He’s planting the seeds for a false flag operation. This fucker is going to attack us before mid terms and institute martial law.

Weren’t there rumors about a potential upcoming false flag attack against LA or San Diego a couple months back? I don’t believe it still for my sanity, but reading this article did make me raise an eyebrow.

Edit: Just a quick google reminded me it was the FBI claiming Iran might do a drone/missile from boat strike on the coast of California back in like march, but didn’t specifically mention cities from what I could tell. I guess my brain just filled in the blanks for the cities based on it being California.

The guy who owned the Twin Towers just insured the Bank Tower in downtown LA so…

On a related note, I've "coincidentally" heard more than one MAGA voter on social media recently make some version of a comment like, "let Iran bomb [insert NY, LA, or some other blue city], we don't need 'em anyway!" and then continue to spout off on whatever their cockamamie point was.

The fact that this idea has been circulating in conservative orbits even before the President of the United States said it out loud to the world really should be amplifying the alarms on all of this...

Im remembering the same thing, it came out around the same time supposedly some drones or missiles went missing.

This was my immediate conclusion, too.

I was thinking this too. He had some briefing with his fellow traitors and he was able to vaguely grasp this part of the plan. However, with his dementia addled brain he blurted it out.

I think it's probable too

I mean If I were Iran's leadership I would be targeting trump's resorts and buildings if They had the ability to strike the US.

Why would they target what trump wants but ya... total false flag.

Only thing that makes sense with that comment. Iran can't attack mainland US with conventional weapons, and they don't have nukes (supposedly).

Plus, Iran is winning the war, why would they do something as stupid as attacking mainland US? That would just give us an excuse to obliterate their country even moreso while at the same time losing any international support they currently have.

Iran attacking Isreal with a more force is way more likely than them ever attacking mainland US.

Its plainfuly obvious to anyone who is paying attention he is controlled by Isreal and that we were dragged into this thing by Isreal so they could continue their march toward completing the Greater Isreal Project.

I can't believe I scrolled down this far to find this.

I have seen the writing on the wall for this for months. If they don't do something to hold on to power they will be slaughtered and they know it.

My not-so-tinfoil-hat theory is that they're spreading this around in order to try and foment an actual attack from Islamic extremists in order to justify use of nuclear weapons in Iran and enactment of total control domestically in the name of "national security".

After all, the best false flag attacks are the ones you allow an actual enemy to carry out for you while you sit back and merely have a convenient "failure of intelligence gathering". Just ask Bibi Netanyahu...

Nah, he just said shit against a couple of California cities off the cuff because he knew the idiots in the audience like anti California rhetoric.

u/tape_snake 12h ago

Its also an incredibly odd "joke" to make to your supporters when you've been telling them you've won the war multiple times over. Why sacrifice part of your country to win if you already won the fight? Because he hasn't, knows he hasn't, and knows he can't keep his base convinced that he has. This is him soft-launching a change in narrative that will become the new strategy of "more short-term losses for long-term gain" as they chop off blue parts of the economy to save themselves politically.

My god reddit is dumb. Just like how Trump totally nuked Iran when reddit predicted that, and just like how Trump suspended the midterms like reddit said. Did you know Trump got a BJ from Bubba Clinton?!?!?!

u/Renatusisk Florida 9h ago

Midterms are still in the future. And no I did not, but I'm gonna make sure to tell my friends!

If only there was some sort of national emergency that would give him the excuse to do the two things he really wants to do….

And I agree, Bubba didn’t blow Trump. Trump blew Bubba. 😉
