We can reasonably posit that Putin wants the US to expend enormous resources on the Iran war and wants the US to lose it as embarrassingly as possible. To a meaningful extent this might coincide with Trump’s purposes too. How? A lost war requires either an honest, sober examination of evidence or a conspiracy theory with credible scapegoats, which only a dictator can set right.
Every conspiracy theory begins with a modicum of generally accepted evidence, both the genuine kind and the manufactured kind. A useful conspiracy theory may also evoke strong preexisting biases and prejudices.
On March 11, 2026 in informal remarks captured on video while in Los Angeles, Trump said, “My son‑in‑law Jared told me if I don’t attack Iran, Iran will attack me” and “Based on what Steve, Jared, Pete, and Marco were telling me, I thought they were going to attack us.”*
The following day, Trump told White House reporters, “I thought they were going to attack,” referring to briefings he received from Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. In the same set of remarks, Trump said that information from these advisers convinced him that Iran was preparing hostile action, which he used to justify the military operation.**
Witkoff, Kushner and Trump’s top troll, Stephe Miller, are all Jews. In whichever of 2026 and/or in 2027 and 2028, it will become unescapable general knowledge that American lives and treasure have been wasted in a doomed war launched when US and its interests were under no proximate threat.
Then Trump and his elite and low-class trolls alike will have hatred of Jews, the conspiracy that's served everyone from the Tsars of Russia to Stalin, to every 1930s dictator to Joe McCarthy's gullible public: Maga will falsely claim It was, that it always has been and always will be the International, now also the genocidal, Palestine-stealing, Jew. Maga will claim that it was Netanyahu, Israel and a claimed Fifth Column of Stephen Miller, Witkoff and the Kushners who manipulated us into doing their dirty work, simultaneously sabotaged it and did it all for their and Israel's political, financial and tribal profit.
I know how predictable and monotonous this seems, but only time can prove me wrong.
