The authority to declare war
 

Trump justifies the death of 63 Canadians by saying, "somebody could have made a mistake on the other side." But the "other side" allegedly did not produce any casualties, is that yet another lie?

When Trump insists, "it wasn't us, it was them" the exact opposite is true and the Trump Regime should be held directly responsible for shooting down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752. The optics of the instant assertion that the damage was caused by fire from a Soviet-built surface-to-air missile is very interesting but the obsession to misdirect is disgusting.

Clearly, Airlines Flight 752 was not hit because the airline was reckless, as CNN pundits repeatedly assert.

It is President Donald Trump and the parties who sought to change Iran's regime who were reckless and therefore responsible for killing the passengers on Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.

The direct consequence of tit-for-tat aggression is very clear and it must be acknowledged. The passion and the hatred that war inflames is undeniable and it has a single outcome -dead bodies on both sides.

Even the Gulf War in 1991, which was heralded to be "perfect', to use Trump's favorite word, represented an unecessary and unreasonable loss of life and if that is not a common insight, it should be. Look at the faces of all this promise, and you will get it. Read every single bio of those beautiful young Americans, 97 in total, and ask yourself these question; why did they die? Was it worth it? Was it their obligation to liberate Kuwait? No, they died to satisfy the desires and the paranoia of one man, George Bush Sr., following succinct summmation by U.S. political analyst William Blum, a former State Department official, is undeniable;

"The U.S. military and President Bush would have their massive show of power, their super-hi-tech real war games, and no signals from Iraq or any peacenik would be allowed to spoil it." As a consequence, the United States, with support from its Western allies, attacked Iraq and imposed a massive military presence in the Gulf region.

Make history your only guide because that is the closest you will ever get, to understanding as much of the truth as possible.

If you really want to understand the nature of a conflict, resist the urge to be manipulated by one side or the other because that is all you ever get when ideas are sold like toothpaste.

Do not scapegoat or demmonize, that is ultimately what war criminals do and it is time to cease the entire practice for the sake of clarity. The obsession to blindly blame the other side is a prescription for unleashing endless wars.

Under the circumstances, every time that President Trump brags about killing a terrorist, the assertion that the world is safer as a consequence is not only meaningless, it is actually a triggering factor of a threatened hot war because nations like Iraq, Iran and Syria have become proxy battlegrounds of competing, Superpower interests and the need to engage in diplomacy is consequently not just an option, it is the only, acceptable practice.

What Trump sees as a weakness is consequently the blindspot which has made him a war criminal, and that is very clear to anybody who is reasonable and objective enough to be able to understand the folly of the current claim that America is prepared to "finish the war" with Iran.

The only existing productive objective is to end the war with Iran, everything else is merely posture, tactic and propaganda, and it blocks the simple, undeniable acknowledgement that war threatens the national security of all.

The Trump Administration's absurd claim that the world is a safer place because one man was murdered defies logic and the fact is, the world is more dangerous than ever before and that will always be true until both sides, Iran and the US, resolve to settle their differences without war, and that's the bottom line.
