Media Meanderings Looking for Obvious Answers
With the context of the two recent articles on the Mis-Dis/Information Complex and the US' failing military production capability, YesXorNo, dug into the recent attack on Ayn al Assad Airbase in western Iraq, al-Anbar Governate.
Ballistic missiles penetrated the Patriot missile defense system. Peeps got examined for traumatic brain injuries because the DoD didn't take the warning issued by Iraqi PM al-Sudani seriously and left their soldiers in harm's way.
YesXorNo comes to a few bloody obvious conclusions as to why nobody reads or listens to the MSM, which is an answer to the confused question and admission of defeat stated by some British publishing honcho-ess at the WEF. The statement's audio was published by Alex Christoforou as the intro curio to his daily roundup which also covered the attack on the airbase.
The real question was what was the context for the attack on Ayn al Assad and how easy would it be to learn this from the MSM?
Clear as mud, right?
Correction: In the intro I state that it was The Guardian who provided the identity of the attacking armed group. No, it was the BBC, which is correctly mentioned later when the articles are reviewed.
