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.”
You know sadly like you already see in response here many on the left have already bought the MSM hasbara hook, like & sinker. Let’s not forget how much acquisitions we saw of major media network by major IDF donor Larry Ellison & Netanyahu was bragging about being able to control the information war on social media as a result. The sad truth is people are just so easy to manipulate & they have such a big desire to follow whatever they perceive as the mainstream narrative. Like if the news is pushing some dumb Hollywood sequel they in unison all start talking about it & their entire identity revolves around fads.
