That’s how it always is early on, then the propaganda machine gets in gear, and Americans turn in favor of the war.
This time there are Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and obviously Xitter, all controlled by the 1%, and they are already filtering content to support the attack on Iran. That alone is a massive propaganda machine. And most Americans eat it raw.
Also, Americans will decide whether they supported the war based on how well it goes after the fact. So if Trump bombs the hell out of Iran and kills a lot of Iranians and then whisks his military away before much damage can be done to it, that’ll look like a “win” and people love to be on the “winning side.”
Years later as the inevitable long-term fallout continues unfolding, they’ll declare that they never wanted to invade AfghanistanIraq Iran in the first place, of course.
No doubt the American military is capable of impressive force. And they will more likely than not completely dominate Iran. Israeli intelligence has often also proven very effective, so I don’t give Iran many chances against that combo.
But the problem is whether they can actually cause a regime change without boots on the ground? If not, it will have to be considered a failure. No matter how much they destroy Iranian nuclear capability.
