Trump wrongly seeing Israel, US national interests as equivalent regarding Iran missiles

TABNAK, Dec. 27 – Former US diplomat says that Trump seems to be instinctively parroting Netanyahu, wrongly seeing Israel and American national interests as equivalent.

Donald Trump stated a few days ago: “Iran is rapidly rebuilding their missile program. They can try, but reviving the nuclear program will take Iran a long time — and if they try to rebuild and revive it without a deal, we will destroy it again. We can also quickly take out Iran’s missiles.” It appears that Trump is talking about a “preventive war” against Iran’s missile program. He has also attacked Iran’s nuclear program (claiming “preemptive war”) by striking the Natanz, Fordow, and Esfahan facilities. What is your assessment of his claim of a preventive war against Iran’s missile program?

President Trump’s talk about attacking Iran’s missiles is a departure from previous policy . . .

LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .

How can you say “the strikes completely and totally obliterated ” Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities?” — or, more exactly, “destroyed” something and then, after a month or so, have to “destroy it again”? Even Netanyahu knows better, and therefore Trump is avoiding him and the “truth” because he was wrong the first time.

Trump is still trying to cover-up his original lie that he had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities with his weekend war ridiculously called “Operation Midnight Hammer” although everyone on planet Earth who pays any attention to his actions knows what he did, and why it was wrong, and yet we look the other way and refuse to put 100% of the blame on him — where it truly is — while he pretends to have the situation under control and has moved on to “other” priorities.

To make a long story short, Trump should have been removed from office unilaterally for his egotistic attack on Iran that did nothing but make the world’s nuclear war anxiety greater than ever before, and seems to put the “blame” on Netanyahu for concincing him the weekend war was nas necessary to stop Iran in whatever “tracks” it was making. The whole informed world sees through this obvious “game” of “no-truth or consequences” that Trump is playing. In my opinion, his actions then and now, among many others, are threatening the future of the entire world. ~llaw
