New infographic: Why Trump's desperate Hormuz gambit is a TRAP for America
You know who economically benefits from the closing of the Straight of Hormuz? RUSSIA.
By starting this war, Trump and Netanyahu are filling Russia's coffers with billions in extra profits as oil supply chains crater and prices rise.
And as Trump pulls THAAD air defense batteries from South Korea, China and North Korea celebrate because it makes South Korea less able to defend itself. Taiwan is also similarly concerned, no doubt, given that Trump is demanding numerous countries turn over air defense interceptor munitions so that Israel can have more ammo, even if it means leaving everybody else (including Gulf states) more vulnerable.
Trump's war actions are causing PANIC among America's allies, while generating PROFITS and opportunities across America's strategic enemies.
Remember when you were younger and used to watch movies and root for "the good guys" to win? Because the good guys had the moral high ground, you see. They deserved to win because they had righteousness and truth on their side.
If you're rooting for Israel and the USA in the war against Iran right now, you're not rooting for the good guys. You're rooting for an empire of deception, violence and brutality that values no life, honors no rule of law and respects no right of anyone else to exist.
If you hope to be a good person and to help make the world a better place, OPPOSE wars, genocide and the slaughter of innocents. And that means opposing the actions of Israel and the American empire right now, as they are the two largest initiators of violence, terror and death around the world over the last decade.
And if you are an American reading this and you LOVE your country, you should love it enough to demand an end to the brutal wars that America's leadership keeps initiating by choice. Loving America means loving the PRINCIPLES on which America was founded, not blindly following an administration that has twisted and weaponized those principles to serve a foreign master while betraying his own nation.
I love America. I despise the failed politicians currently running it.
