Related, from Historian Tim Snyder:

"Another possibility is that Iranians do nothing inside US borders, but Trump and his people pretend that they have, or even organize a fake terrorist strike themselves.

It is important to understand that such things do happen, and have been done by the people Trump admires the most.

Consider the 1999 false flag terrorist attacks in Russia, the bombing of apartment buildings by the Russian secret services, which began a chain of events that allowed Putin begin his march towards dictatorship.

Self-terror is a Putinist strategy, and it worked. This means that it can be presumed to have been considered by Trump, Putin's client in the White House.

Putin is one of the people to whom Trump listens."
