alt Hacker NewsI was hoping that the article would present some mechanism. It might well be true, but simply asserting "this will make him rich" is not interesting unless you say in what way. This is an example of what's in there:
> What does Trump get out of it? Perhaps Club Med Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower Tel Aviv.
That's just the beginning of the article but if you read through it's like that all the way to the end. This does not actually live up to "Operation Epic Fury Explained" as a title and has more the sense of a struggle session than of an explanation.

Yeah, this is really just a rant, there's nothing substantive here, other than a warning against assuming that the political/voting blowback will be meaningful, or assuming that Trump cannot hold out indefinitely.
“Operation Epic Fury might turn Iran into a luxury resort destination” is a compelling argument only to the small subset of people who are against luxury resorts on principle.
That’s not to say that there aren’t more compelling arguments against attacking Iran.
