Once again, Geneva's normally decent political instincts end up running the wrong way, and is why Geneva should read anti-imperialist theory if Geneva wants to understand how the world works. Attacking Iran is a bipartisan project decades in the making. Trump does not need a distraction from the Epstein files, this was always intended to happen, and by shifting the blame to trying to distract from the Epstein files you miss how this is advancing very rational imperialist goals of eradicating any resistance to western plundering in the middle East.
I hate the argument of "just read theory!" As much as I believe one should read theory, just telling people to do so won't make it happen. However, there are clear limits to political instincts without solid backing in political theory and this is a prime example of it.
