President Trump committed an act of war for Israel.\u00a0 This comes on top of some fool green-lighting an attack on the Russian strategic triad, an attack that was played down even by Putin himself.\u00a0 What will Washington\u2019s next reckless act be?<\/p>\n<p>Why did Putin green-light the attack on Iran by conveniently announcing that Russia\u2019s treaty with Iran did not include military support, a claim that John Helmer says is disproved by secret provisions in the treaty?<\/p>\n<p>Russia and China could have prevented the attack, but did nothing. \u00a0Peace in the Middle East could have been established with a Russian-Iranian-Chinese mutual security treaty. \u00a0Why do Russia and China prefer war to peace in the Middle East? \u00a0Where was Iran\u2019s air defense? \u00a0Why is Iran always a sitting duck devoid of initiative? \u00a0Why are Muslims happy fighting one another instead of their real enemies?<\/p>\n<p>Israel and Israel\u2019s Western puppets have turned war into an ongoing activity that does not need declaration. \u00a0For Israel\u2019s reasons, not for America\u2019s, President trump has militarily attacked a regional military power without Congress\u2019 declaration of war as required by the US Constitution. Clearly, war has prevailed over the Constitution. This began with Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency, and expanded with subsequent presidents. \u00a0Israel has obtained the power where Israel can send America to war and we hapless Americans can do nothing about it.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has undeclared nuclear weapons but can have Trump attack Iran\u2019s peaceful use of atomic power. \u00a0Israel can exterminate Palestinians and obliterate Gaza, without effective protest from any country. \u00a0But Iran is evil and against America if Iran stands up for itself. \u00a0Thanks to the US media and Israel\u2019s bought-and-paid-for US Congress, many years of Israeli propaganda against Iran has been driven into the heads of the American public, which will simply accept another of their country\u2019s acts of aggression against \u201cMuslim terrorists\u201d and \u201cweapons of mass destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the saddest part of this is it demonstrates once again that elections cannot change anything. \u00a0America cannot be made great again without a new political party led by people independent of Israel and the corrupt American Establishment. \u00a0These people would have to avoid being assassinated or arrested and prosecuted by the American Establishment. \u00a0This would require militant supporters willing and able to use violence. \u00a0Who is there to lead such a movement? \u00a0The American Establishment will not permit any such force to appear. The American Establishment would not even permit Americans to protest a stolen presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Conspiracy theorists will see in Russia and China\u2019s inaction their involvement in a globalist plot against any form of independence. How do we know they are not right? \u00a0What else explains the world sitting on its butt while Israel commits genocide of Palestine, and Washington, without a declaration of war, overthrows 5 countries, and is now working on a sixth, for Israel. \u00a0The seventh on the list is Saudi Arabia, and Netanyahu recently added Pakistan as the eighth. \u00a0Turkey will be the ninth. The extraordinary aggression that Washington and Israel have unleashed on the world seems never ending. \u00a0 Putin and Xi seem to think that Russia and China can sit them out, but Russia and China are the two main targets. \u00a0While Russia and China sit on their butts, they are being isolated from allies such as Iran and from one another.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had just given Iran two weeks to come to terms with his demands, and then launched a surprise attack the next day. \u00a0After such treachery, how can Putin possibly return to \u201cpeace negotiations?\u201d \u00a0As Putin is so averse to acknowledging reality that he dismisses Washington\u2019s attack on Russia\u2019s nuclear triad as \u201can act of terrorism, not of war,\u201d what will Washington\u2019s next attack on Russia be? \u00a0What is \u00a0Xi going to do when he finds he cannot wait out his adversary?<\/p>\n<p><em>And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
