Hard to drain a swamp, as Trump promised he’d do, is next to impossible when you’re up to your neck in it.
We’ve grown used to a President who lies on a daily basis, indulges in exaggeration and has no idea of what it is he’s doing. Why congress allows this is only understandable, to me, because the hand of Israel is the puppeteer while Trump is the puppet.
What a miserable state of affairs.
Crowds of people dance with joy in cities across the world at the news of the murder of the Ayatollah. They’re mainly young, too young to remember the Shah, a hideous creature and they’re happy to welcome the son of the Shah as a new glorious leader. No knowledge of their recent history and all to willing to believe that ‘Freedom will flourish if only …’ What freedom specifically?
Democracy is a threadbare and ill-fitting suit of clothes in most Western societies where elections are postponed, candidates disallowed and freedom of speech muzzled.
Meanwhile the mainstream media parrot media releases without any attempt to check sources and facts. Perhaps the government in Iran – not a regime but a government – isn’t perfect but ‘despotic’, ‘evil’ is nonsense.
This is an illegal war in the sense of Trump needing to receive the approval of congress which he didn’t bother to do – look in a mirror, Trump, if you want to see a despot, a petty dictator.
As for there being any moral justification for war there is none.
The instigator is Netanyahu, another creature born of the swamp that Trump inhabits.
