U.S-Iran policy is
closer to Israel than it has been in years.
“Trump Trashes Iran Deal to Satisfy Netanyahu”
I really do not think anyone needs to be told that, but I
still welcome anyone supporting the truth.
It is as obvious as if Trump had a Star of David branded
into his forehead while speaking about Iran, a country which has scrupulously
abided by its nuclear Agreement and a country, unlike Israel, which has in the
modern era never started a war.
It is a good measure of what a truly cowardly figure Trump
has proved to be.
Instead of the true long-term interests of the country he
was elected to lead, he goes against the testimony and concerns of every
statesman and nuclear expert in the world and risks instability and war.
And he has appointed, also undoubtedly at the behest of
Israel’s lobby, the biggest loud-mouthed hack ever to represent the United
States in the UN, Nikki Haley, who works hard at regularly sounding as though
she represented Israel rather than the US.
Of course, in that, as in almost her every word about
anything, she sounds much like a lunatic to most of the planet.
The true measure of cowardice in my view is a leader failing
to stand up to unfair and dangerous demands from special interests.
But that is exactly what Trump has done, just as he has
folded vis-a-vis the Washington establishment and the CIA.
A true coward, that’s our Trump.
Of course, the really dangerous thing is that he likely
knows this in his own heart of hearts.
