    In their eyes, since they launched a preemptive strike against Iran, any retaliation is Iran doing what they preemptively striked them for.

    You know, like the cops that arrest you for no reason so they can charge you with resisting.

    Seriously though, chuds actually believe shit like this. Whenever I self-flagellate by posting about being homeless and/or a drug addict in a forum full of NIMBYs/normies/suburban fash, a lot of times they do this weird as fuck thing where…they start attacking me ruthlessly, picking on me and bullying me, and then when I bite back or try to call attention to the fact that I’m being treated so fucking unfairly/ruthlessly, they have this reaction almost like they’re legit blind, where they just openly victim-blame me, telling me it’s my fault I’m being ruthlessly attacked by them. It’s like I’m in some kind of time warp where 2 + 2 = 5.

      I see that in the 1A auditor Jeff (in the US) who stands in affluent neighborhood entrances on public sidewalks with a “God Bless the Homeless vets” sign and waves at people telling them to bless the homeless vets. He’s exercising his 1st amendment right while baiting people to get cops on him to see how they handle the situation.

      It’s disgusting how many of these assholes stop and give him a hard time and treat him like garbage. “We don’t want you here, go somewhere else. This is our neighborhood, I live here” blah blah blah. He isnt even begging for money, they just assume. They probably go to church every Sunday and act like real Christians too…

    Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi went on NBC News to discuss the war and was actually asked by co-anchor Laura Jarrett how Iran can justify striking US military bases in the region.

    “Why is attacking US military bases abroad justified?” Jarrett asked after Araghchi said that Iran will not seek long-range missiles capable of striking the United States.

    Corpo media is just truly broken. I don’t even think you can say it’s working for its intended purpose rn

      It’s trying to, but it’s making excuses for the inexcusable.
