    The farce is strong with this one. CNN will continue pushing the narrative that Iran is a danger to the US, when they damn well know it isn’t. They can reuse all their old graphics simply by replacing the ‘q’ in Iraq with an ‘n’.

    Why isn’t Israel part of the non nuclear proliferation treaty?

    I looked up the tweet because I refused to believe 80% of Americans are in favor of airstrikes.

    https://x.com/Osint613/status/1935360062274552236

    80% of Americans don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. But when asked about airstrikes, 48% support airstrikes to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, and 47% don’t. 70% of Republicans support an airstrike, but 30% don’t. All this Based on a CNN poll that I’m sure is completely unbiased (lol).

    I don’t blame OP for taking a screenshot of a sensational headline. But this Twitter account criminally misrepresented the video that they posted.

    Americans are split 50/50 when it comes to airstrikes on Iran to prevent them from gaining a nuclear weapon. That is depressing and frustrating, but it is also so far away from 80% support for airstrikes that I can only assume “OS Int” is purposefully lying. The fact that everyone commenting on this tweet has obviously not watched the 80 seconds of video, is depressing, frustrating, and exactly what I expect from my fellow Americans.

    Assuming those numbers are true, then that justifies foreign intervention into the US to stop them invading another country.

      If our planet was remade into a fictional story and our country depicted accurately along with others (while obscuring telltale details), people would literally side against us.

      Our country’s birth is literally akin to the Orcish horde in warcraft invading Azeroth, and then never ending wars from its birth. Our wars span the globe and we kill at least a million people per war, with generals who deeply want to use nukes (Curtis LeMay literally wanted to drop nukes over 70 Russian cities to wipe them out, saying it would be a month-long third world war; MacArthur wanted to nuke China; there were even Pentagon proposals to nuke Vietnam).

      Can you imagine telling an alien invasion story from the perspective of the aliens, showing them like us, as supposedly ‘reasonable’ and committing horrific atrocities against us ‘but hey! That’s okay! Humans, especially the white ethnicity from the America region, are very violent; the peaceful ones among them will thank us as liberators!’; and also showing the families of their troops worried about the safety of their boys? You’d have scenes of the aliens killing people fighting back and depicting the aliens as the victims.

      Alien looks at young human fighter going for a gun mumbling ‘don’t do it’, and then firing: What is wrong with these people? I hate this place; why are they all like this?

        More than once I’ve had capitalist empires in my works described as “one-dimensional cartoon villains” and “grimdark” when I based everything they did on actual history.

          I’ve said this before but if I wrote a fictional evil country and based it on America/Britain/France/Israel, people would say I’m going over the top and being unrealistic.
