So, #Israel decided to play real-life #SimCity with #Lebanon, leveling villages like they're just outdated pixel art. 🚜💥 Meanwhile, The Guardian serves up its usual word salad, hoping readers can find the actual story hidden between the links and subscription promos. 📰🤦‍♂️

I am going to call out the media. Obviously, I am watching ABC NEWS (AU), but they have consistently reported Trump's comments as a "warning" this morning.

This is a misrepresentation of those comments. He is making threats. This is consistent behaviour we have seen from Trump. They are not warnings, but threats.

As I have typed this, even the newsletter came in showing how the ABC is reporting this. Iran threats, the US warns.
