Trump's Kabuki War

 

                                                           Trump’s Kabuki War

         They say truth is the first casualty of war; we are seeing this axiom playing out with the Israeli and US unprovoked aggression against Iran. The warmongers in Israel have been telling the world for thirty years Iran is on the verge of building a nuclear bomb, any day now. Even the censorship industrial complex cannot obliterate the soundbites and visuals of Netanyahu’s lies over the years. Thus far even after their malicious unprovoked attacks on Iran on Friday June 13th and Donald Trump in his usual fashion of throwing caution to the winds joining the Israelis in attacking Iran, the lies and propaganda just keep coming.

War is a serious matter. But it seems when psychopaths are involved the sacredness of life, the practical benefits of peace, living in harmony with one’s neighbors and being honest and forthright are never considered. Psychopaths and warmongers have no conscience. They believe they can wantonly commit atrocities, inflict human suffering with impunity; there won’t be any blowback (a CIA term for unforeseen consequences of their actions) or penalties for their misdeeds and rapine. Regardless of their words and verbiage to the contrary, their actions demonstrate for all to see they have no moral or ethical code, they lack impulse control and empathy and they are driven by an insatiable desire for power, wanton thrills and control.

Trump ordered the bombing of Iran’s, alleged nuclear weapon facilities but the Iranians claimed the damage was minimal and that two of the sites had been evacuated earlier. Israel instigated a war against Iran knowing full well they could induce the West to come to their aid which the US did. Now, the warmongers are paying a horrific price, in the global court of public opinion. To all but the most rabid warmongers and religious fanatics, Israel and the US are now seen as pariahs and savages.

Israel and the US’s actions are so insane, so irrational it’s like a Kabuki theater production. They’ve failed in their objective to neutralize Iran’s nuclear facilities and Iran hit back hard against Israel and demonstrated to the US what it could do to its bases in the region.  Meanwhile Israel was so unprepared for the Iranian response they begged the US to intervene.

For its’ part Iran warned Qatar a nation which is Muslim and has decent relations with Iran but also sides with Israel and the US. Qatar allowed the warmongers to use their air space and allegedly helped shoot down Iranian missiles aimed at Israel, that it was going to attack a US military base in Qatar. Iran’s forewarning helped prevent any serious casualties and prevented the US from using Iran’s response to their attack as a casus belli  to expand their involvement.

Trump meanwhile is taking heat from some in his base who encourage a more isolationist posture or who are incensed he betrayed his promise not to start or drag the US into any new forever wars. However, other MAGAites, the Christian Zionist specifically are salivating at the prospect of an expanded war because they think it will usher in the Rapture when all their “true believers” who dutifully support Israel will be literally taken up to heaven to live with Jesus. Of course, the MIC is seeing dollar signs as their stocks prices sour and business is booming.

Trump obviously lives in a Bizzaro World type reality. He can now say he supported Israel, that he took out the nuclear threat, even though it was nonexistent and thus the US military actually failed in its mission, and he can also “demand” both sides cease firing, act and play nicely towards each other. Idiot! Things don’t work like that in the real world especially when psychopaths like Netanyahu and an imbecile like Trump are involved.

The Zionists want to obliterate Iran but they have not been able to do so, they and now the world knows they cannot accomplish this with the help of the West! The world is watching the Zionists warmongers getting their behinds handed to them in real time. They are in panic mode. The Iranians took a hit and hit back, big time but not as fully as they are capable of. If they wanted to they could do serious damage to Israel and throw the global economy and supply chain for oil and commerce in turmoil.

  The US did not destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities, so what now? Israel’s “Iron Doom” is in shambles and the world sees it. Trump actually thinks he holds enough sway to make the warmongers in Tel Aviv stand down. He foolishly thinks he can bully the Iranians into not defending themselves against the warmongers! According to Trump (who is truth averse)  both sides agreed to a cease fire in principle. However just like in Gaza, Israel continued the assault and Iran responded hard. Now Trump looks like an idiot so he is throwing a hissy fit. If this weren’t so serious it would be funny, a complete Kabuki show.

What can we do to set this situation right. Pray for peace, pray for sanity and pray that this doesn’t spiral totally out of control!
