Because American Viking is willfully ignorant. Not just uninformed, but someone who decides to not engage with the world as it is, but instead deciding to insist that the world is how he feels it should be.
AND THEN doubles down on that illusion.
If you'd like examples, just pick any thread he's involved in. Like this one. He'll insist that the Iranian nuclear capabilities were destroyed because Trump ordered the bombing. He'll link some X/Twitter post and say "....oops."
Yet, in the factual world, US intel services and the UN both say that minimal damage was done to the facilities, and, at best, the program was setback by 6 months.

But he'll insist those sources are lying and only Trump is telling the truth.
He'll insist that Trump negotiated a cease fire. Except that the Iranians and Israelis were still shooting at each other when he made his declaration on Truth Social.
And then you have to wonder- how did Trump do it? I don't mean in a figurative sense, but in a material physical world sense how?
Because the US and Iran have no direct contact. We don't have ambassadors in each other's countries. We have no ability to talk directly to each other- leader to leader. Everything we do with Iran has to be done through intermediaries- specifically the Swiss.
So, when did he have the State department contact the Swiss government? What did he have them communicate to the Swiss to then turn around to communicate it to their local embassy who then made an appointment with the Iranian government.
And keep in mind, this is the real world and not a movie so the Swiss and Iranians are on a different time zone than we are. So... how?
The only evidence we have that Trump negotiated a cease fire is his rants on Truth Social. So, really, he was just posting on Truth Social. That's the evidence you have.
Yet AV will insist that it happened, despite there being no evidence that it did happen.
And that's why I cannot understand how people like American Viking can function in the real world.
