Day 12: Wars, and Rumors of Wars #OccupiedAmerica #FakeCommanderInChief
In addition to Bannon saying that war with China is inevitable, National Security Advisor Flynn is now putting Iran “on notice”.
I give the odds of an armed conflict with China or Iran in the next four years at 8-2, if Trump stays in power.
A war with either power will result in at least the deaths of tens of thousands of servicemen that could be avoided. I believe the administration may push for an excuse for one as a way to unify the country and crack down on dissidents.
If that is the case, remember – true pro-military politics is avoiding war in the first place. I will never doubt your loyalty if you refuse to believe a war with Iran or China is in our interests (assuming you’re not outright helping the Chinese or Iranians, obviously). Peace is patriotic.
If, and when, war erupts – do not put down the signs. Don’t cave to populist pressure to rally around the chief. It’s all just a smoke screen to manipulate you and consolidate power by people who’ve studied just these sorts of tactics. Sorry, not smoke screen – given all the blood our servicemembers will spill (both because these are dangerous adversaries and because Trump has no military strategy skills to speak of) it will be a screen of blood.
Caskets will come streaming back to the states, and #FakePresident will stand at each one demanding we unite behind him. But it’s his war, and those soldiers and sailors blood are on his hands.

China possess hundreds of nuclear weapons targeted at our cities. The #fakepresident has said he’s willing to use our own arsenal in a first strike. A nuclear war with China would leave a billion dead, at least.
