It’s sure looking like this is going to keep going, even if on and off, until the empire is forced to exit the region from sheer lack of resources to continue. They adamantly refuse to concede even to such a low bar as respecting Iran’s sovereignty over its own territory. It’s twisted how they try to frame Iran enforcing control over the territory it controls as some kind of attack on others. It illustrates how the empire sees the world, as something it possesses, with all others subject to its will. The tweet reads like an imperial cop talking about a wanted criminal, instead of a terrorist empire talking about a victim defending themself. Typical DARVO shit.
