LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and beyond . . .
And the conflict between Iran/Russia and Israel/USA grows on, becoming more precariously dangerous every day and Trump is leading the unnecessary friction almost as if he is inviting nuclear war. Trump began it all in March 2025, less than 3 months after he took office. The entire issue has only become worse and now borders on potential nuclear war.
“Trump should know that intervention by the U.S. in the domestic problem corresponds to chaos in the entire region and the destruction of the U.S. interests,” Larijani wrote on X, which the Iranian government blocks. “The people of the U.S. should know that Trump began the adventurism. They should take care of their own soldiers.” ~ Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani in Beiru
Trump, continues to fan the threat of nuclear war between Iran and Israel/USA, by interfering with Iran’s own internal problems — which of course is none of Trump’s business unless he feels guilty about this whole now becoming increasingly hotter by the day conflict that Trump himself began by first abandoning a potential agreement that Iran had agreed to negotiate and then, second, leading up to Trump’s weekend war meant to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities and supporting Israel’s 10-day war.
And every day the tension and rapidly-growing anger — which Trump seems to be generating all by himself — feels like it’s leading to a devastating war that could include, not only Iran, but their ally, Russia.
Trump must be silenced before his thoughtless ill-conceived uneducated, self-aggrandizing authoritarianism, and his mentally-ill self-centered egotistical so-called “presidential leadership” causes Word War III.
And, of course, this is not all of his ill-conceived global attacks on other countries, but this one is the most dangerous and the most volatile . . .
Whatever it takes congress and the supreme court must remove him from office immediately . . . ~llaw
