News from the Middle East

I don't know what would be more damaging to Trump's approval ratings: the fact that he started this war without any good plan for winning it, or the fact that he will have ended it on the enemy's terms (if this is how it ends up playing out).
The fact that Trump started this war without having a good plan for winning it is the least of Trumps problems. Trump's unprovoked attack on Iran at the behest of another country is considered a war crime which has been compounded by more war crimes after another, e.g. targeting the children of IRGC commanders in a double tap of a school. Assassinating the leadership of Iran and attacks on civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and desalination plants. The US and Israel even bombed UNESCO heritage sites. Iran has some of the most spectacular architecture dating back thousands of years. What good reason is there for destroying these priceless heritage sites such as the one below. This is the Golestan Palace built in the 1600's. Israel bombed it for no good reason. Once these priceless treasures are gone, they are lost forever to future generations.


Why do you refer to Iran as "the enemy"? Iran is not the bad guy in this war. Iran never threatened the United States, it never really threatened Israel and yet it was attacked unprovoked in the midst of peace talks! Iran has never invaded a neighboring country, and it only launched attacks on Israel after Israel struck them first. It is not Iran that is murdering civilians on an industrial scale in Gaza and now Lebanon and Iran.

I wonder how many Canadian realize that we are headed for hardship if this war does not end soon. Even if it ended tomorrow, we will still be seeing big price hikes and shortages in Canada.
