There was a miscommunication of the word 'advantage' that made this convey something I didn't mean.

Specifically in the second instance, I meant 'tangible advantage or benefit' for anyone other than Trump personally or whatever given foreign interest he has most lately acted in the interest of. Obviously he does things that are self serving.

Regarding point 1: Do we expect retaliatory asymmetrical violence? If so, will one of those attacks be used by the media and the nashville industrial country music complex to create another Angry American moment to justify boots on the ground? We seem primed for it.

2: Good point. Less specific material reasons to want to assert that tier of control.

3: Footage of pre/post revolution is being used by right wing media right now on substack, tiktok and probably facebook and twitter, to test the waters on how does right wing america feel about supporting 'Regime change.' This makes me worried that the right wing think tanks know how to get people in the 'send my son to die in the desert' mood.
