According to the West, there are no legitimate targets on our side. Any and all attacks on Western military targets are considered terrorism.
It is is beyond ridiculous. People allegedly attacking a US Airbase in the UK (maybe just stealing diesel) are called terroristsfor attacking a military target. It is absolutely bonkers.
Yeah I don’t think that bullshit is flying as well as it used to though. It’s too obvious who is instigating, and more people have been paying closer attention and learning about the history of the Middle East and the foreign policy of western governments. I’m encountering it more and more from people whom I would not expect it, and I get around.
Overheard a conversation between an old, rural Swedish farmer and his son that used to be a NATO soldier. They were discussing the Iran war. Old man says Iran has the right to defend itself just as any attacked nation does, and besides, they’re defending against an empire that is one tweet away from attacking us. NATO boy tried to say something about nuclear weapons, but old man wouldn’t have any of it and shut it down immediately.
I was quite astonished to bear witness to this, honestly.

I don’t know how nobody has told them to get the F out yet.
When orgs fighting fascism are regarded as terrorism then the word has clearly lost its original meaning.
