Every single party involved in this headline is so utterly untrustworthy that I don't know what to do with it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Israel is fabricating the intelligence to spur Trump towards annihilation
There we go again with the bothsidism bullshit
Yeah there is an element of that, but I don't think it's entirely controversial to say that it all gets old very quickly.
Critical thinking takes work and research, which is fine for a specific topic or when you're reading something with existing context like something historic... but keeping on top of something where all the belligerents are pushing out narrative on a daily basis becomes fucking soul-destroying to fact-check and evaluate.
I don't think this is a "both sides" fallacy. It's just being super fed up of the constant shitslinging and media manipulation.
It is alwqys a bothside fallacy when you you equate the agressed and aggresor
I was merely talking about trustworthiness, not about anything else. But you are right, there is no comparison of the levels of untrustworthiness of the two aggressors in the sentence, with the defending country. Iran has their own share of issues but there's no doubt as to who the bullies are in this specific case.
With the rhetoric of none are untrustworthy. It easy to blame both for the lack of solution which is a problem
