In violation of the UN charter, international humanitarian law and the US constitution, the United States has joined Israel in its war of aggression against Iran.
We can only wait for the blowback and inevitable escalation which could — quite literally — lead us to World War III. While Trump’s bloody-minded, MAGA sycophants cheer on his doomsday recklessness, the remainder of theĀ world’s thinking citizenry can only hold their breath contemplating the arrival of an imminent Apocalypse.
This is what can happen when two nuclear-armed nations (the US and Israel) are governed by two psychopaths (Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu) with no conscience, no capacity for empathy, no concern for the rule of law, no regard for actual facts, and inflated egos always starving for greater adulation.
THIS is the principle fact of the matter: every US intelligence agency has agreed that — at least until yesterday’s attack — Iran did not have a nuclear weapons program. Iran has not had a nuclear weapons program since 2003.
Israel’s description of their attack as a “preventative first strike” offers nothing more than a malicious cover story for Israeli aggression. It is a blatant violation of international law. And the US now shares in that needless, illegal aggression against a nation that poses no threat whatsoever to US security.
Israel and America are wanton bullies whose crimes endanger the human race. That is not an exaggeration.
For more on these facts, please check out the following analysis of former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter:
Three things now are as certain as death and taxes:
One, the US has become an aggressor in a needless war that could eventually include Russia, China, Pakistan, Turkey, and parts of Europe;
Two, Iran now almost certainly is developing a clandestine nuclear weapons program. That’s the big lesson from these events — if you don’t yet have nukes, get ’em quick;
Three, as Israel-watchers now turn their attention from Gaza to Iran, Israel will hasten its wholesale slaughter of innocent Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Just watched the analysis with Scott Ritter. Eye opening! Thank you for sharing that link.
Thank you for your response, Mary. I find that Scott Ritter offers a sane, insightful voice on foreign affairs. I follow him regularly. US politics, both foreign and domestic, are in ruins right now, for obvious reasons. It will be interesting to see how things unfold as I continue to trust in the Lord’s promises…and as I continue to lament over the catastrophe in Gaza and the rest of the ME.
Good to hear from you,
David
