On March 20, 2003, President George W. Bush ordered the Attack and occupation of Iraq over WMD that never existed at any time Bush was President. It was all a lie and misinformation claim even though Nuclear inspection teams were on the ground in Iraq for 7 years before Bush ordered the attack and just a few days before when Bush told them to leave Iraq. Those inspectors said over and over again, Iraq had no WMD. Now 23 years later, the convicted criminal President Donald Trump ordered the unprovoked attack on Iran over Nuclear Weapons that never existed at any time during Trump's first or second term in office. Israel's prime minister Netanyahu's military joined the attack and lied about Iran having a Nuclear Weapon going back to the Obama Presidency when he lied in an address to congress and said Iran would have a Nuclear Weapon in a matter of months. It never happened.
And of course, just months ago last year Trump ordered the bombing of Iran and after it was over said Iran Nuclear capacity was completely destroyed. Coupled with the latest CIA report that reported Iran would be no serious threat to America's national security in the next decade, the lie prevailed. So, like Bush before him, Trump took he country to war in Iran over a lie and misinformation. In doing so, Trump and Netanyahu became the same liars. It is easy to see what is taking place, Trump is Netanyahu stooge on Iran and the stooge of Russia's Putin on Ukraine. Never before has an American President allowed Netanyahu and Putin to direct the foreign policy of the United States.
The world is a more dangerous place because of Netanyahu and Trump's mental instability. The country's that have nuclear weapons attitude of we can have our Nuclear Weapons but no one else can is unsustainable and unstable and will end up in disaster. Every day brings the U.S. closer to a nuclear war on U.S. soil and events like the attack on Iran moves the clock closer and closer. Trump's failure to learn from the mistakes of the past indicates that the future will look like the failed past.
The U.S. has to hold Trump accountable and change its attitude toward its relationship with Israel as long as Netanyahu retains power.
