The strategy of tension (Italian: strategia della tensione) is a theory that Western governments during the Cold War used tactics that aimed to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs, and false flag terrorist actions in order to achieve their strategic aims.
In this case, the Deep State has no interest in detente with Russia, which the Trump Administration favored. It also has no interest in nationalist trade maneuvers against China, which the Trump Administration favored. So, they have politically destroyed the Trump Administration. They created the Russian collusion narrative and passed unconstitutional legislation to effectively end any chance at detente with Russia. And they have shattered this country across racial dividing lines in order to break Trump away from his nationalist base. He had to fire Bannon to save any face over this manufactured Nazi narrative. It feels to me that he must have made a deal with the Deep State in order to get the media to back off before they did even more harm to race relations in this country. So, now we are ramping back up operations in Afghanistan. They effectively handcuffed him with this Nazi shit. It's sad to watch.
