I see once again the "U.S." government has declared another threat of war to be "just kidding." I'm sure the president will be angry with Netanyahu again here shortly. Then we'll have another threat of war, then it will be walked back, then there will be yet another bit of pretend "anger" and another threat of war and so on.

The "U.S." loves to go on and on about human rights while denying the right to food, health, water, and safe air. What good is the right to speech if you’re too busy to speak? What good is the right to assembly if you’re too sick to assemble? What good is a free press if your eyes are blinded by repeated toxic exposures? The physical needs of the human body must be the foundation of human rights because all other rights depend on those needs being met.

It's all being powered by war, death, and imaginary wealth.

3 Indian sailors killed in U.S. strike on oil tanker, minister says

The U.S. said its military carried out a "precision" strike after the vessel, which it said was carrying oil from Iran, failed to follow its instructions.

Yahoo News

The US Apache helicopter was in Iranian airspace when it was hit.

Has this simple fact been mentioned in any of the mainstream western media reporting on this latest round of escalation? Perhaps, but I haven't seen it.

A few days ago, Israel did not respond to Iranian aggression with a counter strike (as most mainstream media sources framed it). Iran was responding to Israel's ongoing aggression in southern Lebanon over the last few months, where the Israeli military has been bulldozing dozens of villages, killing well over 3,000 people (predominantly civilians), wounding more than ten thousand people, targeting (once more) medical facilities and first responders, displacing over 20% of the population, while announcing plans to make their occupation permanent. And Iran was responding specifically to Israel once more bombing a densely-populated part of Beirut.

For decades, western media have consistently misrepresented the aggressors (US-Israel) as the victims. Whenever one of the targets of their illegal expansionist/imperialist violence retaliates, this response/defence is treated as the originating act of aggression and (retrospective) _casus belli_.

History didn't start yesterday.

I hope the Iranian athletes will be safe in Mexico now since the "U.S." government may look for a cheap and easy "victory" against Iran right now.
