Why is the Department of War so bad at propaganda?

Maybe, but Iran killing 40,000 of their own citizens in 2 weeks is also horrifying. You barely see the US using that for propaganda to fire back at Iranian memes.

Because it was made up?

Pro-tip: if you’re presented with some crazy big number and no names, it’s probably made up.

Iran, China, and Russia dominate the space and make the US look so bad with their epic trolling jobs that embarass the US and win over the minds of the rest of the world. Is there a reason the US is so bad at modern day propaganda?

And spare me the junk about propaganda neing in main stream news sources. Those are for dinosaur boomers. The real propaganada wars on platform like TT and Twitter. Iran has been owning Trump, the DoW, and the US in general in the space.

Democrats were wasting money on radio programs that no one listened to.

Once a government program is established it takes an act of god to eliminate.

Tad Stoermer said on IG yesterday that the admin has been asking US embassies to recruit American academics abroad with large followings to carry out MAGA's messaging and is to "feel organic rather than centralized."

Disgusting.

DP. Because wars need buy in to help win. Even Bush asked the American people if he should go to war in Iraq. Trump just bombed Iran with no buy in. Our own government floated the idea to take down a plane full of Americans and blame it on Cuba during JFK's tenure, so they could go to war.

Also, let's not forget Trump and Hegseth started this inane, childish info war with their video game reels on the DOD social media channels. So, Iran has been going viral with it's L.O.S.E.R Lego video and the latest one with Hegseth kissing Trump's @ss after Trump goes down on Clinton. They just posted another one saying that Trump went to Epstein's island 40x, suggesting that their hack uncovered Epstein files.

If you don't like it, I suppose you tell Trump to stop sending Americans to their death. The US hasn't had a plane downed by an enemy in over 20 years and a drunk Fox News host is firing seasoned, respected generals in the middle of a war.

Anyone who thinks the US should be engaging in tacky, smarmy propaganda à la Iran has a screw loose.

I will say one thing…..
The US is good at propaganda that matters. Or call it a deception campaign.

What the CIA pulled off helped our troops rescue our airman.

LOL. This is just pure propaganda. Strait from the Jerusalem Post (I checked). If you'd watched the Iranian Lego videos you would know that they don't believe a word Trump or Hegseth says, so they're not going to "fall for it." They have a baby video about TACO Trump who won't blow up Kharg Island and then negotiates with Iran at an empty table.

I love the complaints about Iranian "propaganda" (point to what's not true about Hegseth and why would you even defend that alcoholic rapist) are the same boomers who were perfectly fine w/ the endless propaganda by Neocons (and Israel as usual) about WMDs which lead to the deaths of a 1M civilians and 4400 soldiers. Meanwhile Bush was laughing it up w/ the "journalists" who spread the propaganda and pretending the WMDs were under his desk.

Some of you are so out-of-touch and low IQ in how you view the world. Being older, is no excuse for still thinking its those others who do propaganda when Americans are the most propagandized on earth.

Iran knows more about Hegseth than the avg American.

No smart GenZ-er would want to be caught dead working for those people right now. They are very well informed and do not think highly of our government.

Stupendously wrong. The US is getting absolutely steamrolled by China, Iran, and Russia in the virtual propaganda war space. It is as if the US isn't even trying.

Iran constantly sends out zingers like this that get millions views:

All the social media Americans use has been flooded with foreign propaganda, especially since the war started. It is highly noticeable.

Can you really call it propaganda when almost all of the entire world is already in the same side, including most of America?
