Western News Media Propagandists Describe US Bombing Iran As "Defensive"

The propagandists of the American press have been uncritically describing recent US airstrikes on Iran as “defensive” despite the US being the clear aggressor in this ongoing conflict, and despite the United States existing on the other side of the planet from Iran.

Another word that has lost its meaning.

Like when 'defensive' NATO members bombed Belgrade and Libya and Syria.

This is another example of how a word has been hijacked or wordjacked to mean something other that what it actually means.

It's actually another 'unsomething' - 'undefensive' - meaning we are defending against actions caused by our original offensive actions that triggered the whole thing in the first place.
