Sorry, What Was The Point Of This Whole Thing Again?

As the war in Iran enters its second devastating month, the world has once again been left asking what this was all fucking for?

While the completely rationale and sane US President Donald Trump has thankfully backed down on his threat to erase an entire civilisation, the longer the conflict drags on, the less sense it seems to make to any one.

A ceasefire has supposedly been agreed to between the parties, with both sides making demands they know the other side won't agree to, in a weird lull that other regional parties are just flat out ignoring.

Inevitably the missiles are set to start flying again, with the world continuing to buckle under the strain of an economic crisis which has been rapidly fuelled by this conflict.

Initially pitched as an attempt to liberate the people of Iran from their regime, the killing of the Ayatollah has seen the former leader replaced by his son, with the regime seemingly continuing on business as usual.

The plight of Iranian women, which was also thrown up to the world has seemingly not gotten much better, with the regime still in charge and bombs now raining down on their country with the threat of 'total eradication' apparently the next step up from bombing schools.

Security was another weird reason offered up, with a war seemingly now just radicalising another generation of Iranians to hate the West.

Oil was also offered up in a refreshingly honest revelation by the US president, however that the war has seemingly cause more headaches than it solved on that front.

Now, after a month, the flip flopping of the US President and the media class around why this war was 'necessary' has yet to really clarify what the fucking point was.

Unless it was to manipulate markets, drive up the price of oil, create a new era of uncertainty where strong men capitalise on people's fears and generate trillions of dollars in revenue for the military industrial complex who treat human beings like characters in their video game to make as much money as possible.

Then that probably makes a bit more sense.

More to come.
