I’m OK with the redaction if it means they’re going all out to defeat the redactee, pbuh.
They’re not.. they just made a proliferation deal not long ago with the country most associated with the redactee, IMHO.... along with giving them a big shout out for “rescuing our stranded sailors”
When this first happened authorities in DC were “baffled” because the guy swore allegiance not just ISIS but two other groups. One of those was Hezbollah, as I recall. It didn’t square with their sunni-shiite can’t get along meme. They briefly tried using that as proof he wasn’t really a muslim terrorist but just a confused kid before just avoiding any further mention of it.
