US Attacks Iran 2026

[ohio jones]

I am tired of seeing both left-wing and right-wing propaganda dressed up in plain clothes and in non-plain clothes.
I agree there is a third way. But I am not seeing that from your posts.

Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it in yours either. It is possible both of us are actually more partisan than we realise.

As a matter of perspective, from the far right even center right can look like left at times.

But the thread is US Attacks Iran, not we attack each other. That can be done in Briar Patch if it must be done at all.

Just to be clear, zerohedge is one of the least credible sources I can think of. It's roughly analogous to RT.

If the WSJ is actually reporting that, I guess we could just evaluate what the WSJ is saying on their own.

Please enjoy the same news from a better (?) source.

I've seen about troop deploying - the 82nd airborne division- from Washington Post, NPR and Military Times all saying the Pentagon has confirmed this. I'm guessing this is happening? Tho I've also read that our president hasn't decided if he will have troops on the ground yet, then again these are parachutists so maybe that isn't considered the ground?

If you had told me ten years ago I would consider information from the white house on the same level of credulity as press releases from the Iranian regime, I simply wouldn't have believed it.

I'm curious how credible WWII-era wartime propaganda from the White House was at the time. Somewhere I read that those who are winning don't need to lie.

Something curious about this war is that it seems we have much more information about Iran's strikes and their results than we do about Israeli & American strikes in Iran. I don't think I've seen anywhere near as much information about what their strikes are accomplishing.

WWII propaganda wasn't very credible either.

No, it wasn't. As I recall there was threat of treason for news outlets who deviated from the official line.

The truths about places like Okinawa were very strategically hidden and all news about it was carefully curated.
