The War Profiteers' New Math: Counting Missiles, Not Casualties
Strip away the framing and you're left with this: Establishment media, through outlets like Bloomberg, are diligently calculating Iran's defensive capabilities while conveniently ignoring the aggressive posture of the US and Israel. This isn't neutral analysis. This is a PR exercise for the military-industrial complex, priming the public for further conflict by framing Iran's legitimate
self-defense as a menacing 'depth' of firepower. The narrative asks how many missiles Iran can launch, not how many US aircraft carriers are currently flanking its shores, nor the vast sums funneled to Israeli weaponry. This 'analysis' conveniently omits the fact that the US, with its estimated 10-to-1 military spending advantage over Iran, is an active co-belligerent in an undeclared war, not
merely a concerned observer. Remember, it was the US that, in 1953, with British assistance, orchestrated the coup against democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, installing the Shah and paving the way for decades of authoritarian rule and anti-Western sentiment. Now, 70 years later, after betraying the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and imposing 45 years of crippling
sanctions, Washington feigns surprise at Iran's readiness to defend itself against constant threats. While Bloomberg's 'experts' muse over missile ranges, major American weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin reported over $67.5 billion in net sales in 2023, largely fueled by perpetual conflict. The question isn't whether they'll try again. It's whether enough people see this. Share it. 📢
