Its interesting that Iran shooting down one (or possibly two) US aircraft in its airspace is being treated as an 'escalation'.... Given Iran is clearly under attack from US/Israeli forces, defending its airspace is not so much an escalation as a perfectly reasonable defensive response (and certainly legal as far as international law is concerned).

But the narrative remains, whatever the media may think its doing, one that privileges the US's positioning on the 'war'!

@ChrisMayLA6 the fact that the stock market reacts to Iran gouvernement announcements nearly as much as US ones seems to shows that traders are more critical than the US media.

@thias @ChrisMayLA6 Self-interest is a powerful teacher, even to folks slow and unwilling to learn.

@martinvermeer @ChrisMayLA6 Well, the US media is working hard at becoming irrelevant, I suspect Hollywood will follow suit…
