The big picture: The U.S. has helped Israel intercept missiles, but made clear Israel is acting alone in attacking Iran. The U.S. message is that if Iran attacks Americans in response, it will be crossing a red line.

Ah, so we're going to see a false flag any day now, got it.b

Either going to be the Nimitz since it's going to be decommissioned or LA since he's got national guard and marines there already.

And these people are incompetent so it'll almost immediately be apparent

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

That's a bingo

[-] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Someone has been sounding the alarm that a false flag attack is planned for a few days now

Among others but I think that's the original source

We might get another USS Liberty incident to try to fool the US it was attacked by Israel's enemies.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Why bother... Does the truth even matter at this point?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Truthfully I've been hearing murmurs of false flag for this month specifically, so I'm expecting this. I've been hearing this for weeks, for June specifically.

And the word of Trump and his flunkies is worth what, exactly?

Could totally see this as just laying the ground work; placing American soldiers in obvious danger, practically begging for retaliatory fire, then when (not if) anything happens… they claim justification

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

And so the US sends a fuck tonne of planes and troops eastward just to make it a little easier to be "accidentally" dragged into WW3

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

So... is that why you are surrounding Iran on all borders? Are they hoping that Iran messes up and hits them by getting in front of their rockets?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

False flag attack he then blames on Iran is my biggest fear, and seems pretty likely.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Don't even need a false flag attack. Israel will probably just kill a couple U.S. sailors then Trump will ask Netanyahu what he can do to help.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

So the long history of Israel targeting American citizens means what then?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Real friends let each other genocide a bit, OK?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It was totally fine all those times Israel targeted Americans though... Just sayin'

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

"targets" ... well that's convenient, it could mean essentially anything the Regime wants it to. Are you an American who can't get their favorite Iranian food now? You've been targeted. Bombs away!

Good thing there isn't a place full of settlers with other nationalities many of whom are dual-american citizens nearby there. That could get dangerous

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

There's probably a few Palestinian Americans still left in Gaza, Isreal would be happy to sacrifice some or all in the name of war

"Trump does not speak with precision."

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

The war enthusiast is pretending :)
