As distasteful as it is sometimes it's useful to turn on foxnews every so often to gauge what the thrust of
their propaganda is.
It has gradually been intensifying against Iran while any criticism of Israel is pounced upon relentlessly.
I'm sure detailed war plans have been worked on for years but the Trump administration has needed time
to work out deals with other nations before launching WW3. The tariffs were likely inducements to cooperate.
They still need a sufficiently spectacular act of provocation to blame on Iran before they can strike and this
most likely will dwarf 9/11 in scale and body count.
The public has been wearied considerably since 9/11 by the weekly spectacles of natural disasters, covid, mass shootings and assorted outrage porn so that it is increasingly difficult to keep the herd focused on something for more than a single news cycle.
This is why it may very likely be Hiroshima like in scale. I would stay clear of NYC, Chicago, LA, Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco in the coming year or two.
