Wars and Rumors of Wars

Trump and Netanyahu open the gates of Hell.

So now the die is cast and the United States has joined Israel in an unprovoked attack on a non-threatening Iran to destroy its military capabilities and to bring about regime change.

This is a major misstep that could easily turn out very badly, as it is a pointless war of choice that could easily escalate to neighboring states and become nuclear if a reckless Israel decides it needs to “defend” itself against an Iranian response. U.S. Navy vessels might also find themselves vulnerable to Iranian missiles.

As the attack took place, President Donald Trump announced the latest bit of nation-destroying from his Florida home away from the White House, which he is also wrecking as part of a lavish and characteristically tasteless ballroom “reconstruction.”

By way of his Truth Social Platform, he declared early Saturday morning that “We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally — again — obliterated. We’re going to annihilate their navy.”

The destruction of the missiles as a top priority was clearly under orders from Israel, which sees the weapons as the major threat against it. Trump also called on the Iranians to rise up and overthrow their government.

Trump also conceded that Americans will die against Iran, adding that “the lives of courageous American heroes may be lost” in what the “War Department” has dubbed “Operation Epic Fury… We may have casualties.”

He acknowledged that there could be American deaths following Iran strikes, saying “that often happens in war.”

There is without doubt a certain irony in having at the helm of state an ignorant and seemingly deranged draft dodger president announcing a war while wearing a baseball cap, who wallows in threats and generating conflicts while claiming to be a man of peace.

Enabling wars in Ukraine and Gaza while also recently threatening Venezuela and now Cuba is not the way to go to make the world a better place.

Sadly, Trump’s entire family has likewise avoided military service, he being once again willing to pay the ultimate price for his warmaking using other American families’ sons and daughters as cannon fodder.

Unfortunately for both the United States and for the sanction-plagued long-suffering Iranian people, the grounds for the act of war as elaborated by President Donald Trump are completely fatuous, to include Iranian presumed development of a nuclear weapon and its possession of ballistic missiles that will be able to strike the United States.

Both claims are denied by US intelligence and other sources. They are lies plausibly sourced from Israel and clearly improvised to justify the carnage, similar in form to the infamous Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s lying claim in 2002-2003 that Iraq was building “weapons of mass destruction” which might lead to a “mushroom cloud” over America. The Iraq war killed 500,000 Iraqis and 4,431 invading Americans, but who will be counting when you are aiming at something as glorious as regime change in Persia?

Looking beyond what disaster comes out of Iran, the long-term danger is that we Americans now have a president who believes that he can act with impunity anywhere in the world, having publicly declared that he believes that he “…can do whatever he wants.”

That includes going to war contrary to the US Constitution, though Congress is now feebly attempting to enforce the so-called War Powers Act.

As Israel is behind the current fighting, there is no chance that official Washington will be anything but supportive of the conflict, as will also the media.

Given the carte blanche for military action anywhere and at any time, Cuba is possibly next on the list as the Administration appears set on destroying its economy through sanctions prior to taking control of it, similar to the plan for Venezuela that played out recently and that has been used against Iran.

Beyond that, destroying Iran is being done solely to benefit what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees as his national interest.

That the war is taking place at all is due to Israel’s absolute control over America’s political class, a reality that Netanyahu and his predecessors in office have not been exactly shy about admitting.

The U.S. is a hapless giant that has been corrupted by Jewish billionaire money from within to be totally committed to the expansion of greater Israel, no matter how many have to die in the process.

Do the Israelis care what happens to the American people?

No.

The U.S. is a necessary resource, which they will squeeze dry of money and political support before being discarded like a used diaper.
