MODERATORS
It's the same shit as "no fly zones" - washing the act of the inherent violence of it to make it seem like more people approve
straight up 90% oppose
Less than 20% support war against Iran including republicans and democrats and independents…
tbh I'm quite surprised 20 percent of CNN's audience wants Iran to have nukes
I looked up the tweet because I refused to believe 80% of Americans are in favor of airstrikes.

80% of Americans don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. But when asked about airstrikes, 48% support airstrikes to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, and 47% don't. 70% of Republicans support an airstrike, but 30% don't. All this Based on a CNN poll that I'm sure is completely unbiased (lol).
I don't blame OP for taking a screenshot of a sensational headline. But this Twitter account criminally misrepresented the video that they posted.
Americans are split 50/50 when it comes to airstrikes on Iran to prevent them from gaining a nuclear weapon. That is depressing and frustrating, but it is also so far away from 80% support for airstrikes that I can only assume "OS Int" is purposefully lying. The fact that everyone commenting on this tweet has obviously not watched the 80 seconds of video, is depressing, frustrating, and exactly what I expect from my fellow Americans.
I wouldn't ever watch CNN of my own free will.
I also wouldn't repost any CNN clips or anything either though
Classic osint account misinfo. Love it.
Your numbers are wrong.
Care to elaborate?
CNN's never met a war it didn't like.
American war. Everyone else's wars are bad, though.
They were born from a war. Violence is their nursery.
The farce is strong with this one. CNN will continue pushing the narrative that Iran is a danger to the US, when they damn well know it isn't. They can reuse all their old graphics simply by replacing the 'q' in Iraq with an 'n'.
No one wants to work anymore 😔
And people I know called me crazy for saying the majority of Americans are in favour of war in Iran.
Something something opposed to every war except the current one.
Dante was mistaken. The 8th circle of hell is for television "journalists"
Hey, he's a "data analyst"
yes this poll is definitely unbiased
No pollster is brave enough to ask this question: "Would you enlist to fight in a war?"
That's the real "where the rubber meets the road" question.
MmmmM delicious consent manufacturing
Right? How do the results change if you add the question "Do you think any country should have nuclear weapons?"
Assuming those numbers are true, then that justifies foreign intervention into the US to stop them invading another country.
If our planet was remade into a fictional story and our country depicted accurately along with others (while obscuring telltale details), people would literally side against us.
Our country's birth is literally akin to the Orcish horde in warcraft invading Azeroth, and then never ending wars from its birth. Our wars span the globe and we kill at least a million people per war, with generals who deeply want to use nukes (Curtis LeMay literally wanted to drop nukes over 70 Russian cities to wipe them out, saying it would be a month-long third world war; MacArthur wanted to nuke China; there were even Pentagon proposals to nuke Vietnam).
Can you imagine telling an alien invasion story from the perspective of the aliens, showing them like us, as supposedly 'reasonable' and committing horrific atrocities against us 'but hey! That's okay! Humans, especially the white ethnicity from the America region, are very violent; the peaceful ones among them will thank us as liberators!'; and also showing the families of their troops worried about the safety of their boys? You'd have scenes of the aliens killing people fighting back and depicting the aliens as the victims.
Alien looks at young human fighter going for a gun mumbling 'don't do it', and then firing: What is wrong with these people? I hate this place; why are they all like this?
More than once I've had capitalist empires in my works described as "one-dimensional cartoon villains" and "grimdark" when I based everything they did on actual history.
I've said this before but if I wrote a fictional evil country and based it on America/Britain/France/Israel, people would say I'm going over the top and being unrealistic.
At least the Orcish horde had the courtesy of accidentally blowing up their Europe-equivalent as part of their invasion
Khadgar did nothing wrong
No one wants anyone to have nukes. This is a dumb poll
Let’s see who wants Israel to have nukes next
Why isn’t Israel part of the non nuclear proliferation treaty?
I want Iran to have a nuke...
Bullshit lol.
Newkular weapons?! But those weapons are massively destructive!
20% of the America that watches CNN is extremely based??
Wouldn't the average of the three numbers be 80.33 repeating percent? I know the spread isn't equal between these three but come on! Are they implying that there are so few GOP supporters that their 4% higher support doesn't even make the needle twitch?
Seems made up to me.
They want boots on the ground so bad
