Donald Trump, The Iran War, And NATO Response

Ronald 30 Comments

Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu decided to provoke a war with Iran on February 28, when there was no imminent danger of Iran being a threat that had to be dealt with, without planning and coordination.

So far, 13 American servicemen and women have died; approximately 168 children and staff were killed at an elementary school in Teheran; neighboring nations in the Middle East have been dragged into the war by Iran utilizing drones and missiles; and the Strait of Hormuz has been declared off limits by Iran against nations attacking and causing loss of life and destruction of infrastructure and historic sites for the past 17 days.

The international economy is in crisis, as oil and gasoline supplies are affected by the war, and prices are skyrocketing.

Donald Trump is now threatening news media for their realistic, honest assessment of a war that was not necessary, and with the clear indication that Benjamin Netanyahu prodded Donald Trump into military action, something that earlier Presidents had not allowed to occur.

So it is understandable to anyone who is reasonable, that NATO allies and other nations outside of NATO, are not willing to commit to engagement in dealing with the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz

And Donald Trump is now threatening action against NATO allies because of their refusal, at this point, to get involved, as NATO is committed to support when a nation in its alliance is attacked, the “collective defense” argument, not where a war is waged by choice. And military involvement is meant to be within the general geographic area of the alliance’s members.

The nations that have shown reluctance include the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and the European Union, as well as nations outside NATO, including Japan, Australia, and even China!

But Donald Trump has no respect for NATO nations, nor nations outside of NATO, anymore than the rights of a free news media to report TRUTH and FACTS, not MYTHS and LIES!

    The 25th Amendment (Section 4), ratified in 1967, is the constitutional mechanism for removing a President deemed unable to discharge their duties, including due to mental or physical incompetence.

    Robert Mueller during his investigation into the associates of Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin with regards to Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, for Trumps defence, Trump’s lawyer’s told Robert Mueller that Trump cannot testify because he is incapable of telling the truth.

    Their defence was that “Trump was incompetent to stand trial!” This is a serious and dangerous mental illness.

    If this isn’t who the 25th Amendment was written about and applied to…. “Then Who For?”

    Wayne, the problem is that the 25th Amendment requires action by the Vice President and Cabinet Officers, and that is unlikely to occur! 🙁

    And Trump’s doing nothing about it; actually, he’s rewarding RUSSIA!

    Seems highly unlikely at the moment.
