    We are clearly full throttle collapse but I don’t see how a blatant move like that could happen.

    The powerless electorate would definitely oppose any such action.

    Unsure if that would make a difference as we’ve gone full stop authoritarian. Fuck the US and this administration. Goddamnit.

        I love that movie. We don’t know the politics of it, just that a civil war has happened, and it sucks for everyone, and bring out the worst.

        Sadly though, I have a hard time imagining USA actually getting out of their current position without one.

      A sufficient Reichstag fire could do it. I can’t imagine how you’d pin a terror attack in the US on Ukraine, but with enough spin it’s possible.

      The nordstream pipeline explosion has been blamed on Ukraine. Maybe if they did something overseas, like an attack on Ramstein air base. Remember the Maine?

        Ukraine actually did it to hit russian gas revenues, it’s common knowledge nowadays.
