I hope I'm wrong (and might very well be), but it feels like this shit is getting more and more inevitable.
If not today, likely within the month.
I didn't vote for this. I actually voted against this.

This is one of the best ways to spot lies and liars. If they're not logically consistent in their actions and beliefs, it means they're lying.
For example, if their outward stated purpose for attacking Iran is because "gotta protect the downtrodden protestors", then they're lying, because if that were true and they were logically consistent, we'd have to be engaged all over the planet to help the poor downtrodden folk. We haven't done that, so they're hypocrites only telling slightly plausible lies to fool the gullible.
Another example, if they claim the attack on Iran is about denuclearization, then they're lying, because if denuclearization of dangerous nations was a priority, we'd have attacked Israel decades ago, and assuming their neocon propaganda to be true, we'd also attack Russia, China, Korth Korea, and Pakistan. We haven't done these things, so it's an obvious hypocrisy and lie.
This is why logic and consistency are so crucial for us. It's not necessarily to help convince normies in arguments, but to help us spot lies and liars.
