Inside the White House plan to sell the Iran war online​

The administration is bucking decades of decorum by depicting the Iran war as a violent video game.

The administration’s TikTok-style mash-up videos of missile strikes spliced into movie clips and video games — along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s attack-style language at Pentagon press conferences — have gobsmacked those with a more traditional view of how a government should sound during a time of war. But this modern media strategy is achieving what the White House appears to prioritize: audience engagement.


“Over a four day period, the videos that we put out had over 3 billion impressions,” said a senior White House official, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly about the administration’s communications strategy. “That blows away anything we’ve ever done in the second term.”

The White House says it’s a winning message. “Polls show that a lot of young people are actually somewhat supportive of this war and our goal is to deliver content to them,” said the senior White House official, who is involved in the video efforts. “What we’re doing is not disrespecting the American troops. To the contrary, we’re highlighting all the great work — the heroic work that they’ve been doing with these videos. We do it in a way that captivates an audience.”

A second senior White House official who is also closely involved in the video-making effort described it as a collegial, creative endeavor. “We’re over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude,” said the person, also granted anonymity to speak candidly. “There’s an entertainment factor to what we do. But ultimately, it boils down to the fact that no one has ever attempted to communicate with the American public this way before.”

Pentagon officials have also taken a bombastic tone, attempting to dunk on MAGA critics, journalists and the Iranian regime in a seeming extension of the White House’s viral communications strategy. Hegseth has said the U.S. would give “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies,” an indication that troops should not spare the lives of their enemies, a potential war crime. Hegseth also referred to rules of engagement as “stupid” and to Iranian leaders as “rats” who are “cowering” underground.

The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment.

“The Trump administration’s approach to discussing the war against Iran is both unusual and unprecedented,” said Tom Ricks, a longtime military correspondent who is now a military historian and author. “With Hegseth at the helm, they are mixing incompetence and hubris. They don’t seem to care what the American public thinks, which is a dangerous approach.”

“It is appealing directly to the base, especially to these young, very online, 4chan MAGA people who, just like Trump, treat war like a video game,” said Max Burns, a Democratic strategist and founder of Third Degree Strategies. “You don’t see service members sharing this content.”

So what are going to do to your pfp when April rolls around and we're still calling each other retards over how many missiles Iran has left THIS time?

I mean they only need less than 100 missiles to make the Strait "closed" to faggot insurance companies for the rest of the year. Just shoot a couple a week is all it takes.

They don't even need that. Strap a shitty briggs and Stratton engine to a glider with a grenade and fling it at the nearest tanker in the Strait. That'll be enough

I don't blindly accept Kent. He confirms what I personally know and have been trying to convey to fellow retards on The Kiwifarms.

It is absolutely disgusting how the knives came out immediately for someone they had never heard of until 5 mintues after he challenged their brain. The dude is fucking Rambo for christs sake. Kent is who every one of them imagined themselves to be - until he challenged their brain.

A basic principle of politics, or atleast one that I think should be considered a bare minimum, is that if you, a politician, a political appointee, etc., dramatically change your view on an issue, you NEED to explain your thought process and what lead you there. This ever happening is exceedingly rare, even though it should be a great way to atleast bring *some* people with you from your old way of thinking to your new way of thinking. J.D. Vance communicated this fairly well with the "Trump is Hitler" to "Trump is great", and it also de-fangs most calls of "hypocrite". Its not hypocritical to change stances if the change is due to new information, flawed foundations, etc, its exceedingly honest/logical.

Kent can either try to explain why he did an about face on his Iran stance or get labeled an opportunistic grifter like he most likely is. The onus is on him, there's either connective tissue between his two wildly different stances or there's not.

It's not complicated. Like every other RINO ever, he's waving the white flag at the first sign of an obstacle.

Lots of people were mentally challenged already, don't even try that shit bro. Truth is that Grand Marshal Trump has 100 percent support of the people, and we are going to take Taiwan. Just stop being a bitch about it like Zhou Kent.

I'm honestly shocked at how fast it was. I doubt they'll mention it but it would be interesting to know how much they talked before he resigned.

Also, speaking to a guy suspected of being a foreign agent is a funny move.
