Trump is finished. He said he would stop both wars on his first day in office and instead he gave the Israelis the green light to bomb Iran. Remember when Sen. John McCain sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"? I'm sure McCain's in hell enjoying what little he can with this, but the rest of us, who are sane, can only watch in horror as the US and its pit-bull Israel play with matches next to a swimming pool filled with petrol!

Article 25 before it's too late!

It's the manufactured war between Christians and Muslims that the fraternal orders wrote about.

12h

 The last interview with the martyr Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi, where the host asked him: Do you not fear assassination?

He replied: We live normally. Were we afraid before? Are we afraid now? Previously, they spoke and put my name on a list and said you will be assassinated. I told them thank you, what should I do?

In conclusion, I have done what I needed to do, and we have grown older. ***Most importantly, young people are doing the work that we used to do.*** We are now here only to live and joke around.

Richard Dalton, ex British ambassador to Iran, is asked if Israels attacks make it more likely Iran will develop nuclear weapons

"Yes.. when a country has been exposed to an illegal aggression.. it is not prone to surrender, it is prone to develop additional means of deterrence"

Israel doesn’t need US taxpayers’ money for defense if it already has enough to start offensive wars.

I vote not to fund this war of aggression.

Also from the WSJ,

Trump said the markets would respond positively if Iran's nuclear capacity was diminished. "I think ultimately, it would be great for the market because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon," he said. "It will be great for the market—should be the greatest thing ever for the market. Iran won't have a nuclear weapon that was a great threat to humanity."

The markets will respond positively because the people who run the markets bought and paid for this attack.

If this doesn't go well it blows up his presidency, I think. I have no idea what going well means. We don't appear to be capable of much of a fight.

I’m seeing lots of crowing about how successful these attacks were. Many high level Iranian officials were assassinated. The nuclear enrichment site was blown up spreading poison everywhere etc. Not sure what to believe. It’s hard to understand why the Iranians would not have expected these assassinations and done more to protect the leadership.

The hard core MAGA crowd will continue to support Trump no matter what. If Trump does it, it must be right! And if Israel does it, why it’s ordained from on high.

I don’t trust a syllable that comes out of Trump’s mouth, and neither should any world leader. He is unstable in all his ways.

The next 3 years with him at the helm aren’t going to be much better than Biden.

Apparently with God's blessing too. I object to Trump taking the Lord's name in vain.

Lots of crowing, from the crowd that crowed about the pager attacks, in the WSJ:

"In Twist, U.S. Diplomacy Served as Cover for Israeli Surprise Attack;

Talks seen as a way to keep the peace gave Israel the opportunity to land heavy military blows,"

because that is what talks are for.

Israeli tabloids this morning are saying that Trump asked Netanyahu to conceal US involvement and Netanyahu agreed to lie to protect Trump.

Well, Trump is NOT protected from the wrath of American citizens like me.

Nobody likes a deceiver, and Donald Trump is that.

Tomorrow, June 14, a military parade will take place in D.C. If missiles are hauled down the street, it will be one of the stupidest things Trump has ever done.

I am antiwar. I am anti-attacking a sovereign country.

I am angry and I am upset and I am praying.
