Trump’s threats directed at Iran sound a lot like genocide

Flippant threats made against an entire people should disqualify any President from continuing to hold office. Sounds like he’s talking nuclear annihilation of a nation that’s done nothing more than insult him and refuse to bend to his will.

Our military can’t find the downed pilot

To think, bombing civilian infrastructure, murdering thousands, and attempting the total destruction of a country that hasn’t attacked you would actually make the civilian population want to rip you limb from limb. Rules of engagement exist in case one of our own is captured, but Trump has thrown any civility by the wayside. This may be the most consequential argument against a ground invasion. Trump’s indiscriminate, even gleeful, targeting of civilians means our POWs would be tortured and lynched almost immediately.

One month ago: Marine Corp veteran gets treated like trash by Capitol police

March 4th, Brian McGinnis gets violently dragged out of a Congressional hearing because he stood up and said “Israel is the reason for this war”. He is immediately attacked, no verbal warning, no one asks him first to leave peacefully. He’s brutally manhandled, yet continues to speak out, even when his arm breaks. The commentary at the end, “You’re all robots”, is perfect.

ICE arrests Soleimani’s niece and grand-niece in apparent hostage-taking

Iran has shot down our aircraft, and have apparently taken US soldiers hostage, because there is no other explanation for the arrest of Soleimani’s niece and grand-niece, other than leverage for a prisoner swap. They were in the country legally, by the way. Rubio’s revocation of their green cards was probably at the behest of Trump.

100,000 have died via Canada’s assisted suicide program

Canada, which abolished the death penalty in 1976, has executed 100,000 of its own citizens via MAID (medical assistance in dying) since its inception in 2016. The grim irony seems to be lost on the “humanitarian” crowd, and one wonders just how much “consent” many of these dead had given. Unlike pretty much every healthcare intervention in Canada, assisted suicide can be administered on the same day that its requested.  There is a horrific story of a Canadian war hero attempting to get medical help for mental trauma stemming from combat, and was offered MAID. Effectively offering to kill them.

When MAID was first implemented, skeptics warned that the slippery slope would lead from terminal patients all the way to anyone who happened to want to die at the moment. That slippery slope became more of a straight drop as horror stories of government sanctioned suicides of the depressed, mentally ill, and even merely injured began to emerge.

Amanda Achtman, a Canadian citizen, went to the doctor for back pain, and was offered MAID. What is going on here?

Canada even released and aired a ghoulish commercial promoting MAID, which comes off as a glorification/romanticization of suicide.

War of Ego

Trump, tending to his easily-wounded ego, is going to launch a ground invasion of Iran, and its only accomplishment will be the deaths of thousands of American troops. Of course, if this happens, Trump won’t relent, but will double down. He’ll send in tens of thousands more, and they’ll die too. Iran has 610,00 active-duty soldiers who, being soldiers defending against an invading force, have a will and reason to fight viciously.

I have a feeling that multiple people surrounding Trump are using variations of the familiar middle school phrase, “Are you really going to let them make you look like a fool?” or, “Iran is embarrassing you on the world stage!” We all know what effect this has on people like Trump. Soldiers will die because of it.
