Will Trump Next Try To Kidnap Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei? – OpEd |
The Western media are assisting the descent into barbarism through their well-honed lies and pandering to the imperialist thuggery of Trump’s regime.
After all, America’s Supreme Leader, Donald Trump, boasted about kidnapping Venezuela’s president and declaring last week that he considers himself above international law, and there was no Western media criticism, never mind condemnation. So, who knows what thoughts are ricocheting around Trump’s delusional, megalomaniac mind?
The Western media are no check on abuse of power, as they laughably claim to be. They are cheerleading for more.
Trump is promising that American military help is on the way to Iranian protesters to “Make Iran Great Again.”
Only seven months ago, the U.S. president launched a “beautiful” blitzkrieg on Iran, bombing the country’s three civilian nuclear sites. That illegal aggression was carried out in conjunction with Israeli air strikes despite Trump supposedly at the time conducting exploratory negotiations with Tehran.
Trump is warning of further military intervention “to protect” Iranian gangs who have taken to violent protests on the streets of Tehran and other cities over the past three weeks. The Iranian government said any military action by the United States will mean all-out war against U.S. interests across the Middle East, including critical oil supplies.
The trouble with delusion is that there’s no stopping it; it’s self-reinforcing. Trump’s Delta Force abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and killing of hundreds of people on land and at sea reinforce his delusion of impunity and omnipotence.
The Western news media are also fueling the false narrative that Iran is collapsing........
