Donald Trump warns the Iranian delegation they might not return home from talks in Switzerland as the US and Iran argue over the fate of the Strait of Hormuz.
Mr Trump has made fiery threats of violence before and failed to follow through. So, anything he says along these lines needs to be viewed in that context.
It’s not just ABC. The entirety of mainstream media — especially billionaire owned media — has been sanity-washing the mental illnesses of fascism for decades.
Coalition tactics in strong-arming the independence of the ABC worked, the same as they have worked against independent journalism in America and all liberal “democracies”.
Not really, trumpy himself is normalizing threats of violence. ABC is (correctly) pointing out that’s he’s more often than not too much of a bitch to act on them.
No they’re not just pointing it out. As it says “needs to be viewed”. ABC is advocating for specific interpretation of the president’s statements and that interpretation is undoubtedly sane washing threats to negotiators.
If it were responsible journalism it might have pointed out the amount of times he started bombing in the middle of negotiations before.
Yeah…they’re literally saying that the threats need to be viewed in the context of trump being consistently too chickenshit to follow through. That isn’t normalizing threats. That’s adding context, and the context is that these threats are often meaningless.
Edit: otherwise, we are all normalizing threats by not taking them seriously at face value and rushing to the bomb shelters every time Donnie opens his mouth.

It’s almost like billionaires have a vested interest in keeping Trump in power.
So are Americans.
Oh my friend, that really does depend on which Americans you’re talking about.
Interesting. The targets of the US propaganda machine are… responsible for said propaganda machine? I’m not sure that tracks, buddy.
