Big Bang Theory

(it would have been better if he had stuck to fiddling)

Hmmm... puts on his tinfoil conspiracy fedora... a false flag attributed to Saudi Arabia of sufficiently large and, shall we say, vulgar atrocity would "justify" a shock'n'awe against Saudi Arabia of enormous scale.

The one thing that USA military can still do is toss a zillion cruise missiles and such against adversaries not yet equipped with superior Russian defense weaponry.

The USA populace would probably buy it but the rest of the world, hardly. The atrocities involved would piss off the entire Middle East since most ME nations have significant numbers of their citizens working and living in Saudi Arabia, but that doesn't mean they'd retaliate, for while the USA military has become mostly a paper teddy bear, we are a nuclear armed-to-the-gills polity with a perilously corrupt tyrant class that smokes the Book of Revelations in a Jesus bong and seems to believe that Pyrrhic victory -- or defeat -- are what God wants in order to know when to come down and fix things.

Like they're Roman centurions working the signal tower that let's Caesar know the barbarians have breached the Wall.

So, crazy as it sounds, and oy, it sounds crazy, it's par for the course with the likes of Pence and people who make Jeffrey Epstein seem like a nice enough chaperone for your daughter.

As if running out of oil, topsoil, and drinkable water,  losing half the animal species of 100s of millions of years' evolutionary lineage, breeding a generation of superpowerful pathogens by turning miracle drugs into major money makers rather than let the actual doctors run the show and govern the use of antibiotics prudently.

Oh yeah, we're working hard to turn Antarctica into the only habitable place on the planet.

So, hey, let's have a big old war on top of it all.

You read it here first, folks, and even if you didn't, it's better than reading it here last.

And so we move Closer To The Truth.
