2020 is not 1979 - Trump may just have united all of America's enemies in the region

Make mistake. United States (US) has launched a war on a sovereign nation and Iran is retaliating. That is something President Donald Trump was t prepared for after Washington assassinated Iran’s Major General Qassem Soleimani. It is t going to end here. Ships and planes are moving around in region. Flights have been rerouted. Just ask yourself one question- when was last time you saw a country take on US aggression?

Trump has just spoken. He has promised to defend American lives. He has threatened Iran with sanctions. Anyone with an inkling of history kws sanctions never work. y drive business underground or find or routes.

world is t on brink of a major war. t every leer is stupid. Today’s wars are fought differently, grammar for which will be defined by people on ground. Iran will extract its price. Trump has mand to unite a ginger group of America’s enemies in Middle East and we will hear from m in coming weeks and years in good and terrible ways. Soleimani h blood on his hands as do many American Presidents. I kw of a few leers who don’t. His assassination was a mistake.

Re: What Is European Union Defending In Malta? 

America’s political problem with Iran is its geography. A lot of people and leers are commenting. Many are uninformed or struggling with manufactured morhood and apple-pie statements before and after Trump’s speech. He is leer of world’s strongest democracy. It would be wise to wait and watch what Russia and China do next should Washington continue on its missile spree. terrible part in all this is that Trump has me every American a target. Why should young ults from America fight a war that neir brings m prosperity r peace? Will horror of body bags and coffins draped flags return?

Let us also get a few or facts clear. 2020 is t 1979 when Iranian students held Americans host at US embassy in Tehran. Berlin wall has fallen since taking with it all drums, sticks and stones on which Cold War logic was constructed and heaped on an unsuspecting world. Bretton Woods organizations stand exposed, tre wars have destroyed last shreds of multilateralism world was clinging on to and re are over a billion more mouths to feed in a part of world that has been maintained as consistently poor.

As I write, pundits in Washington and ir echo chambers in Anglo Saxon newsrooms are crying hoarse asking if evidence to kill Soleimani was “thin” or “razor-thin,” suggesting y are petrified to hear ir own voices lest someone is soping on m. Go on, say it for your sake– Trump is a liar. Re local press and listen to local rio for or views. Also, remember that foreign policy and national security is party agstic in superpowers. When it comes to bombing countries neir Republicans r Democrats in America can point fingers at each or, much less rest of world. y are all in it for oil.

Re: Justice For India

“Iran dominates Straits of Hormuz, world’s single most important oil route with over a sixth of world’s petroleum products are transported and also provide deep access into Central Asia over land and through huge water body of Caspian Sea,” tweeted Retired Air Marshal.

This alone has been an eyesore for America ever since Iran’s 1979 revolution. I remember 1979, roots of which are to be found in deces-long plundering of country by Shah of Iran (re history) and his hundred families that fled when Shah fell. rich went to America and Europe and many of less well off came to Bangalore in south India and integrated with Indians. Some of Europe’s best doctors are Iranian refugees, fleeing both Shah and Ayatollah Khomeini, who planned his revolution in France.

Link it to 1972 oil crisis and how a smiling or sulking Saudi Arabia– a continuous culprit that is cause of random bloodshed even w including Wahhabi Islam- would bankrupt ecomies. I remember Gulf War and mindless bombing of Iraq by Washington of children’s hospitals and aid centres in search of inexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs).

'Death to America' is t a new slogan. It is a terrible one, but it is one that American Presidents generously cultivated. Such was hatred for US n that diplomats could be heard saying y wished Iraqi dictator Sdam Hussein h gone beyond Kuwait to capture Riyh and sit on some 40 percent of global oil. I remember seven-year-long Iran-Iraq war where Soleimani emerged as a leer and Washington let him down preferring to back Sdam Hussein because latter was greedy and pliable in dition to mercilessly killing Kurds. Iran is neir Iraq r Libya. Neir is it Bosnia.

Re: Human Beings Are Flawed And BBC-Munchetty Episode Tells Us Why

2020 is t 1979. re’s been Afghanistan, Turkey, Syria and I’ll skip rest. Millions of people around world have aspirations and y are neir rooted in religion r rebellion, much less vengeance and vitriol. In preceding lines, I asked if you kw of any country that has retaliated against American aggression? NATO will meet later this week for ar meeting.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said his country was founded on tolerance and y respect history. Irony died a thousand deaths. We just “celebrated” thanksgiving and gasped at original inhabitants of land who w live in reservations without any prospects of a decent life.

Trump's comments are peppered with “we” and “y.” We didn’t start war, y did is high school bully langu. Trump is a bully and he has exposed every American as a possible target. Somebody called him a lusty hater and a poor loser. This all world needs.

I have seen best and worst of America. people of this great country deserve better than a president who sends m for target practice as cann fodder while he plays golf.
