By bringing first National Guard Troops and then Marines to Los Angeles to quell the 'riots', Donold Trump hoped to create a maelstrom of violence that would allow him to declare another more heinous national emergency and install Marshall (sic) Law ( yeah I know it's martial law but Marshall is how his cult spells it on the internet). Los Angeles wasn't riots. Yes some miscreants always find a way to seek cover under protests and vandalize, burn, and loot...but the protests in Los Angeles have essentially been peaceful. But Trump hoped that Los Angeles would burn and he could take it as his Reichstag moment and take dictatorial control in the US. Didn't happen.
So plan B appeared, actually weeks early. Piggybacking on Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear enrichment sites and other military installations, Trump ordered US military strikes against three Iranian nuclear sites. At this point there have been no Iranian counter attacks but they are surely coming. If Iran attacks embassies abroad or middle eastern American military assets, certainly the war will expand. But what if they (as they are wont to do) unleash terrorist activity on US soil? Will Donold now have his Gulf of Tonkin moment and decide to start not only an expanded war but to take dictatorial control in the US?
For those who don't remember or are too young to know: Gulf of Tonkin and Reichstag Fire
