I just had a crazy thought on the nuke Iran saga

[nonconformist]

Could it be that they are hoping that Iran will actually ramp up plans to create a nuclear bomb, and become more open about it, claiming that they need to defend themselves from a nuclear attack by the United States? That way, it gives the U.S. more of an excuse, reason, to attack Iran preemptively?

Are they getting this information out there, covertly, so that they can fool the Iranians into being brash so that they can win a propaganda war both here in the U.S. and worldwide? Like a schoolyard bully, goading it's enemy until they threaten to hit them so they can run and tattle to the teacher?

Hmmm.

Just a crazy thought I had.

2. I posted something similar a couple of days ago

Guess I'm having crazy thoughts, too. :D

It looks to me as if the current u.s. regime is trying to provoke an attack, of any sort, against the u.s. in order to justify our using "pre-emptive" force against Iran.

I hope I'm just being paranoid.

3. Me too, me too

But it does fit the MO of this regime to pull something like this, doesn't it?

Perhaps they know we're not quite ready yet? :shrug:

6. This assumes the Iranians are incredibly stupid and gullible.

There's no way to predict their reaction. I say no.
