Operation Useful Idiot and The Art of the War Crime

How a draft-dodging convicted criminal took America to war without Congress or cause

Israel targets Gaza by Mohammed Ibrahim

At 2:30 in the morning on Saturday, February 28, 2026, while most of America slept, the Pedophile in Chief took to his dime store social media platform to announce that, at his behest, America had illegally entered into a war with Iran.

It would make sense to ask questions about how and why this happened, or about how this will bring down the price of groceries, gas, electricity, or rent, or perhaps about how this will improve our ability to access affordable healthcare or how it could boost the economy and create more jobs—but to ask any of those questions would presuppose that Donald Trump were a legitimate president and that any of us were living under the delusion that he sought office to make life better for anyone other than himself and that is most certainly not the case. Our reality is far more grim and, if we’re being honest, bleak.

And so, here we are, some 48 hours into a brand new unnecessary war started by a convicted criminal who fraudulently occupies the Oval Office—a malignant narcissistic sociopath on a mission to destroy us, our country, and it would seem the same goes for any other country he can invade for no real reason at all.

By the time our Great National Embarrassment posted the eight-minute, bush-league-quality video declaring that American forces had launched “major combat operations” in Iran, bombs had already fallen on Tehran.

Appearing on camera under the shoddiest lighting imaginable, the tinpot dictator lumbered behind his podium, more visibly sweaty than normal, likely due in part to the ever-present south Florida humidity, as he couldn’t be bothered to drag his obese meatsack all the way to Washington to make the sobering announcement. No, instead, the lazy lardass spoke to the world from his fake-gold encrusted, bedbug-infested roach motel for grifters and whores in Florida—otherwise known as the STD-ridden limp dick of America.

Foregoing his standard-issue, comically-long red tie, he went with the unbuttoned-collar look, as if to signify working long and hard for a people who, in reality, he wouldn’t piss on were they on fire. In a display of authoritarian strength, Moron Von Shitzhispantz wore one of those embarrassingly cheap white truck-stop hats with USA emblazoned on the front—less the dignified look of a strong and competent leader of the free world, more the look of a washed-up slob whose only real achievement in life was reality TV show host, though truth be told, he never even could have achieved that were it not for his toxic family’s money.

It’s quite remarkable to witness a quintuple draft-dodger cosplaying as a commander in chief, condescendingly telling Americans that “we may have casualties…that often happens in war” with all the philosophical equanimity of a man who has never been within a thousand miles of war.

I have a strong hunch we’re about to learn that bone spurs are a hereditary trait.

But, for a moment, let’s set aside the farcical spectacle of it all and consider the fact that what Agent Orange has done is, by any honest reading of the United States Constitution, yet another in his long list of crimes—a list that grows longer by the day. The power to declare war resides in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the US Constitution, and it belongs exclusively to Congress. You remember Congress—that feckless bunch of crooked, spineless rat bastards who work for the corporations and foreign lobbying interests that bought and paid for their loyalty with blood money? They’ve been neutered and sidelined for so long that it’s easy to forget they once existed as a co-equal branch of government intended to serve an important role in what was supposed to be a democratic system of checks and balances.

Before Trump announced that the United States was at war with Iran, Congress had neither been briefed or consulted, nor had they made any formal declaration of war. Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island—the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose role is explicitly to oversee and understand the nation’s military posture—learned we were at war at the same time and in the same manner you and I did.

And let’s not forget—since every member of the press corps seems determined to—that this is the same president who, eight months ago, stood before the American public and declared that we had (again, illegally) bombed Iran and that their nuclear program had been, according to him, “completely and totally obliterated” by Operation Midnight Hammer, which sounds more fitting as the title of a low-budget porn flick than a necessary and strategic military mission. But this raises the obvious question of why a country’s nuclear program which Trump claimed was “completely and totally obliterated” suddenly required an urgent rush to war to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Don the Con may still have some sheep that buy whatever bullshit he’s selling, but he can’t have it both ways—either he was lying then, or he’s lying now.

The answer is C: all of the above.

If he’s breathing, he’s lying. Besides generally being a disgusting piece of shit, it’s what he does best. It’s in his blood. It’s who he is. It’s who he’s always been—a dirty, rotten, compulsive liar. Unethical and untrustworthy. Nasty. Cruel. Irredeemable. A man so constitutionally incapable of honesty that the truth physically repels him like a crucifix to a vampire—except vampires have the decency to recoil. Trump doesn’t. He doubles, triples down, burying one lie under an avalanche of more lies, bigger lies, and then has the audacity to dare you call him on it.

Donald Trump is a morally bankrupt lowlife.

Hail to the thief.

So let’s examine his stated case for an illegal war against Iran.

