When faced with domestic/personal political problems, an easy method to sideline & slowly solve them, is to start or escalate #war.

It shifts the public conversation, changes the legal & political environment /interests, eases expanded military action at home, & creates opportunities to reward & align with certain factions (oligarchs, corporations, #military leaders).

Here are my thoughts and analysis on the subject in the shape of a table.

What do you think?

Took me a while to make this :)

Please share if you think this makes sense!

Oh, just remembered..

You may want to use Solnit's identifying of how Kremlin-entangled Trump's people are https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/02/time-to-confront-trump-putin-network

& the evidence that he's been a Kremlin investment for decades..

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book

AND how the Epstein files indicate that Epstein was working for the CIA, Mossad, AND the Kremlin, which is why he was untouchable, until he needed to be cord-strangled by "nobody".

There's a yt channel, Michael Franzese, a former mafia man, iirc the video has Epstein as a marionette, with a big dark hand being the puppetmaster above, as its thumbnail?

good grief he's got alot of videos on Epstein: that guy must really have got his goat!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nZPkD-ncqc is I think the one..

the FBI was ordered to back-off, because Epstein was an intelligence asset, which is why he was allowed "slap on the wrist" sentencing with 12h/day free-pass when the FBI wanted him put away..

But if they're all in the Epstein files, then that is relevant, too..

Trump's complaining about the "deep state" is gaslighting: HE is the evil deep-state, with Putin, Netanyahu, Epstein, & others all working together to murder uprightness from ruling our world..

The evidence is clear, but the pseudojournalism doing everything it can to push incredulousness at the actual-evidence, to push normalizing the gaslighting & calling-into-question the truth, it's sickening..

Whatever, enough.

I just want the "points & edges" of all such things as the usefully-terse work you did, to cut evil as deeply as it can, without making your life be under threat.
