Mark, I appreciate your emails but this one is total junk. The US media would love to show that Israel was getting bombed relentlessly and that US bases were being obliterated. This is all baseless nonsense.
I am not so sure, Phil. Even one of our own, Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army colonel and former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell seems to be saying something similar. See recent post for his assessment. Or here: https://x.com/democracynow/status/2031359154351116643. It is a challenge to get a fix on things…at least for me.
