Sneak Attack

Israel and the US attack Iran: What happened in the first hours of bombing

Yesterday, February 27, 2026, was a date which will live in infamy.

Haven’t seen anyone else make this particular comparison yet — too much is happening, too fast. But I think it’s apt: A massive, unannounced, preemptive strike against a country with which one is in active, high-level diplomatic peace negotiations.

It’s harsh to say it, but it sounds an awful lot like 1941. Except we’re the good guys, right? And Roosevelt was still alive the next day to say those words about imperial treachery.

And, a separate issue:

Trump unleashes this, then tells the Iranian people to take to the streets. Sounds like he doesn’t have much of a plan beyond the immediate fireworks.

This does seem like the Epstein tale wagging the dog, doesn’t it?

That’s it for the day. More tomorrow.
