and use the war as an excuse to interfere with the 2018 midterm elections. This thread was locked as being "kooky" and "will never happen."
John Bolton is now in the cabinet.
Someone want to tell me again that Trump is not planning to get his Russian allies to stage a Gulf of Tonkin and get us into a War and then use the war to limit our civil liberties and have Russia stage some "terrorist" acts in a few Blue cities in Red states so that the National Guard can be called out right before the elections and voters can be dissuaded from voting but it will not matter because it is up to Congress to decide whether to certify the results of any particular election and if the Secretary of State of a red state wants to say "I see nothing wrong with counting the vote of (say Ohio) without the urban vote" Congress has the power to rubber stamp that decision. Meaning that red states will be able to disenfranchise certain voters (urban ones) and keep Congress in the hands of Republicans.
Go ahead. Alert on me. This is not impossible. It is all legal. It is exactly the kind of thing that the godfather of the Russia mob who dreamed up 2016 would come up with to preserve the Trump administration. And if we are not vigilant, we might find ourselves embroiled in a foreign war that will kill lots of people---our own as well as citizens of other nations---even if the election disruption plan is a long shot that probably will not work. Because what does Russia have to lose?
Wake up and smell John Bolton. This man has only one purpose. He was put on this planet to start wars. If he is in the Trump White House, the Trump White House plans to go to war.

Trump might need a war for the midterms, to distract from Mueller/Russia, or to distract from his "female problems." ( )
What really scares me is the possibility of a false flag op to hurt US citizens to ramp up bloodthirst for a revenge war.
