21. I'm reminded of the Gulf Of Tonkin Incident.
Fri Feb 28, 2025, 05:02 PM
Feb 2025

Seeking a reason for war, the US fabricated some facts to stoke Americans into the interdiction of Vietnam.
Like the babies being dumped out of incubators by Hussein.
Like the USS Missouri that led to the Korean War.

All those reasons have some level of suspicion, but we were against Russia then.
Now Trumpers will double down on hating Zelenski.
