I was entirely expecting this to happen so they could wage another forever war. I’m thankful they haven’t done it yet, but given they have a habit of lying and starting invasions, I’m a bit surprised it hasn’t happened.
I hope I’m not getting to conspiracy-brained here.
Why drag yourself into a persistent war when you can just drop some bombs and wave some flags every now and then to satisfy the American bloodlust without causing war-weariness?
