Unlikely for it to be Russia. I’ve heard it said that Epstein was an intelligence operative, meaning he worked for an American agency or an allied nation, neither of which would make him a Russian asset. Factions exist within the American ruling elite that want Russia to be an ally and factions exist that want war with Russia or to see Russia destroyed/contained. Those factions that want containment support the Ukraine war and those that want friendship have been sidelined.

The Iranian nuclear program is an energy program. We know this because independent inspectors were allowed inside the country to verify that they were only making energy. The last time the US claimed a country was developing nuclear weapons, a million Iraqis died and no nukes were found.

The man had one foot in the grave his whole presidency.

No, it means someone might walk away with some nukes.

One thing they leave out of the story was that healthy frogs would jump out.

It was only after the scientist gave the frogs lobotomies that they sat in the pot until they boiled to death. Today doing such an experiment would be highly unethical.
