    Before or at the beginning of pretty much every conflict the west is involved in is a barrage of disinformation designed to manufacture consent for war. This is no exception and I'd be careful believing anything you read in western media about this right now.

    Stories about rape, torture, etc., these were are shoved down the public's throat before and at the beginning of the Iraq War, and I'm pretty sure nearly all of it turned out to be bullshit.

    I can almost guarantee something like this with no source at all is complete horseshit.
