Danger at our doors!

Donald Trump needs war to survive. Bolton is on board itching to attack Iran. Soon there will be a false flag excuse to attack Iran and the world is screwed! Thank you American voters and non voters for your lack of reason and intellectual curiosity. As long as our military is attacking all other issues are non existent and Trumps approval goes up. Thank you non-stop war supporting media.

Bolton avoided Vietnam duty - Daily Kos
https://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/1/110814/-
Apr 29, 2005 - So it's entirely unsurprising to read the following about John Bolton, Yale '70, in the Yale Daily News: Though Bolton supported the Vietnam War, he declined to enter combat duty, instead enlisting in the National Guard and attending law school after his 1970 graduation. "I confess I had no desire to die in a ...

They will both be pushing us hard to invade Iran. We have the technological ability to be even more effective than the impressive Viet Nam protestors.

Trump, Bolton, Cheney, Nugent, most everyone at Fox News etc. What get's me is that they attack Republicans like Mueller and McCain and the Republican base eats it up.

The chicken hawks and the Republican base use the military and the flag as a political prop for their ambitions, and to secure their power.

None of the 58-60 percent of voters that despise him will fall for this, if anything they will hate him all the more. So sorry for the people of Damascus they just got shit on by the biggest shitter in the world

by calling up our US Senators and Representative and registering strong opposition to any war. This can then be followed up with an email and then perhaps daily calls.

In the meantime, we can join protests and marches and generally make our opposition vocal and visible.

already have approval for war from the Iraq war resolution? Something about fighting them where ever they are? Seems like that resolution was too broad yet it was voted for🤨

A few ways:
1. Cyber attacks on our power systems or grid, industry, banking and/or government.
2. Even worse election meddling and sowing of discord via the internet.
3. Attacking Ukraine or a Baltic state (perhaps triggering a NATO reaction).
4. Sinister measures similar to the UK nerve agent poisoning.
5. Shoot down one of our aircraft (one that of an ally) in a clandestine fashion.
6. Cause a natural gas energy crisis in Europe.
7. Release Kompromat on Trump and/or many other of our politicians (could be good or bad, LOL).

I'm sure I've just scratched the surface!

Busy shopping area. One guy they asked if he was worried about bombings happening. He said (in broken English), "No." Interviewer: Why? Interviewee: "Russia."

I think he meant that they have Russia protecting them.

They are so afraid of losing sponsors. Just proves that $$$$$$$$$$ is the driver-not truth.
