I think that if Iran can keep up the economic damage for another week that Trump will be "finished" in the sense of his ability to accomplish anything outside of his pure Presidential powers. Conservatives, like me, who only supported him because the other choice was Kamala Harris, will want him "contained" by Congress and the Courts, so that his additional damage to us all is minimized until January 2029.
What Israel and the USA have done to Iran and the other nations of the Gulf is unconscionable. The destruction of lives and livelihoods for years to come is appalling. The attack on the girl's school in Minab should be investigated by the UN or ICC as a war crime.
Trump has forever sullied the honor of the US with this war of choice. It is even worse that George Bush's war on Iraq. Taken together, the US must, must step back from following Israel to hell. We must, must regain our belief in universal human rights, the rights of all humans to live in peace and to pursue prosperity.
Unfortunately, my good friend, the world doesn't function that way. You know, some animals tend to be considered greater than others. The Americans have set the standard, and this process didn't start with Trump but goes back decades due to established policies; he followed a pattern his predecessors had followed religiously.
One last thing I would like to get off my chest: do not further demean our honor and insult us further by asking for any investigations by the UN or ICC. Wanting accountability is a natural reaction. But the institutions you’re pointing to—the UN, the ICC—have shown time and again that they cannot act meaningfully when major powers are involved. Why even attempt to lead us down this winding path that leads to nowhere? If the deaths of over 70,000+ civilians in Gaza, and constant resupply of war articles to Israel, didn't move the needle, what makes you think this will?
How can you request something that you know can never be delivered?
