Barak Ravid reported for Axios on Wednesday that, with a deal between the US and Iran appearing increasingly out of sight, “the Trump administration is closer to a major war in the Middle East than most Americans realize” and “It could begin very soon.”
Sources told the outlet that “A US military operation in Iran would likely be a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war than last month’s pinpoint operation in Venezuela.”
Media ignores own ability to highlight issue, criticizes other media and only group trying to stop all the other things, ignoring the group needed to actually stop things.
Title leads one to assume all is doomed, stay tuned.
Common Dreams could write “Where are the Republicans aiding Dems on Pushback of Trump’s War on Iran?”.
Aside from Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, and maybe the squad, who is pushing back meaningfully on this?
Dems pushing against war? Is the author of the article high?
Media seems to care about sensationalism. What someone says is so much more “newsworthy” than what they actually do.
They also very much treat each statement as if it were fact, and do not push back on them.
If a war starts ppl will be glued to their televisions. =profits
As long as not many american soldier terrorists dies dems are fine with it
