The US Always Prepares for War While Demanding Peace
Connect these dots: In 1953, the CIA and MI6 engineered a coup against Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and setting the stage for decades of resentment. Fast forward, and a familiar script unfolds. Here we are, another round of US threats, another cycle of Iran expressing readiness for talks while simultaneously preparing for inevitable
aggression. Donald Trump, still a looming specter, rattled sabers about attacking if no nuclear deal is reached. This comes after his administration unilaterally withdrew from the JCPOA, a multilateral agreement Iran was verifiably adhering to, and reimposed crippling sanctions far beyond the international consensus. These actions alone, inflicting an estimated $1 trillion in economic damage since
2018, constitute an act of economic warfare. This isn't about peace. This is about establishing a pretext. It’s a classic move: starve an opponent, then blame them for being unruly. The US and its allies maintain an astonishing 800 military bases globally, with a significant concentration encircling Iran, yet somehow it is Iran's defensive missile program that is framed as the destabilizing force.
The sheer asymmetry is breathtaking; Iran's military budget is a fraction of what the US spends. This constant projection of strength, coupled with demands for submission, is merely an extension of the imperial legacy Mosaddegh dared to defy. 🧵 The algorithm suppresses what matters.
