    False flag attack bankrolled by the military industrial complex incoming to drag the US into a war with Iran.

      You once again make the fundamental error of overestimating how much the fascists have thought this thorough. Trump wants this to be a performative war that will make contractors money and boost anti-Islamic sentiment, but this will instead skyrocket gas prices and drag us into a brutal future of terror. This will escalate into a situation of mass casualty against a foe that fully intendeds to never surrender.

      There is no one at the wheel. These decisions are made off of vibes and instincts from fascists that don’t understand how instincts serve them. They’re riding a wave, not designing the future. No one is really in control when the fate of the world was signed off to short-sighted selfishness long ago.

        I’m not sure how that would work, what with America’s borders essentially closed to anyone not an American citizen.

          Psst. The borders being closed or secure isn’t reeeeally true. There’s just so much coastline. And land borders. Automated scanning is imperfect, be it along a loooong border or at a loading dock.

          The most effective deterrent is still to not be a dick to your neighbours. … like, ALL your neighbours.

    State department drumming up an environment of fear just like they did after 9/11. I’ll believe it when I see it.
