    This cat…

    Told me the plan is to setup the USA for a National Emergency™. To skip the mid terms. He also suggested a false flag bombing in NY will happen. Trump is desperate because without his Presidency, he will be jailed.

    Then he yakked up a fur ball.

    Cheney very much had a plan. It was G W Bush’s job to play the ass-clown, since admitting to that plan would have been electoral suicide.

    “We’ll use 9/11 as an excuse to attack a country that had no connection to 9/11 and that has been killing any Al-Qaida supporters in their own country, in order for us to steer tons of money into contracts for Halliburton to rebuild the oil infrastructure we’ll destroy. And of course the defense contractors will get rich too. And meanwhile the oil price will be higher because Iraq will be offline. And Blair will help us lie about reasons for the war.”

      You sound like a crazy 🤪 conspiracy theorist, I bet you’ll tell me about how the ultra elite form secret clubs and eat babies.

        If a “conspiracy theory” doesn’t break the laws of nature, according to current scientific consensus, to make sense and only seems extraordinary and outlandish because it goes against universal moral and ethical values accepted by the majority of the Human population, is it fair to dismiss it by calling it a conspiracy theory? 🤔

    Fucked Up Beyond All Repair…

    From what I understand, the global economy can survive 2 to 3 weeks without Persian Gulf oil supplies and then it’s recession time. All thanks to the MAGA dipshits.

    If you are in the US or Israeli military, you are a baby killing piece of shit, and you should be shunned by your neighbors. Fuck veterans. Take their rights.

      Idk I knew an Israeli in the military who literally just played an instrument in the band.

      I guess its more noble to go to prison, but literally some folks in IDF are not murdering babies nor helping.

        If you clean floors in the military you are literally a member of the baby killers. People have choices. I guess it’s just more convenient to kill babies and pretend they’re innocent. Running their mouth about freedom or some nonsense.

            It’s not an argument. It’s just fucking true. What kind of question is this? Do you think going to prison is some kind of moral misdeed in and of itself?

            Yes, going to prison because you don’t want to partake in murder and mutilation is more ethical than murdering and mutilating innocent people.

            Sure, or go see a psychiatrist and tell them you’re suicidal, or go dig up whatever other excuse you can find to go teach at some rural middle school instead of greasing the wheels of the murder machine. They have more than enough rabid racists to fill the front lines already; every waffling centrist opposition voter begrudgingly driving supply trucks is still doing exactly the job the fascist government wants them to.

              Israel has forced conscription. If you refuse to go to the military (iirc when you turn 18), they throw you in prison

                I think they should go to prison, or defect, or flee, or anything but kill people in the name of a fucking government.

    I think his plan is to die and be remembered as the guy that started the war with Iran.

    He’s just gonna give that mess to his successor, and he’s fine with that.

    How long before he starts talking about a Draft? Because that’s DEFINITELY coming, but probably not until after the Midterms.

    There are a ton of angles and takes on this. I’m not here to proclaim that any of them are particularly wrong or right – I’m not a fortune teller and I don’t see the future. Having said that, this headline sort of feeds into my personal take on this. This was performed by an incompetent administration. It’s easy to tear shit down. It’s much harder to build good, strong things. The ramifications of these, and other recent actions, are basically a giant FUCK YOU to the next administration. And I’m sure they’re at least half expecting the next administration to be Democrats. That’s part of why they’re doing this. Create an insurmountable problem, that no matter how well it’s handled by the next leaders, is sure to be a political bombshell. And obviously, the fact that it’s a news cycle distraction from the Trump-Epstein files and the shitty economy pretty much meant this was bound to happen at some point. Not to mention the fact that if this becomes a bit of a slow boil, then it also becomes a convenient excuse to cancel elections. Hope I’m wrong, of course, especially on that last point, but it’s all too predictable.
