I read a post today that clarifies things about Iran.

Chump is simultaneously claiming:
-he won the war in Iran
-is winning the war in Iran
-needs help to win the war in Iran
-needs no help to win the war in Iran.
All to destroy a nuclear weapons program he claims to have destroyed last year.

Who will benefit from this war? Russia and Israel.

Just a matter of time before Russian oil and gas sales are unsanctioned.

It doesn't help to make sense out of it all, but it accurately sums up what is happening

When he will start world war 3 by dropping a nuke he’s itching to do and destroy us all.

Can anyone stop him?

Specifically? CNN? MSNow? PBS News Hour? NYT? WaPo? Who is the "MSM" to you?

It's not the fault of the "MSM" that he is a pathological liar. The "MSM" reports his lies because they're constrained by the form of Objective Journalism.

I know DU hates them, but at least the NYT puts his lies in context with contradictory facts or quotes from other sources. However, they can't stop him from lying, and he isn't looking for their permission to lie. The WH Press Pool can barely challenge him with follow ups any more.

The "MSM" doesn't have the power you imagine they do - vast swaths of America never hear what the "MSM" has to say or write. They hear AM Hate Radio, Foxnews, and Sinclair station's local news. Or Facebook trolling.
