See, that's the problem, most in Alt-Media will blindly believe whatever they read on the internet as long as it conforms with their wishful thinking expectations. I say this without any sarcasm: those like you need to keep believing and then become deeply disappointed in order to learn your lesson. Alt-Media won't change until that happens:

"The US, Russia, etc., it’s only Israel that’s insisted throughout the years that Iran is on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon, yet that was widely lambasted by Alt-Media till they flipped the script a few weeks back. You’re welcome to believe whatever you want though, I don’t care about changing your mind, but notice how differently the US treats Russia/North Korea from Iran. That’s because the first two have nukes and the second doesn’t."

Yes, it was, because it simply cites social media speculation. Nobody serious, meaning foreign officials and respected academics, lent any credence to that.

You read what you wanted to believe, therefore you believed it, and now you're convinced that Iran secretly has a nuclear weapon.

If that was really true though, then why isn't the US scared of an uncontrollable escalation sequence with Iran like it's scared of one with Russia?

Why would US officials tell Politico that those two's different nuclear statuses is responsible for why it'll shoot down one's missiles but not the other's?

How do you cogently account for these double standards if both are supposedly nuclear-armed powers that can destroy the US?
