Nobody will know if you stole your take either, let alone care. Even if you give people backlinks, nobody clicks them. Cats and dogs are living together.

Your comment was interesting but a complete non sequitur to start with the claim "I disagree".

Nothing you wrote refuted the claim that the current "war on Iran" is more of a terrorist operation. Ukraine has boots on the ground so it's not really comparable to Ukraine.

The terror bombing etc is their war strategy it has worked before, I don't think it is illustrative to describe it as not a war. That would be true of many military "interventions" they have conducted recently. Not something confined to terror bombing of Tehran here, that's what's being publicized in western outlets as they can feign outrage, and it is the only thing the US can pass off as a success.

The trick has been running a military the global south pays for and losing wars in a way that devastates regions to cement the hierarchy of development, infinite money, no problems right? Well,
