What's "violently reckless" is the fact that we have hundreds of military bases in sovereign and independent countries (that are hostile to us) and are populating them with innocent Americans, waiting for these troops to get blasted to bits so the neocons have an excuse to start another WAR, so they can enrich their military-industrial complex donors and further their own imperial fantasies and increase their power over our lives. We don't even know that Iran bombed this base – I strongly suspect that the footage was either manufactured, OR the US government bombed…  Read more its own troops to enstill war-fever in the American population. Certainly, this has happened before. We know that in the 1960s, the CIA & FBI wanted to shoot down Americans so they could blame it on foreign nations and justify a war. JFK said no, so the FBI had him killed and planted the Oswald narrative. In the Gulf War, we know that the federal government paid an actress to lie before the US Congress on a live television broadcast that millions of Americans watched, about fabricated Middle Eastern atrocities, to justify a war – and it worked, but since then whistleblowers AND the freedom of information act have revealed undeniable proof that she was a government asset and we were scammed into war. The precedent is there. And don't you find it suspicious that just a few minutes after this happened, Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham, and the whole cadre of Neocon/Far-Left foreign policy elites were blasting their responses all across Twitter? AS if, maybe they KNEW it would happen and were silently waiting on their computers for the chance to sow the seeds of war fever? WE don't have answers, we don't know anything but what the government has told us – and especially in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic & the 2020 election, are YOU willing to believe the government? Have they proven themselves trustworthy to you?
