Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

It's especially important to be skeptical of viral stories that perfectly validate your worldview and prove just how blatantly horrible the bad guys are. Christian Nationalism is a serious problem but that doesn't make every story about CN true. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/before-you...

What infuriates me far more than these charlatans is the media accepting the premise of their statements and going off to investigate whether or not Iran has been a threat for years.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

UK politicians:

The Taliban are murderous, Assad is a tyrant, Khamenei is a demon.

Also UK politicians:

We must stop all these illegal immigrants who are just economic migrants and bogus asylum seekers coming to the UK.
