    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.

      OP has made a prediction. Which amounts to a personal opinion. How on Earth do you expect anyone to show proof of that? That is not how anything works.

        Easy, if they are soooo sure of their prediction of a false flag attack, then they could:

        Provide in what way it might happen and when and the why with a carefully explained summary

        What puts they have as a result of the expected second order effects from the prediction (Ie, balls deep on Raytheon, etc) as they are super sure of betting against the future of certain companies and betting on favor of the future of others

        And what trades have they done to benefit themselves financially in the events of the supposed prediction.

        And if the prediction didn’t happen (Ie, the false flag attack) then we can surely say the native language of op is not only poppycock, but with a major on makeup bullshit as well

        The failed investments would only compound on the shame for op and hopefully teach them a lesson in predictions

          Dude crushing dissent is way too much work. Scaring people is far far more effective.

          Did you learn nothing from the post-9/11 era

    I’m pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of “Iran has nukes and the girls aren’t educated”

      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 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.

      Simple. Let’s let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!
