After reading a bunch of mainstream media articles in the last three days, I "learned" a bunch of important "facts" that I didn't know previously. The "facts" are generally stated by people the media calls "experts". Here are a few of the biggies.
1. Iran doesn't want war with the USA. When Iranian drones hit Saudi oil facilities and knocked out half of the Saudi oil production, it was just the Iranian leaders "playing chess" in order to try to improve their negotiating position.
2. President Trump has "revealed" that his threats to take action against Iran are nothing more than "words" since the USA has not yet done anything other than talk in response to the Iranian actions. Apparently, the additional sanctions imposed by the USA on Iran don't count as anything more than words.
3. President Trump is a warmonger who wants war with Iran. That's strange since Trump, we are told (see #2 above) has taken no warlike actions and has done nothing but talk.
4. Israeli's prime minister Netanyahu has been pushing very hard to get a war started between the USA and Iran. That's strange since Netanyahu has been occupied full time with the aftermath of the Israeli election and would seemingly have no time to devote to starting wars.
5. The exit of John Bolton from his position as National Security Advisor makes it almost certain that there will be no military resolution to the Iranian attacks on Saudi Arabia.
It does seem strange that the mainstream media presents all this stuff as if it were fact. In truth, most of this is best described as fantasies written by reporters.
