When Richard Nixon lied to the American people and stated that “I am not a crook,” he began a long history of lies by Republican presidents. Gerald Ford falsified the truth when he pardoned Nixon. Reagan and George H.W. Bush lied about the Iran/Contra arms deal. George W. Bush lied about his justification for invading Iraq in 2003. Trump lies about everything.
A war is looming between the United States and Iran. Trump voided one of the most successful agreements between Iran and America accomplished by President Obama and Secretary of State, John Kerry and relations between not only the nations involved, but also our allies who approved of the agreement reached a new low. Trump and his incompetent national security adviser, and war monger, John Bolton, are now inventing stories about Iran’s aggression with the intention of placing our nation in another unwinnable war in the Middle East.
Iran is a supporter of international terrorism. Its greatest enemy is Saudi Arabia. Both countries have a long history of verbal attacks against America and the Saudis harbored 15 of the 19 men who attacked our nation on September 11, 2001.
Here are the facts ignored by the mainstream media and our nation’s government. Trump is indebted to the Saudi royal family. In 1995 Trump’s business “empire” was failing. The Saudi Royal Family invested hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s failing businesses to save his pitiful future.
Trump authorized the sale of billions of dollars of American armament to Saudi Arabia in 2018 which would allow them to murder thousands of innocent Yemini people. These same armaments would be available to engage in warfare with Iran.
Trump is a puppet. He is controlled by Vladimir Putin and the Saudi Royal Family. His vile agenda is not his own. He lacks the intelligence to make long range plans. Trump is an opportunist and a traitor to the American people.
Trump’s puppets who include Bolton and Arkansas Senator, Tom Cotton, claim that a war with Iran would last for days are lying to the American people. Experts who know what they are doing offer a dim prophecy.
Bush claimed victory in Iraq after the first week of hostilities. America was engaged with the Iraqis for eight years and eight months and cost the lives of at least 4,400 Americans.
Military experts are warning that a war with Iran will be far worse. Their military is better trained, and better equipped, and America’s military forces are not trained to fight conflicts which do not involve modern military techniques.
The final truth is that there is no legitimate reason to place American personnel in harm’s way in Iran. If Trump had qualified diplomats in his administration, we would not be having this discussion. He has the worst and least qualified administration in history.
A real president would take any effort available to avoid war. Sadly. Trump lacks the intelligence to understand this fact. A second option is that Trump is aware that if our nation is engaged in a war on November 3, 2020, he has a chance to win reelection. American voters are unwilling to change leaders in wartime.
Impeach Trump.
Tell everyone; “The Truth Lives Here.”
