The US is supplying the bombs that are being used to indescriminantly murder civilians though.
Still not propaganda.
yeah it is, it's uncritically reporting what the administration is saying, justifying the war even, despite the fact that they obviously control the reins on this mad dog - they could cut off weapons at any time.
The US strategy has not changed despite the headline, it has always been to let the atrocities play out
I see no justifications of the war in the article. Sounds like the issue is that it doesn't say the things you'd prefer?
The administration is saying the justifications, the stenographers of empire are the ones uncritically reporting them.
Do you really need me to spell it out?
We love a practical warmonger 🤩🤩🤩
The article is not justifying the war, and I won't entertain unsourced speculation as though it is fact. It is not propaganda.
Unsourced speculation is a weird way to say "reading the article and citing what it said"
Yea, like where I read it and it isn't justifying the war.
I'm bored now. Goodbye.
Edit: reiterating goodbye.
So how does this new, different US strategy differ from what they've been doing this entire time? letting the atrocities play out has been their strategy, is it because they've officially given up on calling for a cease fire?
Would you know propaganda if it walked up and bit you?

I have absolutely no idea how this is relevant, but I think that the volume of discussion encompassing whether Reuters is presenting propaganda is worth no one's time.
