    Trump: “TIME FOR PEACE”

    Incredible thing to say after willingly choosing to attack someone. American hypocrisy at its finest.

      Dude on CNN talking about how “now we are looking for Iran to come to the table for diplomacy”. They are really trying to set up concent for further involvement.

      I feel like I’m losing my mind watching all news media. So just a reminder for people.

      Iran attacked no one until they were first attacked by Israel. They literally got attacked by Israel days before a diplomatic talk scheduled with the US. I’m losing my mind over how blatantly our media manufactures concent for war.

          The lies are the same. But we are in a completely different America than 20 years ago. This is the actions of a dying empire. 2003 were the actions of a empire that thought it could never lose.

          The imperialism will be turned inward much much more this time. Fascism needs a war to justify it’s authority domestically.

            The really annoying/stupid part is, there’s a simple and better alternative, but people won’t go for it.

        I just can’t understand how someone can have such low self-awareness. We just seem to have pulled off an attack on Iran that likely dwarfs the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that pulled us into WW2. The idea that anyone would be remotely interested in peace talks after such an attack is just flabbergasting.

          It’s not that. They are forming a narrative for the American public’s concent. It’s not that Trump is dumb. It’s not that the news media is dumb. It’s that they think the American public is dumb (and they are).

          We aren’t at the point of “we are a superior race and need to kill all these Muslims” yet. So we still attempt to justify our absolutely unjustifiable actions. At least to the dumbest people of American. That’s who this is for. No one else.
