There's nothing the radical center loves more than war. It's bipartisan! Everyone loves war! We should be at war all the time! Should we bomb Syria? Of course! Should we bomb Azerbaijan? I don't know where that is, or who they are, but yes, we should bomb them, immediately, in order to bring them freedom and democracy. We have tanks rotting in the desert when they could be rolling through Asia in a brutal blitzkrieg freedom push!

Yeah but they can't even do the Obama thing where you claim to push for and end but actually just shuffle the money to the CIA's epic probably illegal drone assassination program

If you lie to a tame judge about the contents of a dossier he isn't allowed to view for natsec reasons and he says based on that information its ok to assassinate someone, is it really illegal?

We're at WAR how DARE you criticize the absolute necessity of our foreign policy? Do you hate ARE TROOPS??? Do you hate FREEDOM?!? Drone pilots put their thumbs on the line EVERY DAY, risking carpal tunnel and worse, and you have the GALL to say we shouldn't begin bombing North Korea immediately?

GLADIO itself isn't, but it and similar programs being used to conduct false-flag terror attacks throughout western Europe to defame the burgeoning left is basically a conspiracy theory. Not an implausible one, but without any real substantiating evidence.
