    “Translation, we can fight an 8-day war, and then we would have to go nuclear,” the former Pentagon adviser argued in an X post.

    Oh my God, that’s the plan.

    The US could run out of missiles in next few hours. It won’t, but it could if it wanted to. What a stupid metric to try to define countable objects.

    Iranian propaganda is not the best source for this.

    It may very well be true, this is not the org to believe on it.

          And you tag everything not sanctioned by the empires media tendrils as “garbage”.

          Aren’t you one of those people who let’s MBFC tell you what to think?

          They cite Douglas MacGregor

          US Naval Institute:

          Col. Douglas Macgregor USA (Ret.) is a decorated combat veteran with a PhD in international relations from the University of Virginia. He is the author of five books and is the executive vice president of Burke-Macgregor Group LLC, a defense and foreign policy consulting firm in Northern Virginia.

          Its clear friend, you have closed your mind to anything the empire deems as bad. I do hope that you can find your way

            I have closed my mind to Iranian, Russian, Chinese, Ukrainian and Israeli state propaganda sources, as everyone should.

            It’s a bogus news organization, if you can’t see that, then I’m not the one with vision problems.

              So you’ve basically admitted you’re an extreme Chauvinist with no interest in impartiality.

                LOL I’m interested in nothing but impariality.

                State run media, by definition, is not impartial. Doubly so when talking about Russia, China, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran, etc. etc.

                  Doubly so

                  So I’m used to you contradicting yourself from one post to the next, but now you’re doing it from one sentence to the next.

                  And let’s be honest “impartiality” just means "agrees with your preexisting pro-western bias

              You do not find it the slightest bit weird that they are all non-western sources? They’re good sources fighting against wrongful discreditation by the empire. Open your eyes and ears to what places like New Propaganda Radio (NPR) or New York Lies feed them!

                Non western sources are fine, sources from authoritarian governments are always sus.

                Example:

                Al Jazira, for the most part, is reliable*

                *As long as their reporting isn’t about Qatar or Qatari interests. They have a huge blind spot there due to their ownership.

                Kyiv Independent has some of the best reporting out of Ukraine.

                Kyiv Insider is Ukrainian state propaganda and should not be trusted.

                  So your standard is completely arbitrary and is just accepting the sources that agree with your pre held pro western opinion

                  I was going to reply then I realized your username. You’re the infamous zionist jordanlund. Yeah it’s pointless talking to you on this subject when you are on the payroll to reject all arguments
