Have a cite that anyone participating in the discussion of this article has ever said anything of the kind? I know I haven’t, I’d bet my house that puzzlegal hasn’t, and I doubt very much that DemonTree, iiandyii, or probably even Banquet Bear ever has.

So are you tarring an entire group of posters with a broad brush, or are you just flat out making shit up?

No, I don’t make shit up:

Apparently Iranian state media is claiming destruction of an American military base, and near destruction of Israel. Or similar fantasy nonsense. All for internal politics. Does that make any warmongers consider that maybe Iranian calls for the destruction of Israel (and the US, for that matter) are mostly just bluster for internal purposes, rather than a real existential threat?
