casualties to avoid pressure from the public and Congress to end the conflict. Do you agree that this is possible or likely?

(7,820 posts)Same for deaths of American servicemen over there.
Trump: 'So sad, too bad!'
Same for the brainwashed MSM.
Look for news sources outside America, like BBC (UK), Al Jazeera, etc.
They all have websites and do streaming over the internet.

(8,860 posts)that Tel Aviv looks like Gaza now.
And that a missile has now hit Jerusalem.
The video I saw showed a butt load coming in and one got through.

(154 posts)AI and Bots make having any clue what is real anymore almost impossible.
Throw in some recycled footage from previous conflicts and it seems almost unrealistic for a typical user to sort out the truth from fiction.
Here's where confirmation bias starts in - it's human nature to tend to believe the propaganda that aligns with your preexisting belief.
Someone gonna be in for a rude awakening when this is all over.

(7,879 posts)They know that the US is not reporting their casualties, and likely know some are unaccounted for, is my guess. Tehran said something very odd: the US is reporting some of the captured as KIA.
But the US has only officially reported 6 KIA, all from the Kuwait strike.
I suppose we can just chalk it up to "There go the Iranians with their lies again," which is the official CENTCOM response, but that doesn't really explain the specificity and content of the supposed lie. I do think that if the Iranians had POWs hey would be parading them on television, but the whole "We have prisoners, but the US is reporting them as KIA" is somewhat more strange than that.
