Or projecting power— even if it’s not much of a power projection
the media amplifies the perception

Hi dennis
I think that protecting the US currency is a factor in everything the US does..

That is an empty pretense. The Americans are hitting Iranian proxies (so they think) and Iran as a member of OPEC has just joined the BRICS. This is about the military industrial complex protecting the Petro Dollar as the reserve “currency”.

This is just to hit the revenge button on a slow news day. Just a pathetic attempt to portray imperial virility.
