to see if you are succeeding or failing.

Trump is, above all else, a master in marketing. He has complete confidence that, through marketing skills, he will be able to take credit for anything good that comes, and all failures can be either ignored or blamed on someone else.

But stating reasons up front makes it harder to do this.

There was an article saying it was for religious reasons, military people calling in to a hotline they have to say they were told orders were sanctioned by god or something similar.

I'm not religious (do know a fair but of what pre high school kids tends to learn) but according to the old testament the Christian God(well all same God for participants technically unless I'm misunderstanding my theology) doesn't need help if he wants to wipe out people.

Imagine saying you're on a holy war because Trump says so? That sounds wild even for some of the out there comedies.

The causus belli is probably somewhere in the Epstein files, let's all check them thoroughly!

The Trump War Evading Epstein (TWEE) with no way of telling if we're "winning" or "losing." I'm pretty sure we're losing if we're blowing up elementary schools.

They gave a reason, it's just stupid.

Rubio said it was a preemptive strike to preempt their strike after the Israeli preemptive strike.

Kinda WW1 logic.

Apparently Israel runs the world now and we are their lapdog. That’s why.

america is now a vassal state of the israelis. america gives billions to israel. israelis get free education and healthcare. american taxpayers get cancelled healthcare, cancelled foodstamps, cancelled safety nets. why did you vote for this? i really dont get it.

“What a beautiful White House! Look at those drapes! And have you seen the DOW?” the guy is senile and his sycophants don’t want to upset him.

Wasn't it because he is anointed by Jesus to be the herald of his second cumming?

Probably quid pro quo with the saudis for more oil dominance

Why not open source this work to the gig economy? They should have some sort of contrivance contest for whoever can construct the most realistic bullshit excuse for why the US went to war. Winner gets paid for a day and a bag of onions.

UHh.. The kinda have.

They said Israel made them do it.

Well they could just tell the truth and admit it was to distract from the Epstein files.

"Operation Epstein Distraction"

Unsanctioned military operation. Not war. Illegal command from a compromised POTUS doing the work of his master.

Have the war you voted for, MAGAs.

I've heard they are purchasing a big spinning wheel and suggestions are now being collected to place on the wheel board. Trump will give it a final spin later today and whatever it falls on his cronies will align with.

of course there's something in it which brings in money to the Government. The orange poostainlicker cannot do anything else.

I haven't seen any news about this, but my family keeps saying that Iran attacked a US outpost first.

Edit, thanks for the sanity check.

Well, there's the standard authoriarian reason: "Because Dear Leader felt like it."

In this case, it's the only reason, with the reason behind the reason being "Because MBS and Netanyahu wanted it."
