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.
Dude, can you imagine? They bring down the world trade center…again?
It’s really sad - back on 9/11, I thought “That’s horrible! What kind of evil country could hate us so much they’d want to attack our civilians!?”
Now, if another 9/11 happens, I may just shrug and think “…Yeah…we’re America. We deserve it.”
WHATS THAT? THE CAUSED GOP CAUSED 9/11?
The GOP caused Al-Qaeda by killing the founder’s friends
We only have like three more.
Sister, we got a sizable buffer!
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 dont really feel he has two full terms in him, but thats probably just wishful thinking on my part
I’m assuming that it’ll be 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.
Is that why he said he will declare his decision in two weeks, they need time to set it up
I’m so sick of reboots.
My parents’ feeds are already getting flooded with videos about how evil and scary Iran is
manufacturing consent.
if you have no morals, it is a good time to invest in Raytheon
Whatever happened to, “If I were President, the war would never have happened”
Or is that just a talking point he made up.
What, the most mentally stable and thoughtful US president ever is lying??? That would never happen. Daily
For 9-10 years now?
My condolences to the people living in the dystopia everyone else saw coming.
I feel less and less sad for people in the USA as time goes on because of exactly what you say. How did they not see it coming? HOOOOOW? And how did a third push for it, a third sorta try to help, and the other third maybe or maybe not just still doesn’t even know what’s happening?
Nothing coming out of Trump’s mouth has any value or truth whatsoever, and it never has. Pointing out his hypocrisy is a waste of breath.
No no no that’s Russia and Ukraine, which is Biden’s fault.
This is Iran, which is also Biden’s fault.
It’s amazing that with how much power that he has that he wasn’t able to rig an election.
I didnt tjink he was gonna start a war til he said that.
And a war on three fronts, no less. The yugest war.
“Seymour, the Reichstag is on fire!”
No mother that’s just the iron dome.
Well Seymour I must say you are an odd fellow, but you steam a good Islam.
If we’re lucky, they’ll blow up Mar-a-lago.
The white house? Woth no designated survivor?
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
Iran, I will let you murder me for the gay if you stop them from doing it.
hell i’m not gay and i’ll let them murder me for the gay as blood payment in the scenario you describe. tbh i’m really not sure how murder politics works.
Broke: murder for the money Woke: murder for the gay
They will have so much Pizza at the Pentagon !
But the gay bar nearby will be empty!
Iranian pizza is actually amazing.
I’m pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of “Iran has nukes and the girls aren’t educated”
They don’t educate the girls. that makes it ethical to nuke the girls.
Westoid warmongering logic
like in gaza where “they are mean to gays” so it is OK to genocide all the gays in there
I don’t know why they’re trying to push this narrative that Iran having nuclear weapons is somehow more bad for Western society than, for example, North Korea having nuclear weapons.
They’re acting as if no hostile power has ever had nuclear weapons before.
Something like 70% of gradates in STEM fields in Iran are women. Their economy can’t absorb the skilled labors because of the sanctions though, but that is their goal: To hinder democracy and a middle class that wouldn’t want to sell out to the west. What the US and Israel is doing is meant to do the opposite of what leftists want for Iran. And war is certainly not going to make any of this better.
they’re more educated than americans but let’s allow that get in the way of a good ol’ war on brown people
Simple. Let’s let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!
Kratos is a terrorist?
Arguable for his time under Ares, but the freedom fighter and terrorist line gets blurry when fighting a regime and he’s fought two, Greek and Norse.
Well… yeah.
I seriously doubt that will happen. The current administration has shown zero indication that they give two fucks about what the people want.
I think it will happen. People are dumb, it’ll distract them from the nokings protests
Although they’ve also shown willingness to lay the smackdown on cities for little to no reason
Still there are too many people, in the army too, so leaders can’t just do anything without planning.
I still believe 9/11 was an inside job to shift public sentiment and justify a war.
Meh, I don’t think there’s a need for conspiracy for 9/11 to be a legitimate terrorist attack. It gives too much credit to Bush and his ilk and down plays the political blowback of the US’s interventional history in the Middle East.
The term “never let a good crisis go to waste” has been around for a while.
Just as a random btw:
wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)
In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.
Your assumptions preventing from giving this serious consideration:
I’ll put the TLDR here: 911 was a brazen cascade foreign intelligence agency assault on the United States. The president and the cabinet were made aware of the impending attack. The attack A three stage attack comprising of wtc pentagon and the capitol. The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council. First Afghanistan, then Iraq then Syria than Lebanon and Iran. After each attack occurred to stop the other planes or let them reach their destination.
Most likely the US was also told that these were Arabs doing this, And that this foreign intelligence agency could stop them at any moment if they agreed to their terms.
Every year since 911, With every action on every front and the Middle East, including the genocide and the US backed insurgency of Syria, one can see this plan come to fruition.
Consider:
Your take is fine if you only briefly glance at it. Spend any more than 30 minutes on it and you’ll understand why we live in a clickbait, fast news distraction meme culture.
Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since. We’re living in Animal Farm, and the world has let the world’s bully do what it did out of gratitude for WWII and because you keep your worst enemy closer than your friends.
Inside job gives them too much credit, imo.
Fact is they already knew about Bin Laden and simply decided “you know, what if we just turned around for a second and, well, if something were to happen…?”
And to do that? A tiny budget cut here, a little policy shift there, and… kaboom!
Not so much that they planned anything themselves regarding the attack, they just lowered their guard enough to let it happen.
The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response “All right. You’ve covered your ass.”
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US - Wikipedia - …wikipedia.org/…/Bin_Ladin_Determined_To_Strike_i…
Pfft that was pretty much guaranteed when Trump took office. But because of his ego it’s gonna have to be bigger than 9/11
I think he’d do it if a brown person set his shoes on fire tbh
I’m declaring war on Iran because the Ayatollah fucked up my McChicken ☝️ and we don’t like that 👐 they say sir how do you fuck up a McChicken and I tell them it’s too much sauce and you can’t do that
In previous such cases they advertised the scenarios via news & movies/TV shows.
Anything on the radar now?
Trains/railroad attack?
Air traffic control attack?
Congress attack so they can just disband it?
Attack on protesters?
3 sonic the hedgehog movies in 5 years. We should fear the Erinaceidae
Oh shit. We’re gonna get some sort of fast spiky mammal based attack.
My current bet is on a widespread organized mass assassination attempt on multiple lawmakers. Hit them all at the same time, so their security can’t see the pattern and put them under protection before they’re killed. Off a bunch of democrats, then use the ensuing chaos to seize control and “postpone” the midterms.
I would say specifically Jewish lawmakers, both Democrat and Republican. That would fit their narrative well.
Proof?
Why does Trump need an actual terrorist attack. He can just show up on TV, flash an AI generated face-melting re-edit of a scene from the TV show 24, announce “We are under attack and must respond immediately”, and fire up the bombers.
At this point, I bet you that you could show Trump a deep fried still-image meme and convince him that we need to strike back.
Fox news is going to start caring about repression in Iran.
Trump starting a war to distract from his criminality and failed presidency and boost his ratings is 100% on my bingo card. Multiple times.

How about fuck the state and false flags organized by the state?
