MFer is so delusional he now thinks he’s Captain Jack Sparrow.
They're trying to provoke a military response that will be the pretext for war for 2 purposes:
Distract the public from domestic issues. President's usually get an approval ratings boost during war time too.
Let the new MIC that's embedded in this administration test their new toys (Anduril, Palantir).
And the rest of the country is just going to let them do it too.
