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.”
9/11 is a fraction of a fraction of the horror the U.S has unleashed on other countries.
America is a den of self righteous fuckwits.
Sister, we got a sizable buffer!
oh god it's already fading
We only have like three more.
I'm so sick of reboots.
Now with AI everywhere, everything is a reboot/mashup slop!
Genuinely seems like 50% of reddit is now bots.
Whatever happened to, "If I were President, the war would never have happened"
Or is that just a talking point he made up.
What, the most mentally stable and thoughtful US president ever is lying??? That would never happen. Daily
For 9-10 years now?
My condolences to the people living in the dystopia everyone else saw coming.
No no that's Russia and Ukraine, which is Biden's fault.
This is Iran, which is also Biden's fault.
It's amazing that with how much power that he has that he wasn't able to rig an election.
Nothing coming out of Trump's mouth has any value or truth whatsoever, and it never has. Pointing out his hypocrisy is a waste of breath.
He forgets the last word as the next one comes out.
And a war on three fronts, no less. The yugest war.
I didnt tjink he was gonna start a war til he said that.
wdym? He would never do such a thing
He said that repeatedly on and off the campaign trail, and later as President during this term, regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. As if him being President then would have in any way changed Putin's decision to invade.
"Seymour, the Reichstag is on fire!"
No mother that's just the iron dome.
Well Seymour I must say you are an odd fellow, but you steam a good Islam.
My parents' feeds are already getting flooded with videos about how evil and scary Iran is
manufacturing consent.
if you have no morals, it is a good time to invest in Raytheon
It's always a good time to invest in Raytheon
They will have so much Pizza at the Pentagon !
But the gay bar nearby will be empty!
Iranian pizza is actually amazing.
I seriously doubt that will happen. The current administration has shown zero indication that they give two fucks about what the people want.
I think it will happen. People are dumb, it'll distract them from the nokings protests
Although they've also shown willingness to lay the smackdown on cities for little to no reason
Still there are too many people, in the army too, so leaders can't just do anything without planning.
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.
If we're lucky, they'll blow up Mar-a-lago.
The white house? Woth no designated survivor?
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease
Iran, I will let you murder me for the gay if you stop them from doing it.
Imagine if Trump got individually 9/11ed
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.
Suicide bomber bombs the entrance of one of his golf courses, trump immediately nukes Teehran
America bombs a country - Great military action
Country attacks back - Insurgent act of terrorism
I'm pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of "Iran has nukes and the girls aren't educated"
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
Simple. Let's let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!
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're more educated than americans but let's not allow that get in the way of a good ol' war on brown people
Is that why he said he will declare his decision in two weeks, they need time to set it up
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.)
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.
i dont really feel he has two full terms in him, but thats probably just wishful thinking on my part
Welp, I guess we didn't need a terrorist attack to justify war with Iran after all.
A rorist attack, thank you very much.
I still believe 9/11 was an inside job to shift public sentiment and justify a war.
Meh, I don't think there's a need for conspiracy for 9/11 to be a legitimate terrorist attack. It gives too much credit to Bush and his ilk and down plays the political blowback of the US's interventional history in the Middle East.
The term "never let a good crisis go to waste" has been around for a while.
Just as a random btw:

wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)
In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.
Tom Clancy also wrote about hijacking a Boeing & flying it into Congress.
Your assumptions preventing from giving this serious consideration:
I’ll put the TLDR here: 911 was a brazen cascade foreign intelligence agency assault on the United States. The president and the cabinet were made aware of the impending attack. The attack A three stage attack comprising of wtc pentagon and the capitol. The demand was to start wars and at least outlined by Netanyahu in previous months and years in front of the UN security council. First Afghanistan, then Iraq then Syria than Lebanon and Iran. After each attack occurred to stop the other planes or let them reach their destination.
Most likely the US was also told that these were Arabs doing this, And that this foreign intelligence agency could stop them at any moment if they agreed to their terms.
Every year since 911, With every action on every front and the Middle East, including the genocide and the US backed insurgency of Syria, one can see this plan come to fruition.
Consider:
Your take is fine if you only briefly glance at it. Spend any more than 30 minutes on it and you’ll understand why we live in a clickbait, fast news distraction meme culture.
Understanding 9/11 is how I understand US foreign policy ever since. We’re living in Animal Farm, and the world has let the world’s bully do what it did out of gratitude for WWII and because you keep your worst enemy closer than your friends.
Inside job gives them too much credit, imo.
Fact is they already knew about Bin Laden and simply decided "you know, what if we just turned around for a second and, well, if something were to happen...?"
And to do that? A tiny budget cut here, a little policy shift there, and... kaboom!
Not so much that they planned anything themselves regarding the attack, they just lowered their guard enough to let it happen.
The CIA produced many briefs for Bush warning about Bin Laden in 2001 before the actual attacks. Bush did not take any of these seriously, as summarised by one of his now infamous response "All right. You've covered your ass."
Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US - Wikipedia - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_Ladin_Determined_To_Strike_in_US
Or this is what they let people think
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.
Operation Northwoods. They were plannning false flags as long as the CIA has existed
Pfft that was pretty much guaranteed when Trump took office. But because of his ego it's gonna have to be bigger than 9/11
I'd go the opposite way. I don't think he'd care what the excuse is. I think he'd do it if a brown person set his shoes on fire tbh.
Kratos is a terrorist?
Well… yeah.
Kratos is Hamas.
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.
In previous such cases they advertised the scenarios via news & movies/TV shows in advance.
Anything on the radar now?
\
What are official sources showcasing as an easy target nowdays?
Trains/railroad attack?
\
Air traffic control attack?
\
Congress attack so they can just disband it?
\
Attack on protesters?
3 sonic the hedgehog movies in 5 years. We should fear the Erinaceidae
Oh shit. We're gonna get some sort of fast spiky mammal based attack.
My current bet is on a widespread organized mass assassination attempt on multiple lawmakers. Hit them all at the same time, so their security can’t see the pattern and put them under protection before they’re killed. Off a bunch of democrats, then use the ensuing chaos to seize control and “postpone” the midterms.
I would say specifically Jewish lawmakers, both Democrat and Republican. That would fit their narrative well.
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.
Except it's the Trump administration we're talking about here. So they'd fuck it up in some way.
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.
The US invented this new technology called aircraft hangers
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?
Congress attack so they can just disband it?
They already tried that one.
Twice this week, yeah.
Fox news is going to start caring about repression in Iran.
Why does Trump need an actual terrorist attack. He can just show up on TV, flash an AI generated face-melting re-edit of a scene from the TV show 24, announce "We are under attack and must respond immediately", and fire up the bombers.
At this point, I bet you that you could show Trump a deep fried still-image meme and convince him that we need to strike back.
Trump starting a war to distract from his criminality and failed presidency and boost his ratings is 100% on my bingo card. Multiple times.

Proof?
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
your meme is smudged, maybe wait a bit for it to dry before grabbing it from the meme printer
