In Iran, the U.S. and Israel are employing tactics used in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the “War on Terror” and Trump’s recent attacks on alleged drug boats in the Carribean.

So in your opinion, the raping and murdering in Vietnam for example was less ridiculous or better?

The one thing is when the US government at least tried to look normal and blamed the ordinary soldiers despite also doing shit. And the other thing is that now the whole government is a whole circus that doesn't even pretend to have a valid reason to attack Iran and do what they do. My whole point is that the whole act of war was staged much better back then rather than this pitiful improvisation. And note that I haven't said anything about that war crimes were better then versus now. I just said that whole picture of the war was portrayed much better than current shit that is happening.
