The gap between what actually happened with the genuine incident and the claimed one has me seeing the claimed one as an ersatz of the real one. Which would, grimly enough, actually make it somewhere between Gleiwitz and the Gulf of Tonkin if that were the case. Trump is aching for a war with people who've spent the entire time since 1979 learning how the USA does what it does, had literal experience against its ground troops thanks to the Iraq War, and who have a much bigger country than Iraq with four times the population, when the Iraq War nearly shattered the US economy.
If I wanted to fuck the USA as badly as Nicholas II fucked Russia, an Iran War on a big scale would be precisely how I'd do it.
