I feel so bad for the people being deployed and their families. These people are being positioned to be triggers for a war against Iran. They believe it will be easier to manufacture consent for that war if the administration (whichever one we have) can point to dead Americans. Sick shit.

    They should point to the Americans killed by Israel

    There's plenty of dead Americans already on both sides of this conflict. But somehow the brown ones don't get mentioned.

    We both know the only color that will matter here is green. The second an American soldier is killed by an Iranian missile Trump and the GOP will campaign on full war with Iran. I honestly don't know what's going on with Biden, this is ridiculously bad for any attempt to reduce tensions.

    Manufacture consent? That's gotta be the phrase for what's been happening with media coverage about anything China related. The media really seems to be playing up the idea of a war with China so that the population would accept and support said war. We should not. I don't really like China and they've even ruined my favorite videogame, but war is good for noone.
