The US congress or people need to remove Donald Trump. In Canada we need a politician who will demand an immediate pause of US military overflights, officer exchanges and training missions as well as military accords and arms sales so long as the warmongering fanatic is in charge.
On Tuesday morning Trump posted: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
This apparent threat to drop nuclear bombs on Iran follows a series of ever more unhinged posts and actions. In the past few days, the US/Israel war machine has blown up Iranian energy facilities, rail lines, bridges and a synagogue. (Israel is also carrying out endless war crimes in Lebanon from blowing up thousand-year-old towns to demanding people not protect Shia refugees.) On Monday Trump declared, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
With a photo of Trump’s post I asked “Is a single politician calling to cancel any of Canada’s 500 military accords with US? Stop US warplanes flying over Canada? Pause officer exchanges, training missions and joint naval deployments?”
To the best of my knowledge no Canadian politician is calling to pause/investigate Canadian ties to the US military except for stopping certain weapons purchases from the US.
That’s not the case in other NATO countries. The secretary general of leftist Spanish party Podemos and former minister, Ione Belarra, posted, “Trump has just launched a full-blown nuclear threat. Trump and Netanyahu are the greatest threat to humanity’s security. Spain must immediately leave NATO and close the military bases in Rota and Morón. We cannot be complicit in this for one more minute.”
In the UK Labour MP and former party whip, Apsana Begum posted, “Trump is warning of complete catastrophe in Iran. Our Government can act and has a choice to make. It can withdraw all access to our military bases, with no overflight, landing or refuelling for the US, or drag the UK into a wider conflict. The British people do not want war.”
Former Labour MP and current Your Party leader, Zarah Sultana, posted a similar statement. Sultana noted, “Donald Trump has threatened to erase ‘a whole civilization’ in Iran and there are fears he may deploy a nuclear weapon. The genocide in Gaza wasn’t enough for them. They want genocide in Iran too. This Labour government is still handing them British bases to launch their illegal wars from. Keir Starmer’s hands are covered in blood.”
There’s something seriously wrong with a self-proclaimed ‘democratic’ political system supposedly ‘representing’ a population of which 55 percent say it should be illegal to join the American military (according to a poll released today by The Maple) yet not a single leading Canadian politician has demanded an immediate pause of all military accords, officer exchanges, training missions, joint naval deployments and weapons sales to the US military so long as the warmongering annexationist fanatic is in office.
