In reply to the discussion: The Real Question: How Did That Hawaiian False Attack Alarm Happen? UPDATED! [View all]True Dough
(17,304 posts)25. Or, if you care to indulge in conspiracy theories...
There was lots of speculation that Trump was itching for war with North Korea over the past several months, which would be be catastrophic, of course. But it would also have taken the focus off of Dolt 45's various other issues and agenda failures.
However, things took a turn for the better recently with reduced North Korean missile tests and diplomatic talks with South Korea.
The impetus for war has been greatly diminished. BUT, if the Pentagon created this nuclear missile false alarm on the president's order and then that is blamed on North Korean hacking. Hmm.
I generally eschew the conspiracy theorists but I wouldn't put that one past desperate Donald.
