    Does it really need to push the idea that a new conflict is coming though? The US military moves people around with unclear (public) reasons often.

      Unclear? I feel like it’s pretty obvious 99% of the times they move people around to raise tensions and intimidate others. The 1% of the times to actually start a war

      What are you fucking talking about? The US moves the largest military in the history of the world, replete with nukes, banned munitions, chemical weapons, and a history of killing Innocents by the thousands including killing entire weddings and funerals in an attempt to kill single individuals, because of UNCLEAR reasons?

      What the fuck else does it move forces around except for force projection against the global South from which it extracts trillions of dollars of wealth?
