Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
This is what scares me the most, to be honest. Trump boasting and making vague threats is one thing, but if the media starts trying to manufacture consent for a nuclear strike...
Well there you have it they started. I agree this is fucked.
As an American I unironically want president Xi to launch a dongfeng missile into the pentagon. Do I get a quote in the BBC now
: You Americans have nukes at home to use on yourselves. Why are you waiting on us to rescue you?
@BattleshipPokemon, also in my 20s and living in London, says: "About them hitting energy infrastructure, using an atomic bomb, or levelling Britain. My honest reaction is that I'm OK with all of these."
if the bbc were nuked I'd be okay with that
It's really a two for one deal there, London and the BBC. Total bargain!
London and the BBC.
Possibly Cardiff instead if Iran just really hates Dr Who.
Capitalism is a death cult
Weird how they don't write stuff like this about the Islamic monarchy of Saudi Arabia
is it just me who thinks it probably wasn't actually the BBC who made it up? I reckon they probably just deliberately, blindly swallowed what some gusano told them with zero fact checking to maintain a facade of plausible deniability. Not like there's any shortage of absolute freaks willing to just say random shit. Not that it matters, it's functionally identical.
Could have also been a source from the CIA or its proxies, who give "tips" to journos all the time.
Who made it up is irrelevant, it's that they chose to publish it to shape public opinion.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at at the end. It was purely idle speculation, not any kind of apologia for the beeb.
The BBC has had a persian propaganda outlet for decades. It's serving its pupose here
They actually stealth edited the quote in the article to something less insane, so if it wasn't made up before, it is now

Isn't squirrel full of shit tho?
Squirrel is very curmudgeonly and sometimes too uncharitable, but I would not describe them as full of shit.
Yeah but that doesn't make them factually wrong about things like this.
This is true tho
jesus fucking christ
