I unconditionally surrender all of Florida on behalf of the usa.
Just call it even
They can have all of Florida as far as I'm concerned.
Let it slide? No. Medals would need to be given out.
Even if it's a target that's not widely popular, it will be used to push policies that hurt the people of the US more.
That's how we got the patriot act.

Trump is just trying to bring more people onto the side of supporting his illegal war on Iran by proposing an unrealistic risk of danger to the U.S.
A danger that he totally incited in the first place by being a bloodthirty moron.
He's trying to do "wag the dog" without a dog.
Is that because Noem murdered it?
~~bloodthirsty moron~~ Slave to Israel
Bibi said "Kill" and he said "how many?" We surely know who's calling the shots here, right?

I say he is preparing the people for an ‘act of terror by Iran’, meaning there is going to be a false flag incident. He can then use that to claim war powers and dismantle the last sliver of US-American democracy.
That’s a bingo

unrealistic risk of danger to the U.S.
Bro...
Have you seen the people in charge of anti-terrorism?!
It's a bigger miracle we haven't had a serious attack in the last year than it was that not a single hurricane made landfall last year.
We can't handle any type of disaster, and even routine shit are realistic risks of danger.
Risk of terrorist attack is sky high and it would likely be something huge that gets thru.
But...
trump isn't doing anything, he's not driving the bus and hasn't been for a while. The people who tell him what to do/say are trying to normalize American deaths to him.
And because he's trump and he just repeats what people told him a second ago, that's what he did when he went on camera.
He's never concerned about something or trying to reassure anyone. Whatever he blabbers about is what people were saying to him moments ago.

the problem is that the reason the folks on US soil have such.. douche hubris is because we’ve never got our teeth kicked in because there are a couple of oceans guarding us.
it is only temporary “unrealistic” a danger, Iran will figure it out and another 9/11 will happen and.. queue up the enrollment and bootlicking country songs for 20 years.
All the while … profit, massive profit, is had.

False flag attacks are coming. Mark my words.
Probably also "Iranian election interference" and a need to federalize elections so Trump can avoid the inevitable in November.
.... maybe?
With the disclaimer that I'm not at all sad that Khomeini was a casualty, Trump's illegal war against Iran is set to provoke some real attacks in, probably, quite short order.
Khomeini has been dead for 36 years. Khamenei is the guy who was just killed.

They’re already claiming the Texas shooter was Iranian, so it seems to have already happened.

Incoming. One Trump Sponsored false flag act of terrorism coming up.
And AI will “prove” that Dems and “Antifa” conspired with Iran to do it.

Hilarious watching them push "this isn't a war" over and over again just for Trump to constantly call it a war.

Why would this be a shock to anyone? He let hundreds of thousands of Americans die to covid.
He's super nonchalant about it. This is how politicians actually feel when they know you're struggling/suffering. There is no feeling.
He knows when 9/11 happened, Americans shit their pants and threw away all their rights to government.

"Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make"
Spoken like a man secure in the idea that they won’t make it through to him.
they’ll either allow an attack or stage one so they have a reason to skip the midterms.
I hope this acceptable risk becomes him.
Like a certain Charles Kirk
Charlie who? Never heard that name before. Must not have done anything important in their life.
He was great in The Shining

Some people say they want a terror attack, to get emergency declarations and steal the midterms. I just hope this is not true. A lot of innocent people would die for few remain in power. I don’t know what to believe anymore.
Fascists are in power. That's enough to believe in while you go look for historical examples of fascists being peacefully voted out of office. That ought to keep you busy until oh, his fourth term.
Ah, some real classic Trump being Zapp Brannigan shit right there...
At this point, I think it’s insulting to Zapp to make the comparison

See guys? I TOLD you this area was filled with angry bears!
The Reichstag fire (German: Reichstagsbrand, pronounced [ˈʁaɪçstaːksˌbʁant] ⓘ) was an arson attack on the Reichstag building, home of the German parliament in Berlin, on Monday, 27 February 1933, precisely four weeks after Adolf Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor of Germany. Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch council communist, was said to be the culprit; the Nazis attributed the fire to a group of Communist agitators, used it as a pretext to claim that Communists were plotting against the German government, and induced President Paul von Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree suspending civil liberties and pursue a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communists.[1] This made the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi rule in Germany.
"Oh noooo, the Reichstag is on fire!"
The follow-up is, "Why?"
We attacked them. Iran should retaliate on US soil. If they do, blame the trump administration and is its cuckold fetish for Israel.

It would be the stupidest thing they could possibly do. The war has like a 20% approval rate. If they attacked on American soil the cowboys would flood the enlistment offices.
