Kratos is a terrorist?

The easiest attack to false-flag would be an automated drone attack against a stateside US military base. Remember that Ukraine Spiderweb drone attack from a few weeks back?
Ukraine built shipping containers with attack drones and retractable roofs. They contracted hapless Russian freight operators to deliver these shipping containers close to Russian air force bases. Then they remotely activated them, retracted the roofs, and had the drones take off to attack Russian airplanes just a few miles away.
This kind of attack would be trivially easy to false-flag. At least with a false flag in-person terrorist attack, there are people involved. You can dig into the backgrounds of the actual attackers and maybe uncover links to intelligence agencies.
But an automated drone attack? Just drop off a shipping container near a military base at night. Have the drones fly out in the middle of the day and attack some noncritical base or military infrastructure. Maybe have them blow up some planes that were set for decommissioning soon anyway. Maybe kill a few expendable soldiers in the process. Then fake and release some shipping manifest to tie the attack to Iran.
It's a fantastic false flag attack method. It would be nearly impossible to prove as a fake. And it's the kind of attack that military planners are already shouting the alarm over, as we've seen just this month how effective such an attack can be. Hell, the CIA could probably even be able to get a hold of some Iranian drones for the project. Russia has used a fair number of those in Ukraine, and I'm sure a good number have been downed or captured reasonably intact. The CIA likely already has actual Iranian drones. They could simply use some of those in a false flag attack.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]An attack on the military would make a lot of sense. Trump needs to manufacture consent within the military before he can reliably use them to eliminate protests. So this ticks all the boxes. Can't be small scale though. You need a significant death toll, you need spectacle, horror and shock. Needs to be a military installation in a highly visible location. You have to put on a show. Still wouldn't significantly reduce the US's military capacity, and you can bet it's a sacrifice Trump is willing to make. Especially after that disappointing birthday parade.

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.

What do you need to live? Water.
What are the great lakes full of? Water.
Lake Superior thinks it's above the rest, a clear target for an attack on the nation's water supply... By blowing up Lake Superior!
So a sharknado attack?

Except it's the Trump administration we're talking about here. So they'd fuck it up in some way.
The drones would be gold painted & wearing maga hats?

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.

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.

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.
I guess it is more "no power directly hostile to Israel in the Middle East"

Is that why he said he will declare his decision in two weeks, they need time to set it up

Reminds me of a joke scenario that really tickles me. Trump's going to make a grab for power. He knows he needs to have a "Reichstag fire" moment. However, he's too stupid to actually understand the meaning of that. So he indeed has his Reichstag fire moment. He arranges arranges to have the real Reichstag, the actual modern German parliament building, set ablaze. He burns down the modern Reichstag and is then befuddled when it fails to produce the political effects he wants.

But a good terrorist tho right?

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.

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.”

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.

i dont really feel he has two full terms in him, but thats probably just wishful thinking on my part

At the time of the election I lived in Utah, for those who don't know Utah is a heavily republican state. Outside SLC county, the state is majority conservative. My family voted for Harris, but honestly there was never a chance Utah as a state would go blue since the 1970s. In the end, for those that live outside the swing states (the purple states that decide elections) there is little chance of influencing the election. I'm both trans and bisexual, I fear for the state of this country. I didn't want this
I'm on Medicare and Medicaid and the budget bill would stop my access to gender-affirming care. I wouldn't be able to be on HRT, and I would probably have to live without the surgery I've wanted for so long.The issue I’m having is that yours is a country which sees the far right as something that will always exist with such power. I know the mechanics of it all, what I’m routinely shocked by is the back that the bar is on the floor and the country as a whole just cannot seem to get over it. The Democrats should not be the best you really have to offer, they should be your right-wing party and they should struggle but instead the USA handed a dictator the popular vote and a third of the place didn’t even participate either way.
It isn’t the existence of good people, it’s the complete domination by evil, or even just apathetic, people. I’m genuinely sorry that you’re suffering but, especially as a Canadian, it does not change my opinion about the landfill inferno that is the USA.
