Yes MR TRUMP since you kicked off combat operations against Iran Feb. 28, you have sunk the Irian navy, wiped out its air force and destroyed its army, killed its leaders destroy Iranian offensive missiles and missile production.
However will IRAN have nuclear weapons remains somewhat doubtful.
“ We are systematically dismantling the regime’s ability to threaten America or project power outside of their borders,” says Trump.
In doing so he has left a country with 90 million inhabitants labelled as terrorists.
According to U.S. Central Command, since the start of operations, over 12,300 sites have been struck in Iran, over 13,000 combat flights have been launched and over 155 Iranian military vessels have been damaged or destroyed.
—————————-
With his genocidal threats against Iran, Trump has shown the world that he is a terrorist—one with a nuclear arsenal.
Webster’s dictionary defines “terrorism as “the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion.” It defines “terrorist” as “an advocate or practitioner of terrorism as a means of coercion.”
Terrorists” are reviled, because of their willingness to impose indiscriminate terror, fear, and violence on civilian populations to get their way politically or economically.
If you want to gin up a populace against a particular group of people, label them “terrorists.” It’s shorthand for “despicable, bloodthirsty, murderous thugs, people with no moral limits.
90 million of them.
In 2015, candidate Trump said the only way to effectively fight terrorist groups such as ISIS was to kill the family members of known terrorists.
I mention this because over the past week Donald Trump, the senescent man whose word can unleash the most fearsome weapons known to humankind, revealed himself to be simply a common terrorist, albeit one with a potentially world-destroying arsenal backing him up.
Trump announced at 8 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He added, almost as if he had no control over his own actions, “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.”
I have scoured my historical memory, and I cannot think of another major international figure since Hitler who has made such explicitly genocidal threats, so devoid of euphemism—and even Hitler and his henchmen generally couched their apocalyptic visions in just enough euphemism to give them the cover of plausible deniability.
If the United States’ dwindling list of allies had any illusions about the man, they were surely cast to the winds.
What I am struggling to even begin to fathom is what it must have felt like to be an Iranian trapped in that bombed-out country in the hours between Trump’s pledge that at 8 PM their civilization would be erased and the announcement of a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire 90 minutes before Trump’s deadline.
I can’t imagine how slowly time must have ticked by, each second bringing the country closer to destruction. For those 12 hours, 90 million Iranians must have felt like the condemned on death row as the time of their electrocution neared.
I can’t even begin to fathom the rage that those millions of Iranians must have felt at the US soldiers and sailors and airmen blithely going about their business in loading up weapons and pretending that this was just another day at the office.
You can ever so slightly, get a glimpse of that rage, that powerless fury, because in September 2001, that’s the rage, fear, and horror which was felt in New York when the twins tower were struck.
Surely it’s obvious to all involved that there can be no military victory and certainly there is no trust to be had with an TERRORIST COUNTRY.
What is left is a breeding swamp.
All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
