Yeah but if my memory of the timeline is still right, they were already on full invasion of the bugs. Usually those events they needed those as the element to start the war, not just randomly to motivate.
While its certainly an idea, it has almost no evidence in its favor. None against it either mind you, but if we have to fill in huge gaps ourselves to make the "satire" work then its a failure of satire.
There is still the possibility that Paul Verhoeven intended it seriously with subtle critiques of liberalism, but saying so out loud would kill his socioeconomic status.
He made his reputation of being loudly and unashamedly critical of things like Fascism and America in general. In fact, he would call those two one and the same. He would not have been subtle about this, he openly called a more faithful adaption a pure "Trump Presidency."
He is a through and through European liberal in the most pathetic sense. And has people hanging on his words because he saw Nazis as a child so that makes him an "authority" on calling everything Fascism.
