Why a war?

Because the Epstein event horizon is rapidly approaching.
Wag the Dog.


Even if the DOJ (Defenders of Jeffrey) lock up all they have in an ion trap, evidence will come out condemning TSF's complicity in the greatest sex and extortion scandal in history.

He is beyond desperate. This is his Ethiopia (If he didn't fail history, he sure didn't learn from it)

Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.


Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

NOW, WAR IS NEEDED TO TRY TO COVER UP HIS UTTER DEPRAVITY.

Which, when exposed will take down his entire empire and entourage, kings, heads of state, (ahem) judges, and others.

No ballroom or Arc De "Trumph" legacy.

Why drug smugglers?





And why now?



Others here think alike:
