"Mawden Iran". Get ready for rent a hacks and poll dancer pundit hawks to come out for Iranian regime change. Please don't mention the astroturf and false flag events. Expect marches in DC and the MEK cult pushed into the forefront.
Apparently Bolton's paid speeches for the MEK cult promising regime change are clever propaganda tools of the Iranians to fool you into thinking he wants regime change. realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/04/…
@washingtonpost and even @AlJazeera asks the question on every American's mind. Why the trolls bro? Why exactly does our government need to flimflam voters and the media to start a war with Iran? aljazeera.com/programmes/lis…
@washingtonpost @AlJazeera The campaign by the White House to ratchet up tensions in Iran is the classic social identity model of deindividuation. Like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Venezuela we impoverish and insult the nation then accuse it of being bellicose and backward.

The expectation is that people will be better off sanctioned, cut off, demonized and then invaded and plunged into civil war is a bizarre one that simply creates shattered nations. Yet direct threats from Russia, China and North Korea engender praise and tolerance from Trump.
Trump's policy is to create false conflict, declare a victory and quickly move on to his next tempest. The problem is that the Arab dictators and Israel are not going to let up. Read the rhetoric in Saudi "media" outlets and their "coalition" to survive. cnn.com/2019/05/31/mid…
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a direct result of US waging an economic war against Japan. We are currently in an economic war with Iran and although Trump thinks the current aggression agains Iran will somehow generate a "win". Iran is expert in second and third party effects.
Iran is able to facilitate and direct attacks via seemingly unrelated actors that directly impact the security and national confidence of the U.S. and allies. Beginning with the Beirut bombings/kidnappings. Israel/UAE and KSA are already at war with Iran. washingtonpost.com/news/worldview…
A war between the Arabs and Persians over oil opens up the idea of a coalition of Iran, Russia, China and Turkey and others to simply seize Venezuelan, East African, Central Asian and Middle East oil production and change the balance of world power.
That scenario would be too clean. Most likely is a series of missile and air attacks that simply degrade all nations in the Middle East, leaving Saudi Arabia and the Emirates looking like Libya but with no one and nothing to actually fight over.
