Why are we letting the strike on June 21st retroactively "define" what happened, or rather, what didn't happen, on June 19th and 20th? The absence of an event on those earlier days was already a fact, not something that needed a later military action to confirm it.
This sounds like someone trying to clean up the books, giving the market makers an incentive to rewrite the narrative.
It's like saying a later storm "defines" that it didn't rain last week; the rain either happened or it didn't.
