    This is funny, but it’s also propaganda. You are viewing propaganda right now.

      All things all governments release or effect, and all things produced to generate or provoke thought are propaganda.

      Just this time the propaganda happens to be from the good guys in a conflict against one of the most evil empires in world history.

          Victims are always the good guys.

          Iran did nothing to provoke this war, and Iran has only targeted the infrastructure that has been targeted by the US and Israel.

          They have allowed the Amerisraeli Empire to dictate the legal targets of war, and the escalation path of war.

            Victims can always be bad guys. A burglar that gets shot by police is a victim, but still a criminal. That does not make him a good guy. Just that he did not deserve to get shot, only arrested.

            Saying otherwise is just tribalism and human nature forcing an us vs them narrative.

            The US and Israel uses that to their advantage, as does Iran, the Saudi, the UAE, Quatar, British Empire. They count on it in fact to get support for the bad things they do.

            Regarding legal targets for the war, its worth nothing that none of the participants have ratified the Rome Statute that would allow for them to be prosecuted for war crimes in the ICC.

              A burglar getting shot is not a victim, nor Iran is a burglar on any context. A more accurate analogy would be the US being a burglar that shoots the family of the house theyre robbing. The family shooting back the burglar in no way makes the burglar a victim.
