She doesn't say "We will attack and obliterate Iran".
Firstly she says "we will attack Iran", and that's in response to if they attacked Israel. It's not a general statement of 'if I'm president we're going to attack them' which is how it's portrayed in the video, but of course the prefix to what she says in the video, and what she says afterwards has been cut out to distort the context of it, that's what I'm talking about. (In fact instead of continuing to what she says next, we get a repeat of "we will attack Iran" over a shot of a bomb exploding, how is it anything but propaganda with the deliberate intention of misleading?) And secondly she doesn't say they "
will obliterate Iran", she's saying that she wants them to "understand" that they are
able to (and yes it's a harsh choice of words but isn't the sentiment behind it exactly one of the reasons why any country would have armed forces in the first place and/or threaten to get involved in a situation where an attack takes place?)
So I stand by the points I made in my original post because it's really frustrating when you have to try and decode the video first to understand the actual truth of it (which you wouldn't need to do if it was either a credible source or something that wasn't so obviously edited in order to mislead), and if instead you take it on face value, you just end up debating a fallacy and what's the point in that? (Not to mention the hypocrisy of videos like this being made when we've got Trump and many of his supporters complaining of election rigging because he's being misrepresented.)
