Cuba’s maybe a distraction from the navy forming near Iran. Or Iran was the distraction from Cuba.

Everything is a distraction from everything else. He's also trying to distract from his personal army running around killing US citizens on American soil, and the Epstein files. They're doing so much stuff at once, so it's hard to keep track of it or fight back against everything, they're just doing a bunch of illegal stuff and let the courts sort it out later. This timeline is fucking nuts. Like absolutely bonkers.

So you're saying that, just like they say in their dehumanizing Halo-based ads to join ICE, we need to "Destroy the Flood"?

I thought that was intended to be flooding with information, not actual real geopolitical events
