Wild that Western media and politics all blame Iran for leaving the nuclear talks while they didn't do that
Is this what the Irak wat build up was like?
pretty close, though the am*rican public isn't as bloodthirsty this time
in 2003 like 9/11 yankees were baying for Saddam's blood
Very similar. I was thinking about it earlier so I listened to the intro skit to S1 Blowback and it added a new layer of comedy
Yes. (CW: David Frum)
Chris Hedges: War Deja Vu | The lies told to ignite the war with Iraq have been resurrected to ignite a war with Iran. The assessments of intelligence agencies and international bodies are dismissed, replaced by hallucinations.
sorta, it was slower. The politicians would tell each lie for a few days to a week. The buildup took months. They also coordinated their lies with other nations so they would repeat the talking points instead of the euros just ad libbing shit like "Iran cannot have a nuke" and "israel has a right to protect itself."
And the us was sure to tell the lies before they started bombing.
