Kustra commentary ignores US criminality in Iran war to promote renewed US involvement in lost Ukraine war

 

Bob Kustra’s Chicago Tribune op ed ‘Donald Trump’s war on Iran masks his support of Vladimir Putin’ represents an astonishing pivot from addressing possibly the most catastrophic criminal war in US history to promoting renewed US involvement in the lost war in Ukraine

 

To Kustra, Trump’s war in Iran is not the supreme international crime, just a diversion initiated by Trump to deflect the media from the Ukraine war.

 

Kustra ignores 14 years of US provocations seeking to march NATO and its nukes up to Russia’s borders with Ukraine, to put all the blame for the current war on Russia. Then he suggests the US jump back into this lost war with “stronger action” a meaningless suggestion detached from reality. Trump has correctly abandoned the Ukraine war, letting European NATO members bankrupt themselves giving Ukraine weapons having no impact on Russia’s impending victory whatsoever.

 

Trump is a monstrous war criminal killing thousands bombing 7 countries and now likely crashing the world economy over Iran. But he was sensible enough to dump predecessor Biden’s colossal blundering into war destroying Ukraine, possibly and thankfully dissolving NATO 35 years after the Soviet Union went poof.

 

Kustra ends by lamenting the real lesson of Trump’s criminal war blowing up the Middle East is that it “suits Trump just fine as he avoids any responsibility for deserting Ukraine as it continues to fight off the war criminal Putin.”

 

Time for Bob Kustra to take a remedial course in Political Science 101.
