Donald Trump appeared to offer confirmation that the United States is now participating in Israel’s attack on Iran in a Tuesday social media post.
Amid escalating tensions and the exchange of bombings after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last week, Trump has faced questions about the extent of U.S. involvement in the conflict.
In a new post on Truth Social using the term “We,” Trump wrote: “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
ConflictWAR with IranArmed conflict is the legal proper term for war. War is a layman’s expression. Armed conflict has more legal and ethical weight.
I know armed conflict mongering when I see it 🙃
Appreciate the info though friend. Thanks.
No, here war mongering is the correct term. It’s a layman’s expression to denote a particular political attitude that seeks to stir conflict for political gains or profit. It has no legal connotation either. You might be interested on the term war profiteering, a term that doesn’t exist under International Humanitarian Law, but has been discussed for its ethical implications.
