I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

The problem with subtext is that I can't tell if they're talking about Israel, or if they're a neocon ghoul who wants to nuke Iran. Or the US? Or Russia? The political content is completely lost in the subtext
The subtext does make it clear enough that it's Israel because there is no other country that is acting as a rabid dog that belongs to someone else.
Yes, but some decide to live in bizzzaro world instead for some reason.
"Iran-backed rebels" though
They haven't but what if some American imagined that they did? All I am saying is that overton window on this topic is wild enough in the west that the subtext leaves room for doubt.
The twitter user in the image has been on chapo, he's talking about Israel.
To be fair "rabid dog" doesn't narrow it down much in the US
