It seems not implausible that the main reason Donlad the hate-Clown with an actual crusades-tattooed Secretary of "Defense" decided to start a new war for USA by bombing Iran may have been to deflect attention and protests from the domestic protests against the inhumane unconstitutional ICE-raids and subsequently to maintain that atrocity also following invasion of Los Angeles,
on the rationale that war-time presidents very much tend to get a popularity boost and acceptance for illegally crushing whatever dissent remains.
It seems to me however even more likely that Trump just has no idea what the reason was or if Trump will next Sunday invade Panama, Denmark, the Philippines, Iraq, Mars, France, South Africa, Ohio, Canada, U.K., Mars Incorporated, Mexico or Pearl Harbor.
Neither do you.

L'immagine mostra un tagliere di legno su cui sono disposti vari cetrioli marini tagliati a bastoncini. I cetrioli sono stati accuratamente posizionati per ricreare la forma delle colonne del monolito di Stonehenge, con alcune pezzi appoggiati orizzontalmente per simulare le traverse. Il tagliere è posizionato su un tavolo coperto da un tovagliolo a motivi geometrici e floreali in tonalità di grigio e beige. La disposizione dei cetrioli crea un'immagine divertente e creativa, che richiama la famosa roccia preistorica.

Long COVID cost Germany 32 bln Euros last year – why we must act now
Only a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, medical experts started ringing alarm bells about a potential wave of chronic illnesses resulting from infections.Five years on and some estimates suggest 65 million people globally could be living with Long COVID. This highly debilitating condition remains poorly understood, but emerging research suggests it is taking a huge toll on society and the economy.
Our study - the first of its kind in Germany - shows that Long COVID has so far probably cost the country a staggering 125.6 billion Euros ($142 billion).
And with COVID still circulating, that figure is set to keep rising.
This is not just an issue for Germany. A small but growing number of studies in other countries show that our findings are well in line with estimates elsewhere.
There are likely about 871,000 people living with Long COVID in Germany.

Trump gambles his presidency on war
If Iran does not agree to peace on Trump’s terms,
the president’s vow that
“there are many targets left”
opened the door to a much deeper and potentially longer conflict.
Already, that prospect is angering some members of his political base.
