US war propaganda goes into hyperdrive, but it’s so CRINGE

The emerging quagmire and resistance to the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran seem to have pushed the Donald Trump regime’s war propaganda into hyperdrive. But US citizens have seen this toxic story before. So cheap words and movie montages are unlikely to convince more people to back wasting billions on another forever war.

‘Embarrassing’ US war propaganda

The unprovoked US-Israeli offensive is already less popular than Vietnam. And just days in, there is open, widespread criticism of it in the US. This is hardly surprising, considering it has so far killed over 1,200 people in Iran and sparked regional chaos.

In this context, Trump’s White House has shared a vomit-worthy propaganda video. But far from helping, it has made his regime look even more like coked-up, roid-raging incels playing shoot-em-up games in their parents’ basements. And people were quick to point out its awfulness, with one calling it:

possibly the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen from any Government ever

The White House has also been putting out laughably fawning authoritarian phrases about “Unstoppable Momentum”, such as:

Under the decisive leadership of President Donald J. Trump, America’s unparalleled warfighters are delivering devastating strikes in Operation Epic Fury

And it seems to have taken tips from the propagandists of George Orwell’s 1984:

The corporate media, meanwhile, has been playing along. It has:

Two nuclear powers — the US and Israel — are rampaging through Western Asia in violation of international law, disrupting energy supplies and destroying lives. And on top of that, Donald Trump’s regime is treating people in the US and around the world like idiots.

If the reaction online and offline is anything to go by, however, Trump’s war propaganda may be doing more harm to his reputation than good.
