In his 2017 book Bush, Jean Edward Smith, a biographer and the John Marshall Professor of Political Science at Marshall University, writes:
“Whether George W. Bush was the worst president in American history will be long debated, but his decision to invade Iraq is easily the worst foreign policy decision ever made by an American president.”[1]
Other military historians and scholars such as Andrew J. Bacevich have said similar things.[2] With the advent to Trump wielding his political sword for Israel and threatening Iran, I think the time to relieve George W. Bush of this weighty crown and to recognize Donald J. Trump’ accession to the diabolical/Israeli throne.
We know for certain that Trump has already asserted himself as a Zionist puppet. He is again trying to provoke Iran in order to lead America into another disaster in the Middle East. Don’t believe me?
In a Times of Israel article entitled “In threat to Iran, US sends heavy bombers to Middle East via Israel,” we are told:
“The United States this week rapidly deployed several heavy bombers to the Middle East this week in an apparent threat to Iran, amid swirling speculation that US President Donald Trump plans to take military action against Tehran before President-elect Joe Biden enters office. US Central Command said the planes were sent into the region ‘to deter aggression and reassure US partners and allies.’”[3]
Deter aggression? What aggression? From Iran? Do these political talking heads really believe in their own propaganda and machination? The article again reported the same thing that the New York Times has asserted earlier:
“The Trump administration is reportedly planning a bevy of wide-ranging sanctions on Iran to make it more difficult for the incoming administration to rejoin the nuclear deal. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited the region over the past week, including a stop in Israel, in which he told the Jerusalem Post that the US would consider a military strike against Iran.”[4]
Obviously that doesn’t look for Trump or the Israelis, who again will move heaven and earth to spread bloodshed all over the Middle East. They did that in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and now they are prepared to repeat the same thing in Iran.
As we have reported over the past four years or so, Israeli officials (most specifically Benjamin Netanyahu) don’t give a damn about you, the American people, or decent Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East. Remember what Netanyahu said right after the 9/11 attack?
“We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq,” said the mad man in Tel Aviv. Perpetual wars in the Middle East and the people who died after the 9/11 attack “swung American public opinion in our favor.”[5]
If that is not diabolical in the strict sense of the word, then nothing is. This man is happy because people are dying by the thousands. He is happy because the deaths of those people were making Israel great again.
The sad part of the story is that instead of telling the Israelis enough is enough, Trump and his crew are trying to please them by antagonizing Iran and trying to bring more bloodshed in the Middle East.
Well, if Joe Biden is planning to reverse this bloodshed, then decent people have to get behind him and say: “Tell Benjamin Netanyahu that he is still a chickenshit.” It’s not like we’re expecting Biden to be a saint. In fact, we are not even sure about what Biden will bring to the political table. But if he can deter Benjamin Netanyahu, if he can stop a war with Iran, then he will save America trillions of dollars.
