    FYI, Israelis aren’t allowed to leave Israel now, because playing the victim card requires using them as human shields. 9/11 was greatest US empire boost over Americans in history, and DNC firmly backs war and empire enslavement of Americans.

    That’s why right wing social media is going had on making Iran the bad guys and evil.

    So even though they don’t want war and are currently complaining about the thought of it, they’ll bend over for it in short time.

    The mental gymnastics will be amazing.

    Gotta save money. Government needs to cut everything including any social care. But also needs to spend more on deporting babies with cancer.

    And you know moving an expeditionary force around the world isn’t cheap either.

      The money goes to the war hawks, not the teenagers that actually end up fighting and dying. That’s why it keeps happening. People in power put a price and bodies and they’re entirely happy with the payout. Doesn’t cost them a drop of sweat, an inkling of blood, a modicum of effort. Just sign here and unleash those kids to the grinder. Sweet sweet money comes from their deaths. How honorable.

      Everything is ‘2 weeks’. It’s the only time frame he gives. Probably read somewhere that the news cycle is only 2 weeks so he thinks everyone will forget by then. (They will.)

    I’m assuming that it’ll target some property of Trump’s that has recently had its insurance significantly bumped.

    Trump gets his excuse and the insurance payout and his rabid supporters get further evidence of his exceptionalism.

    Yes. Not only that, but to pave the way for Trumps third, fourth, eight terms, and a sweeping presidential powers bill to coast through Congress that makes Patriot Act look like the Bill of Rights.

      I’d go the opposite way. I don’t think he’d care what the excuse is. I think he’d do it if a brown person set his shoes on fire tbh.

    Trump starting a war to distract from his criminality and failed presidency and boost his ratings is 100% on my bingo card. Multiple times.
