According to a report from MS NOW, the USS Abraham Lincoln wasn’t resupplied because Iranian strikes destroyed a key Navy resupply base in the Middle East.
Anyone that put two seconds of thought into “why is Iran only attacking US allied bases” would have realized it’s to cripple supply lines so the blockade couldn’t be maintained, this has been a tactic longer than recorded history.
It’s not a problem with “the media” because most people don’t even interact with it, and when they do it’s just headlines.
The problem is societal and it’s that no one uses critical thinking. It should be an automatic background process running the whole time we’re awake, but it doesn’t.
For older generations it’s lead poisoning coming home to roost, for younger generations it’s that they were never taught critical thinking. But even the small slice in the middle, we’ve got a clock till our (lesser) lead poisoning really starts kicking in and is compounded by normal aging.
We’re fucked, but that just makes it all the more important we fix education asap to mitigate the damage. Even tho it’ll take 12 years before it really even starts to pay off, and then much longer till that generation becomes a large voting demographic.
Those neighbors, at least Kuwait, the Emirates and Saudi Arabia, were right alongside the Israelis in lobbying Trump to start the war. Then they thought they could stand idly by and cash in on the carnage while other people did the killing and dying. And they’ve also had a long history of murdering their indigenous Shi’a populations, and funding or waging wars to kill them elsewhere, such as in Yemen.
So this sounds like chickens coming home to roost.
No, it’s not just that.

It was also to tell neighbours that hosting a US base put them at risk, rather than be a security benefit.
