Once again, master-media-manipulator Trump has left the neo-con and Globo warmongers of the government-media complex with a bad case of (pardon by the mild vulgarity here) "blue balls." We are told that Trump's planes were actually "in the air"on their assigned mission to bomb Iranian targets; but Trump, concerned over the potential death toll, pulled them back at the last minute.
What's amazing is that the idiot press hasn't caught on to the game yet.
From the article:
"The abrupt reversal put a halt to what would have been the president's third military action against targets in the Middle East. Mr. Trump had struck twice at targets in Syria, in 2017 and 2018."
Now, after having once again established his "carry a big stick" credentials – as he had previously done with his fake attack on Syria and fake threats against North Korea and Venezuela – Trump is perfectly positioned to pacify yet another global hotspot. To repeat what we had already repeated just one week ago, on June 14:
"We read this statement (threats against Iran) as all part of the necessary theatrical smoke for concealing what is really happening. Trump will eventually meet with the Iranians to kiss and make-up, exactly as he did with Lil' Kim of North Korea after a similar theater of insults and threats (Rocket-Man, fury & fury etc)."
On another note, we cannot help but notice the disgusting double-standard regarding the government-media complex's indignation over Iran's alleged downing of an unmanned American drone (zero loss of life) – versus its callously dismissive attitude over the U.S. Navy's "accidental" 1988 shoot-down of Flight 665 – an Iranian passenger plane. That particular act of murderous negligence claimed the lives of 290 men, women and children – and the family members of the dead never even received a formal apology. Instead, Fake News, led by Sulzberger's Slimes, blamed Iran for "creating the tension" which led to the shoot-down. It wasn't until eight years later, in 1996, as part of a settlement in international court, that the U.S. finally issued a weasly-worded statement of "deep regret" along with some payoff money for the families.
In vintage "ugly American" form, just one month after the mass-killing, Vice President and Republican nominee for the upcoming 1988 Presidential Election, George H W Bush, scored many points with the patriotard crowd by defiantly declaring: 'I will never apologize for the United States of America, ever. I don't care what the facts are.'
Meanwhile, back in the shitty little state of Israel, warmonger Satanyahoo has declared, via Twitter: "In the last 24 hours, Iran has intensified its aggression against the United States and against all of us. I repeat my call for all peace-loving countries to stand by the United States in its effort to stop Iranians' aggression. Israel stands by the United States on this."
Thanks for your support of the good old U.S.A., Bibi. You're a real pal (rolling eyes).
We wonder – is this bloody bastard – whose wife just made a plea deal to avoid jail time for corruption, and who himself is facing fraud and bribery charges in Israel – finally realizing now that Trump will not be dragging the United States into war against Iran for the sake of Greater Israel? Wish I could see the look on that filthy swine's face when Trump meets with the Iranians for negotiations one day – hopefully very soon.
