    Many possibilities.

    1. Justification for sending troops to Ukraine. This is less likely, as escalating the conflict in this direct way would be met with strong opposition from the newer generations that are against this idea.

    2. Justification for the military budget being so high during a time in which people call for cutting the budget. “How can we pay for healthcare and stuff when we need money for the military just in case Russia invades our ally?”

    3. The false flag narrative makes the US look good either way. If anything bad happens, even if Russia didn’t do it, the US can claim it’s the false flag operation that they’ve provided no evidence for. If nothing bad happens, the US can tell its citizens that the government prevented a false flag operation that would’ve started World War III, therefore making the US look like the saviors of humanity.

    4. It’s a distraction from the current economic issues in the US, such as inflation. If the people think that their government is saving the world from Russia, how can they really complain?
