War in Iran : Trump's latest misadventure

Surely, This can’t be correct.

It’s correct that his office says so and that he is working from abroad. But that is also all. He is one of the obvious candidates, but Trump claims to have previously discarded him. He is under the patronage of Israel though, and their favorite, so who knows.

Anyway, to lighten the mood in this dark thread, forget Israel. The real instigator and manipulator ? Kosovo

(yeah, Trump claimed he wants to attack Cuba next today, again correlates with Kosovo)

Lol, Medhurst is at it with his usual idiot poison. That anyone reads or listens to that creep still is beyond prepostrious.

He literally lies and lies and lies and lies and lies in the most malicious way possible, yet some people some how miss out on that.
He is a text book malicious propagandist. The word nuance ? It is not in his vocabulary.

He’s increasingly become more desperate ever since Assad fell.

Meh, same shit he has always parroted. Spinning facts and omitting facts and in the end, there are no facts. Or he lies.

WSJ being a bit late to the party, essentially saying what I have been saying on this thread.

MSM is slow, slow, slow during wars. It is why I don’t use MSM for geopolitical/conflict news and updates in the first place and why Twitter is necessary.

It sounds like it could end up descending into an asymmetric/guerilla type conflict with disparate cells doing their own thing.

They’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t, in many cases. They have to corroborate and verify to the nth degree and if they get it wrong are slaughtered while idiots go , “aha, told you they were fake news all along”. Then they wait and end up reporting on news in a fast moving environment which means they’re basically regurgitating stuff that everyone knows already.

They should really have an Open Source expert that can sniff out disinfo and provide the commentary necessary in disseminating the information that comes out and release as close to real time as possible. I also use Twitter for these and also have a carefully curated number of accounts that I follow and I find this thread, and the Ukraine thread by far the most informative compiled source of accurate information out there thanks to yourself, @Magnus.

So if a small site like ours and various other forums around can have such detailed and accurate information shared in relative real time, a well funded MSM outlet should surely be able to have the same.

I don’t think that there’s somone who can state with specificity their reasons/objectives and strategy to achieve them, including Trump.

Which for this administration of inept, corrupt imbeciles is par for the course.
