Scorn, Revenge, Holy War... these are the responses we hear when citizens of Iran are asked how they see Trump's acts of war. These terms like "Jihad" have filtered through flowery newscasts about the Middle East for decades. Newscasts that evaded the question "why?".
Why do the millions of people in the Middle East hate Americans? Why are there trillions of dollars being spent for weapons to attack each other? How did the western world become so entwined in the societies of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Arab Emirates, Iran, Iraq etc.
The answer: Oil.
Our world's oil corporations have been digging into the Arab world for about 100 years now so they can profit from the oil beneath lands. LANDS THAT DON'T BELONG TO US!
This is not the first war over oil, and it won't be the last. Trump is sabotaging clean solar, wind, electric cars, and any technology that threatens to reduce the oil profits of his masters who paid for his presidency. The Dow, S&P and Nasdaq own Donald Trump. He's making billions playing the citizens of the world against each other all so that the flow of oil, and dollars remain in control of our lives.
We just saw Trump's ill-informed military bomb a school in Iran. That event alone will influence thousands of Iranians, and other haters of America to commit acts of revenge. The hatred is in part the fault of the Iranian controlled media that has been telling 30 million people that diplomatic solutions, peace talks were progressing between our two countries. In their minds the USA backed out of peaceful negotiations and is a cold-blooded murderous enemy. Their energy plants, hospitals, oil refineries and schools are destroyed. Thousands of their citizens are being buried in mass funerals. Their lives are now hell.
And what is our leadership telling us? Today, in front of Air Force One Trump said "Iran wants to end the war badly". Offering no real referring evidence of any such messages from the "changed regime". What regime? Who leads Iran now? Who is he talking to... himself?
The rest of the world has to live in the hell Trump has now created. There's no escape from the violent and economic strife coming to us all. This is what foul leadership looks like.
