Sudden stop to warfever
Last week it looked like Persia was the next Inevitable Necessary Noble War to Spread Democracy. All the political demons of both "parties", and all the media demons of both "parties", were pushing harder and harder in screechy unison. BOMB PERSIA! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Then the Persian government speedily and efficiently ended the Sorosian protests. At that point you'd normally expect a massive multiplication of the warfever. How dare they OPPRESS our heroic Sorosian freedom fighters!!!!! We must obliterate the country NOW!!!!!!!!!!
Nope. The warfever simply halted. Vanished. I don't see any items about Persia in the usual Sorosian media like BBC or DW, nor in the news aggregators.
The only fresh item I can find is one piece in reliable neocon National Review, and it's fairly mild by Israeli standards.
War on Persia was pushed in parallel by Saudi and Israel, and US/UK/EU obeyed. Saudi has definitely changed direction as its new king turns more toward the Russia/China side. Bibi hasn't turned, but maybe he's losing credibility. With corruption charges piling up, are his servants deciding that he's not permanent enough to fight and die for?
