Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei killed in joint US-Israeli attack last Saturday.
Welp, it looks like the self-proclaimed “Peace president” isn’t so peaceful after all.
Most of us woke up last Saturday morning to multiple reports that Donald Trump ordered multiple military strikes on Iran jointly with Israel.
After reports of targeted strikes by Iran hitting luxury hotels and airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi along with firing a salvo of missiles at Israel, we also learned of a U.S. strike hitting an elementary school in Minab where as many as 168 young girls and their teachers were killed.
The attack on the girls’ school appears to be consistent with a targeted strike and is still under investigation.
Reports soon emerged that 86-year-old Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei along with 48 senior officials were killed during the coordinated attack branded Operation Epic Fury. (Khamenei’s wife, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, 79, has since died from injuries she suffered during the attack).
To date, reportedly at least 6 American soldiers have been killed in Kuwait, although were conflicting reports from the U.S. and Iran regarding casualty numbers.
Despite installing himself as the president of the Board of Peace (a newly formed cosplay of the United Nations which looks more like an attempt to undermine it) and begging for the Nobel Peace Prize, Donald Trump is currently functioning as anything but peaceful.
With no imminent threat from Iran after it was reported that talks with Iran were “positive,” the illegal war that the US and Israel started is expanding. Conflict and chaos grow as The Donald exercises the art of the deal with military force in step with Benjamin Netanyahu.
We saw the capture of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro (and Trump getting control of their oil) at the top of January. Now the Ayatollah Khamenei has been killed at the bottom of February. Cuba appears to be on the radar as next in line for regime takeover.
Trump’s unquenchable thirst for power and money knows no bounds because there is no one seemingly able to stop him. Congress has been rendered useless. Their later than late War Powers Resolution failed in both chambers of the Republican-controlled Congress (five Democrats voted against the measure), failing to halt Trump’s attack on Iran.
From here on out, we can only ask who’s got next? Who will Trump remove, arrest, or kill? Who will the leader of the free world threaten as if he were the leader of the mob with going after them the hard way if they fail to give in easily?
Seriously, who can rightly rein in Donald Trump from trampling all over the Constitution to get everything he wants at the expense of the American people before it’s seriously too late?
Now that what supposedly started as a regional war is now rapidly spreading across the Middle East, the answer again appears to be no one.
Infatuated with coopting what he sees in movies and on TV, Donald Trump has apparently ingested the attitude of Jock Ewing in his quixotic quest for power. Head of Ewing Oil and patriarch of the fictional Ewing family on the mega hit 80’s TV show “Dallas,” Jock, in a heated moment with his son, Bobby, said that nobody gives you power — real power is something you take. (As an intriguing aside, Jock Ewing said this in an episode titled, “The Venezuelan Connection).
Lacking Jock Ewing’s cool factor and empathy, Trump obviously connected with the patriarch’s statement about power in this iconic scene. Because that’s just what he’s doing. Taking it.
Congress didn’t declare war. Former President Barack Obama never started a war with Iran. Donald Trump the fake “Peace President” did. Authoritarian to his core, Trump always says that he is the only one who can do it, the “it” being whatever he wants to do. His simple statement was always the key to the multitude of chaos Trump brings to just about everything he does.
And like any liar or any narcissist worth their salt, Trump wants everyone to focus on what he’s saying, not what’s he’s doing. Certainly not on those Epstein files.
To say that Donald Trump is far from fulfilling the “America First” policies he promised over and over for the MAGA crowd is nothing short of an understatement. Bored with peace and not interested one iota in upholding the Constitution or implementing real policies that help Americans, Trump instead ignores checks and balances with the end game of bankrupting America, hurting Americans as much as he can in the process.
