This is the least talked about US war

Currently- Iran attacking ships, an oil platform, bases and military installations. US attacking military installations and a water facility. ETC

Barely a blip in discussions and most news.

murder of children?
threats of genocide?
war crimes against noncombatants?

Maybe some small factor is that the theocracy tastes bad. But maybe a large factor is the oligarchic ownership of most media.

I don't know; I don't read most US media.

And not from war. Most feel overwhelmed by all Trumps shit and actually hearing about war just feels like one more thing we can do nothing about.

We have tried protests, calling leaders and writing. What little hope we have left is that we can squeak out ahead in the midterms despite their cheating and other methods.

There was more discussion of Bill Mahr, and my post about Taylor Swift got more responses than any post I made about Iran

I put on MSnow in the background while I do other things. Very little talk of Iran on there.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all