Trump said Iran posed an “imminent threat” to the American people. He ran through forty-seven years of grievances—the 1979 hostage crisis, the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings, the Khobar Towers bombing, the proxy attacks on American bases across the Middle East—a recitation that may or may not be wholly accurate as history but which, nevertheless, is dishonest as strategic justification, since none of these things happened recently—his job was not to relitigate the Carter administration’s foreign policy decisions—and the question before Trump should have been whether starting a war with Iran was unavoidable due to an imminent threat to the American people. Amid ongoing peace talks, Iran was already willing to make concessions that served our national security interests and those of other nations. The maintenance of peace, of world order, was well within his reach, but being the imbecilic chump he’s always been (it takes a special kind of idiot to bankrupt a casino) he fucking blew it.

The Defense Intelligence Agency, in a 2025 report, confirmed that Iran possesses no intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the United States. It added that Iran could potentially develop them by 2035. Could. Potentially. By 2035. We bombed a country over a potential threat that may or may not ever materialize.

Iran’s nuclear program was described by the CIA, after the June 2025 strikes, as “severely degraded.” Not “obliterated.” Degraded. Set back approximately two years. And Rafael Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour “that we did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon.”

Who could’ve guessed that Weapons of Mass Destruction, America’s favorite recurring villain, would be wheeled out of storage, dusted off, and thrust back into the spotlight for a 2026 appearance.

The part of this story that has received the least attention is what happened just before the bombs fell. The Omani foreign minister, Badr Albusaidi—who had been mediating talks between Washington and Tehran—flew to Washington personally to speak with Trump and Vance to assure them that progress was being made, that Iran had agreed to cease stockpiling enriched uranium entirely, and that any nuclear threat, America’s primary concern, was a non-issue as any stockpiles of uranium were being blended down to be converted into fuel, which he called a “big achievement.”

The next day, a barely noticeable headline noted that Trump said he wasn’t happy with how negotiations were going—and within hours, the United States and our BFF in all things war-crime-related, Israel, began dropping bombs on Tehran, one of which hit an elementary school for girls, killing at least 153 people, most of them children between the ages of 7–12 years old.

The question of what America gets out of this is not rhetorical, and I’ll tell you upfront it doesn’t have a good answer. Yes, we’re always down to invade another country and steal their oil, but beyond that grim tradition, the strategic case for American involvement here is nonexistent. The case for Israel’s involvement, on the other hand, is elementary.

Netanyahu has spent more than thirty years arguing—to anyone who would listen, in front of any audience that would have him—that Iran represents an existential threat to Israel and must be destroyed. Thirty years of lobbying American presidents. Thirty years of intelligence briefings, private meetings, public speeches, and theatrical displays at the United Nations complete with cartoon bomb diagrams. The problem Netanyahu faced, year after year, was that no American president would back a direct attack on Iran—because nobody wants to be responsible for kicking off World War III. Every president before Trump—including Trump, in his first term—told him no.

That is, until now.

Without American backing, Israel cannot realistically take on Iran alone—a country 75 times its size—while simultaneously managing the constellation of hostile actors pressing on it from every direction: Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Iranian-aligned militias in Iraq. Israel’s dependence on American money, weapons, and carrier strike groups isn’t merely strategic or tactical—it’s existential.

In June 2025, still running hot from successfully flattening Gaza without meaningful intervention from the international community, Israel launched a surprise attack against Iran. Trump initially warned Netanyahu against it—publicly, anyway. Within hours of the first Israeli bombs falling, Trump was glued to the resulting wall-to-wall coverage, and the White House apparatus was monitoring prominent MAGA influencers for their reactions. The New York Times’ account of his decision-making process is not flattering. He was moved, substantially, by the hot takes of Fox News guests—because, and I feel like this goes without saying, Trump is a simpleton with zero understanding of geopolitics, world history, or the long-term consequences of military escalation—a man whose foreign policy instincts are formed entirely by ego, television ratings, and the approval of cable news personalities who are themselves auditioning for his attention.

By June 22nd, American bunker-busters were falling on Iranian nuclear facilities and Trump, in his trademark bombastic manner, declared Iran’s nuclear program “completely and totally obliterated.” Only it wasn’t. The CIA assessed the damage and determined Iran’s nuclear program had been set back months, not years, and that much of the enriched uranium had been moved before the strikes hit.

Eight months later, here we are again.

This time Trump has named an explicit objective—he wants regime change, telling the Iranian people, “When we are finished, take over your government.” Despite his regime offering no theory of how an air campaign could produce such a people’s revolution—there are, however, as has been noted by people who study these things, almost no successful examples in modern history of regime change achieved exclusively from the air. Still, for now, it seems that’s the plan and the talking point delivered to Trump’s alcoholic SecDef Pete “Kegstand” Hegseth who will go down in history as a wholly unqualified DUI hire—the only human on earth to receive such a level of job promotion to go from weekend Fox News anchor to leading the largest and most powerful military on planet earth.

