United States has launched a new wave of attacks against Iran tonight. This one, however, doesn’t even have a fig leaf pretense that it is in response to anything Iran had previously done, only that President Trump got tired of waiting for an answer that he wanted to hear.
It is just a pernicious attack which breaks the cease-fire we ourselves authored.
This one is worse than anything else we have done so far, because it shows the absence of any adult thought across all levels of the US government. There is no strategy here, there is no evidence that this accomplishes any larger goal, it’s just “a strike“ against Iran.
Meanwhile, we can count on Iran firing back in ways that will certainly harm our interest in the region, and will push this war further and further away from a settlement.
Our strike tonight may finally unleash a return to full on war, especially depending on what Iran does in retaliation.
This act of using military force with no thought to what may come next, no understanding of what we even want to accomplish, nor the slightest bit of morality or responsibility, is deeply disappointing.
How can the current American government have any credibility with its own people, that it is looking out for our good? That it is trying to protect our interests at home or abroad? That it is anything, except a great bully who relishes meting out death and destruction on others?
That, my friend, is the world we live in today. There’s no resemblance to what our founding fathers envisioned, or what I have seen and experienced throughout most of my adult life.
This kind of behavior is likely to bring the American empire crashing down on our heads. It will not end well.
