Maybe that is exactly what the Warmongers in Washington are hoping for, I heard this on Steve Bannon’s War Room the other day, we have 2 carrier battle groups in and around the middle east, Iranian proxies are shooting at our ships, what if one of our escort ships gets hit and damaged resulting in the deaths of US personnel.

Think back to the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, that incident resulted in deeper involvement of the US in the war.

Maybe the freaks in Washington need a war in 2024 to create chaos in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election.

I’m just saying things don’t always appear what they seem to be and this could one of those things.

You probably know this but for those who think we went from zero to 90 because of the Gulf of Tonkin event, they should know that JFK and LBJ already had 21,000 American troops in Vietnam when it happened.

The Tonkin attack happened on August 2 and LBJ had days before sent an additional 5,000 troops to join JFK’s 16,000 who were already there.