What Israel gets out of all this is clear.

The end of Hezbollah’s primary funder. The destruction of Hamas’s primary backer. The Houthis cut off. Iran’s military weakened, if not decimated, and the guaranteed end to any nuclear program, real or imagined, they may once have had. Netanyahu goes down in history as the man who finally finished what he started—the remaking of the Middle East in Israel’s image, with American pilots and American munitions and American carrier strike groups doing the work he could not have done alone. General Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, warned Trump privately that we cannot afford to spend down our stockpiles like this. Trump being Trump, however, that advice went in one ear and out the other with less than zero resistance on its short and uneventful journey.

I’m still waiting for someone to explain what we get. And when I sit with that question long enough, I keep arriving somewhere most major media outlets refuse to go.

What I’m about to lay out is documented, sourced, reported journalism—not conspiracy theory or speculation. The conclusions it implies have not been proven, and I won’t assert that they have. But the pattern of Trump’s behavior toward Israel—across two terms, on issue after issue, at the consistent expense of American strategic interests—is not the behavior of a normal relationship between allies. It’s the behavior of a man operating under constraints he cannot publicly acknowledge.

Given all I’ve learned over the last year, I find a conspiratorial explanation increasingly plausible: that Donald Trump has always had more than one puppetmaster. Vladimir Putin has held kompromat on Trump for decades and pulls his strings accordingly, but in recent years, thanks to Trump’s pedophile best friend Jeffrey Epstein and his numerous, well-documented connections to Israeli intelligence—specifically to the Mossad—Netanyahu likely has more dirt on Trump than Pam Bondi could ever hope to redact in a lifetime. This is my opinion. I could be wrong. I don’t believe I am—not when I trust my own eyes and ears as reliable witnesses.

Since 2024, a hacking group with documented ties to the Iranian government has released hundreds of thousands of emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak—one of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest associates. The highly respected, non-profit investigative outlet Drop Site News has spent months publishing major investigations built on these files, and what they found is this: Epstein worked to expand Israel’s cyber warfare industry into foreign countries. He brokered surveillance deals on Israel’s behalf. He communicated with Ehud Barak in terms that made clear he understood himself to be operating inside an intelligence framework—carefully routing certain deals away from “number 1,” a long-established internal nickname for the head of the Mossad.

An high-ranking Israeli intelligence officer named Yoni Koren used Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse as a regular address. And Epstein worked, according to Drop Site’s reporting, to steer American policy toward strikes on Iran—demonstrating “his knack for steering the superpowers toward Israel’s interests by leveraging a social network that intersected the Israeli, American, and Russian intelligence communities.”

That is published. That is documented. That happened.

Donald Trump and Epstein moved in each other’s orbit for years—photographed together at events, constantly present in the social world of the other, sharing flights and the darkest, sickest, most criminal of secrets, vouched for by mutual friends. There is a civil lawsuit, filed and then dropped under circumstances that were never explained, alleging that Trump and Epstein together sexually assaulted a thirteen-year-old girl on at least one occasion.

Major media outlets won’t ask the question, but I will: Just what, exactly, does Israel have on Donald John Trump, the so-called “President” of the United States?

I don’t know. Few people do. But the question is not a conspiracy theory—it is the logical inference from a documented pattern: a morally-void crook who spent his first term warning Netanyahu not to strike Iran, who ran against interventionism, who branded himself the great dealmaker and the anti-war candidate—this man has now taken the United States into its second full-scale military confrontation with Iran in eight months—one in which at least four American service members have already been killed. And he launched it without congressional authorization, justifying it with dubious claims the DIA, the CIA, and the IAEA have all contradicted. He rejected any diplomatic solution that was already on the table. He overruled his own Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

And he did all of it in service of a foreign government’s agenda, against every campaign promise he made to the MAGA faithful who voted for him.

Murtaza Hussain and Ryan Grim of Drop Site News, who have done more original reporting on the Epstein-Israel intelligence connection than any journalists working in America today, have noted plainly that the major outlets simply “don’t want to talk about it.” The same corporate press that spent years not reporting what was actually happening in that Manhattan townhouse is today covering “Operation Epic Fury” as a straightforward national security decision with a straightforward national security rationale.

It isn’t.

The bombs falling on Iran are not falling for you or me to keep us safe. They are not falling for any American interest, or any threat that any recognized expert or authority has substantiated. The bombs are falling on Iran because Benjamin Netanyahu has a thirty year plus hard-on for this outcome, and he appears to have found, in Donald Trump, a useful idiot finally willing—or unable to refuse—to give him exactly what he wants.

That distinction—willing versus unable to refuse—is the one to pay attention to.
