Original Times interview quote:
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
I’m… honestly both in awe and aghast at how fucking blatant the regime is being about it. They’ve literally shut down the team that is in charge of addressing and categorizing security threats to the US originating from Iran immediately before starting a fucking war with Iran. Like… I just… what the actual fuck. I can’t even.
Between this and the documents leaked about their plans for the election, the intent couldn’t be more obvious if they put it on a fucking billboard. I hate that it comes down to such imbecilically stupid and petty US political bullshit like that, and that it’s killing so many people and fucking up so may other parts of the world… but seriously, I really think that was a massive part of their rationale here. It’s a distraction (operation Epstein fury), combined with creating an extremely obvious opening for an asymmetrical/terroristic threat that will be used as a justification for removing the electoral process. That’s the plan.
He is almost literally saying, “Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”
Oh no I hope they don’t hit Mara Lago that would be a tragedy
He doesn’t give a fuck. Flat out. No one else matters in his reality.
It would be so fucking funny if Iran just bombed Mar a Lago and other Trump properties. Just fuck with him personally.
He wants it so he can declare martial law.
Said it before, but I don’t believe for a second this wasn’t discussed during his private, illegal meeting with Netanyahu.
Think he’ll fake an Iran attack in US soil right before the midterms to justify whipping out the insurrection act or whatever new “Big Beautiful Tank Bill” he comes up with?
I’d honestly be more surprised if he didn’t try something along those lines.
He needs another 9/11 to justify more authoritarianism without pushback.
I’m pretty sure they let 9/11 happen too. Bush administration did a good job of sweeping it under the rug. This country in general has perfected the art of playing victim by metaphorically poking the neighbor’s dog with a stick so it can point to the dog bite when the cops show up to a dead dog and a pissed off neighbor.
Isreal does it pretty well too apparently.
More like allow it to happen. Whatever IT is.
WE should be Worried about IRAN attacking US SOIL!
-Congress who JUST Voted to NOT Stop this!
PEAK FARQUAAD
Clown country
Is that a threat, Donald?
