Friends don't goad friends into criminal war




One of the most dangerous actions against the United States and world peace ever, got little notice last Monday. This refers, of course, to the shameful and false presentation by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran is in violation of the 5+1 nuclear agreement requiring the US to withdraw from this pact up for re-approval May 12. US Withdrawal blows up detente with Iran; threatening them with regime change, either in the form of economic collapse or outright war, and likely sabotages striking a nuclear deal with North Korea. Nobody outside of Israel's Likud Party and US hard line war hawks like National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo give any credence to Natanyahu's baseless charges. Trump has been demonizing the Iran agreement as a ludicrous campaign pledge and presidential position for nearly three years now since this war saving deal was implemented by Obama. Trump knows nothing of its substance and appears utterly deranged in how recklessly he puts America and the world at risk with his relentless threats to end it. Netanyahu, fully aware of how easily he can manipulate, intimidate and fool a totally unfit president, played the Iran war card to perfection with his nuclear fairy tale. Netanyahu hated Obama because he couldn't goad him into war with Iran. With Trump he's got the stooge he's longed for. Maybe, to take a page from Facebook, it's time to de-friend Netanyahu and Israel's Likud Party. Friends don't goad friends into criminal, self destructive war.
