Actions Which Are Undeniably Declarations of War

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

This is what Trump’s Pentagon had to say after America bombed Iran yesterday.

[Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that America “does not seek war” with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country’s nuclear sites while Vice President JD Vance said the strikes have given Tehran a renewed chance of negotiating with Washington.]

What is the difference between bombing Iran and bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945? People are killed: some innocent, and some not. Bombing any nation, including retaliation for an attack on our own country is an act of war. Nations and their citizens around the world are angry about these attacks. The were the act of a bully, and a President of the United States.

Using weapons of mass destruction is not the only way in which one nation declares war on another.

In 2016, 2020, and 2024, Russia’s interference in our most sacred democratic process, our right to vote, were declarations of war. Vladimir Putin’s intent to place his own asset in the control of one entire nation is nothing less than an act of war. However, the cowards in Washington ignored the truth, and one entire party continues to celebrate Putin’s efforts.

When an American embassy is attacked, that is a declaration of war. Cyber attacks on our nation’s utilities, communications, and voting machines are declarations of war. Supporting another nation’s war is admitting that our nation agrees with the justification for Israel’s attacks on another sovereign nation. We have become partners with another wannabe dictator, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fact: the current government of the United States is composed of cowards, hypocrites, pretenders, and incompetents, who are corrupt and lie to the American people constantly without shame.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
