Two Losers: Donald Trump and the Pentagon: Lose Again

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

When we look at who we were fighting, it’s hard to believe that the biggest and most expensive military in the world lost its fifth war since the end of WWII. For Trump and Hegseth, it’s their first: so far.

“When I’m your president, there will be no more wars.” “There will be no peace with Iran until they abandon their efforts to develop nuclear weapons.” Just two of Trump’s hundreds of thousands of lies since 2015.

FASCISM LOSES ANOTHER ONE

Trump, Hegseth, and the Pentagon, by design are fascists. And like their heroes, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Emperor Hirohito, and Vladimir Putin, they lost a war intended to display their power and desire for world domination.

For Trump, his war against Iran was intended to be a distraction from the investigation into pedophile Jeffrey Trump’s personal records. However, after three-and-one-half months, and a waste of between one and two hundred billion taxpayer dollars, there is no end. Only a two-month ceasefire has been agreed to.

While Trump continues to follow the plans included in his 922-page fascist manifesto, “Project 2025,” the Pentagon and all other military and law enforcement institutions are fascist by design. Power over others, designated by rank, is compulsory if these organizations are to survive. Every soldier must obey the orders of any individual whose superiority is identified by the insignia he or she wears on their uniform.

WHAT TRUMP’S WAR ACCOMPLISHED

Trump’s stated goals for waging a war on Iran have not and will not become reality. Iran remains a Theocracy, and its nuclear programs remain operable and in need of only minor repairs.

[Reports indicate that more than 1,700 Iranian civilians and forces have lost their lives in the conflict with the United States and Israel. This staggering toll includes at least 254 children and thousands of individuals who have been displaced from their homes across the region.]

13 Americans have perished: none of them on the ground in Iran.

It is abundantly clear that this illegal and immoral war was not pre-planned. It is a disaster on all fronts.

Trump, Hegseth, and our leaders in the Pentagon are nothing less than war criminals. There was no justification for Trump’s attacks on another Middle East nation.
