Is Donald Trump going to continue the ways of the Bush Republican War Party?

For all of the good things Trump has done thus far, he has wasted no time in beating the war drums against Iran. The rhetoric of Trump and Mattis and Flynn is eerily similar to the rhetoric of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld back in 2002 & 3.

Iran is being painted as the next Big Bad Wolf that the U.S. must attack in order to “save the world.” But why?

Iran is condemned because Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked a Saudi warship and Tehran tested a missile. For this, “American lives are at risk.” Really? How so?

The Saudis have been bombing the Houthi rebels and ravaging their country, Yemen, for TWO YEARS. Saudi Arabia is apparently exempt from retaliation from wars it starts. But one act of self-defense by the Yemenese and Donald Trump puts Iran “on notice”– and generals Mattis and Flynn declare it to be America and the world’s greatest threat. Really?

Where is the evidence that Iran even had a role in the Houthi’s attack against the Saudi ship? Plus the UN resolution only forbade Iran from testing nuclear missiles, not conventional ones–which Tehran insists this test was.

Of course, the globalist warmonger Benjamin Netanyahu is cheering Trump on. Perpetual war in the Middle East is Bibi’s best friend.

Is it any coincidence that the Saudi king spoke with Trump on Sunday and then suddenly the Trump administration is beating the war drums against Saudi Arabia’s mortal enemy, Iran? The Sunni Muslim government of Saudi Arabia has long salivated over conquering the Shia Muslim government of Iran.

Trump’s public rhetoric makes a collision with Iran almost inevitable. Did Trump learn NOTHING from G.W. Bush and Barack Obama? An unnecessary and unprovoked war in Iraq. Wars in Libya, Syria, and Yemen costing trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives. Not to mention a global harvest of hatred against America that launched Al Qaeda and ISIS. Oh, yes, and there’s also the little matter that Iran and Russia are committed allies.

Trump said he wanted a less-hostile relationship with Putin’s Russia. Well, going to war with Iran is NOT the way to do it.

Perhaps Trump is listening to the advice of the War Party members that he foolishly appointed to his cabinet. (I tried to warn people about these appointments when they occurred–but I didn’t think the bitter fruit of these appointments would ripen in only two weeks after his inauguration) Convincing Trump to go to war with Iran would be a good way to make him a one-term President.

The American people didn’t put Trump in office for him to take the United States into yet another unnecessary and unprovoked Middle Eastern war. But it looks like that is exactly what he is going to do.
