		<description><![CDATA[Bob Sykes says:&lt;blockquote&gt;And yet, no WMD were ever found, and the modern consensus is that they never existed.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Packaged with a spin as to whom to blame, yes.

To cut through the inevitable mountain of bullshit, we can use plain old “motive-method-opportunity” approach or common sense. The former points at Saddam threatening the holy Petrodollar as a compelling motive. The latter tells us that if the circus had good evidence of anything remotely actionable, they could use it, rather than relying on silliness like asking 15-year-old daughter of Kuwaiti ambassador “Nayirah, darling, tell us a sob story about the eeevil Iraqi”.

Will says: &lt;blockquote&gt;…prior to the First Gulf War, the UN Inspections team stated there were WMD in Iraq (biological and chemical). There were, and then there were not. Where did they go?

Satellite footage just prior to the invasion show trucks moving north into Syria.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Cue the clumsily fake gas attacks in Syria. Which swiftly got upgraded all the way from “suspected chlorine” to nonsensical sarin, discussed while under development on Tw@ter. As an aside, some habitually tried to blame those on Trump when the fake was widely mocked.

The UN clowns not only confirmed those, but cooperated with ISIS snuff movie production:

What UN exists for, again? Oh.

And then the remakes went quite ridiculous:

		<description><![CDATA[Possibly relevant:

When global powers engage in what increasingly looks like performative escalation, it raises bigger questions: 

Who benefits from a conflict that stops short of actual war? 

Is this about deterrence or distraction? 

Are we seeing diplomacy or direction? 

And most importantly: 

Do we, the citizens, matter in this equation, or are we just the audience?

Probably mostly irrelevant:
