The reasons for the war with Iran make no sense. The reasons Trump is FINDING reasons to war with Iran is because he started it with the assassination of Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei. Trump murdered him along with any nearby civilians including schoolgirls valued differently by the Shi’ite faith as opposed to the Sunni faith. No one will convince me those girls are dead by accident. They are dead because of their status and proximity to the Ayatollah.
There is a difference between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims when it comes to the lineage of their leaders. It is up to the leaders of both faiths to resolve to end hostile feelings of each other which I can’t believe are of God/Allah. The Saudi Crowned Prince has begun that process by ending permission for Trump and Hegseth to use sovereign Saudi land for extrajudicial killings of Iranians.
Trump has committed murder and how convenient to call it war. The USA has a policy of NO ASSASSINATION of global leaders. End of discussion. Trump broke that rule not just in his second term but also his first. Because it is difficult for Iran to retaliate there was no response in his first term, hence, the changed military response by Iran the second time around. Now, as long as the USA is within reach and allies are backing the illegal war by Trump, Iran has every right to defend itself and retaliate for the assassination of it’s leader.
NATO allies are not obligated to carry out extrajudicial killings or an illegal war. NATO remains a strong alliance in respect of moral actions militarily with soldiers understanding their own responsibilities within that respected morality.
Intimidation should never exist in relationships between the USA and any other country, especially allies. Intimidation is not only leveled by Trump daily it is a favored approach and strategy in his dealings internationally.
