Can anyone say “war crimes” !! That is exactly what he and his war mongering lapdogs are committing! I so look forward to a tribunal for each and every one of them!!
We are all familiar with the saying, Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Why in the world is Congress allowing a clearly deranged person lead a war, much less our government?
This is what “precision warfare” actually looks like in practice: threatening to destroy power plants, bridges, universities, and the basic infrastructure that civilians depend on to survive. When Donald Trump openly talks about making an entire country “live in hell,” it strips away any pretense that this is about narrowly defined military targets. It’s collective punishment, plain and simple.
The people in this story aren’t policymakers or generals—they’re teachers, students, artists—trying to decide whether to flee their homes or sit in the dark and hope the next strike doesn’t hit their neighborhood. You can oppose the Iranian government and still recognize that obliterating civilian infrastructure only guarantees long-term human suffering and instability.
If anything, this underscores how modern war is waged: not just against armies, but against societies themselves. And once you normalize that, there’s no real line left to defend.
Such an outrage! How is it in a so-called democracy, the American people are incapable of taking positive steps to remove the deranged madman in the White House? I never knew democracy meant acquiescence.
"Major universities and hospitals across Tehran and other parts of the country have been hit in Israeli and U.S. attacks, raising the fear—even among Iranians opposed to the government—that **the war is really about destroying Iranian society** rather than achieving its stated aim of stopping the Iranian nuclear program, or diminishing the capabilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps."
The logical conclusion, given who is solely **responsible** for the violence - the US and Israel - and precisely "how" this violence is being targeted is yes - the war really is about destroying Iranian society. I have seen nothing factual to counter this, and I've seen a whole lot to confirm it.
The US, however violent it has been to the region for decades, hasn't resorted to the Israeli strategy of "mowing the lawn". Until now. This can never be undone. Perhaps what can be undone is what **has not yet happened**. Things can still get far more horrifying, only limited by our imagination.
I'm appealing to anyone in any position of influence - anywhere - please throw a wrench in this escalating brutality by the US and Israel before they do the thing few of us are willing to even entertain. Yes, the worst **is** possible.
Francisco Goya The Disasters of War Plate 41: Escapan entre las llamas (They escape among the flames). People fleeing in panic from burning buildings in the background. Men and women some carrying each other run into the night, amidst chaos and terror. The courage and fear of the Iranians in 2026 responding to two indicted criminals killing civilians and rupturing their land was a horror depicted by the artist in rebuke of Napoleon's invasion.
Gaza was a test case for Western governments of how much tolerance they have for war crimes and genocide against Muslims. Except for Ireland and Spain, they all showed at least a strong tolerance, if not support, for these war crimes. Since they were willing to tolerate horrors committed on the most vulnerable population in the Middle East, Israel and the US are now moving on to Lebanon and Iran.
If this continues, the resulting displacement of a destabilized nation of 93 million will ultimately destabilize Europe far more than the Syrian refugee crisis did.
I still believe that there will be Nurenberg-style tribunals, but if and when they occur, they will be presided over by victorious BRICS nations. The west will never hold their own leaders accountable.
This war is not about an individual "psychotic" person named Trump. Genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and now a war of annihilation against Iran that seeks to destroy it as a "civilization" so well articulated by Trump, represents a certain system in the making for centuries. We also cannot forget Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, etc.
We Americans represent a society and a political-economic system that creates these monsters (Nixons, Kissingers, Dulles's, Hoovers, Reagans, Bushes, Clintons, Bidens, Trumps, and their enablers, the Sheldons, Wexners, Epsteins, etc.). The annihilation of West Asia, and destruction of Ukraine, with the arming and funding of Israel with 100% western backing, remains entirely our deadly project of elected politicians, beloved celebrities, and billionaires.
The everyday American must stage the equivalent of a French Revolution against the flawed rule of its leaders and the political system for the world to feel safe again. However, that will not happen so long as we continue to consume Fox news, CNN, sports, shopping, which so far have brought neither the country nor the world any peace and justice. The United States of death and destruction must be reined in by voters and taxpayers who hold the fate of the world in their American hands.
Iran's yearly military budget is less than $10 Billion. https://www.defensebudget.org/en/country/iran We are spending $2Billion a day. $70Billion so far, but I would guess more. Trump is so angry that he can't WIN (although claiming we won "in the first hour") and many claims of "winning" since - especially after losing several expensive aircraft to a country that has "no air defense" - that he is lashing out at bridges and other civilian infrastructure. Will bombing schools and hospitals turn the tide ? Never.

But who is going to punish trump and bibi for war crimes. International law is useless
I know it’s a long shot, but Nuremberg was a long shot in the beginning. Where there is a moral imperative there has to be a way!
Exactly

<Why in the world is Congress allowing a clearly deranged person lead a war?>
It's the same reason that they gave 58 standing ovations to an indicted war criminal. They know who is really calling the shots.
really got to wonder.

Trump appears to be in full psychosis mode now. It's time to use the 25th Amendment.
I wish I could do more to help the people stuck in trumps psychotic war :(

Time to take the car keys away from Grandpa.
Terrorists USA and Israel. Trump wrecking the world economy. as he does .
Netanyahu must be real happy that Trump has come around to his way of commiting war crimes.

Not all is lost - yet.
