“Kill ‘em All”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I am a proud, lifelong pacifist. There are no “winners” in a war or any form of physical combat. Everyone loses, and no one can prove me wrong.

However, two mentally deranged white men are eagerly murdering thousands of innocent men, women, and children in what is being called “Trump’s Iran War.”

THE VIOLENCE BEGAN ON THE COAST OF VENEZUELA

Trump and his brother from another mother, Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, supported by an incompetent and fascist Pentagon, began murdering passengers on power boats racing along the shores of Venezuela. They claimed justification based on an unproven assertion that these boats were transporting illegal drugs.

Nothing has ever confirmed this old adage more accurately: “when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.” Trump is not intelligent enough to gaslight our nation’s people as he nears the age of 80.

The mainstream media will not report the exact number of those murdered by missiles fired from a U.S. Navy ship, but we know it exceeded 100.

During one situation, when survivors were observed in the water, Hegseth shouted the order: “kill ‘em all.”

Not only were these actions war crimes, our military violated the UCMJ.

NO LEGITIMATE REASON, NO PLAN, AND NO END IN SIGHT

It has become perfectly clear that Trump is “not the sharpest tool in the shed.” He knows nothing about anything.

First, a couple of facts.

If this is a “war,” Trump committed a serious Constitutional violation. Only Congress can declare war, and we know that the attacks on Iran were a unilateral decision made by one old, obese, incompetent man who is defiling our White House today.

If it is not a war, Trump owes the American people a fortune. The attacks are costing more than one billion dollars each day, and the orange buffoon is using your money to satisfy his personal desires. No American wants another unwinnable war in the Middle East.

Of course, if you know me, I did not watch Trump’s confusing and meaningless address to the nation last Wednesday evening. I will never allow someone to lie to me on television or anywerehe else. By all accounts, Trump appeared as he is, a lethargic, old man who is clearly suffering from dementia.

Once again, he offered no legitimate reason for his war. He was unclear about when the attacks would end. He refused to say whether or not the 17,000 soldiers off the shore of Iran would be forced to engage in military actions inside the shores of a sovereign nation, again.

WHAT TRUMP HAS ACCOMPLISHED, AND WHAT HE HAS NOT

Trump’s only accomplishments are offering proof that he is the worst illegitimate president in history, and he, alone, has increased the gap between America and the Muslim world

He has not “won” the war. The same regime remains in power, with the son of an Ayatollah in power. The fact that he is murdering thousands of innocent men, women, and children, who are devout Muslims, like their brothers and sisters, will never be forgotten. His vicious and evil actions will remain in their memories and those of generations to come..

No one, including yours truly, has any idea how this will end or if it ever will. However, I’m positive that I share more fear than hope with hundreds of millions of our nation’s 340 million people.
