Trump has forced America into its worst modern defeat & threats of war crime and genocide demand he be removed from office
The Trump Iran war defeat isn’t just a foreign policy failure — it’s a moment that raises serious questions about leadership, accountability, and the limits of American power in a rapidly shifting world.
Hooton is 100% correct, Trump’s desperation to get out of the worst geopolitical blunder since Vietnam has manufactured the worst defeat in America’s modern history…
Donald Trump capitulates totally to Iran – Matthew Hooton
It took the Vietcong 10 years to humiliate the United States. The Taliban did it in 20. Iran has taken just six weeks.
A defeat measured in weeks, not years
In every respect, the US’s national security and ability to project power – and thus the security of its friends and allies – is weaker than on February 27, the day before US President Donald Trump yielded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s 30-year insistence that destroying Iran’s theocracy is necessary for peace in the Middle East.

…Trump has lost to a Theocracy!
Do you know how badly you have to miscalculate to hand victory to a theocracy?
Iran still has its nuclear weapons, it still holds the Strait of Hormuz closed and they have greater hold over the Iranian people than ever before!
Trump’s insane blunder has actually empowered the Iranian regime!!!
This wasn’t strategy. It was escalation without a plan.
When rhetoric crosses into something far darker
As for him promising war crimes and actual genocide???
You can argue those statements were a toxic negotiating tactic, but I think actually the fact he made those statements at all, regardless of the claim that it was a negotiating tactic, are so far from anything we would consider decent that he has to be removed from office.
Promising war crimes is an obscenity. Threatening genocide is an abomination.
These are the words of fascists.
He has debased himself and disgraced the position of President for an illegal war alongside Netanyahu, a leader already drenched in allegations of genocide who has an active war crime arrest warrant on his head.
We are all paying for the cruelty of Israel and America, they are the rogue nations here, not Iran!
Remember, by refusing to denounce Israel and America in their illegal war against Iran, National, ACT and NZ First are all on the side of the are war criminals, hell, Luxon is still not certain if America bombing a school and killing 165 school girls is a war crime!
Because this isn’t just about one war, or one decision. It’s about what happens when power is exercised without restraint, without strategy, and without accountability. And the consequences of that don’t stay contained — they ripple outward, and we all pay.
Yeah, give Zionism a bit of Europe or even better, a piece of the Disunited States of America. Alaska comes to mind
Nectar weapons?
Trump can’t control the leader of the so called master race. He’s been played by Benjamin Meliekowski (Netanyahu).
The UN had no right to partition Palestein in 1947. They got played too.
This festering wound won’t heal until Israel moves back to Europe.
I get reminded of another strongman in the past years. Remember that Duterte who lead the Phillipines through years of a bloody campaign on the war on drugs?
He had nicknames like “Duterte Harry” and “The Punisher” once infamously likened himself to Hitler, declaring he “would be happy to slaughter” the millions of drug addicts that he said was destroying his country. He was lauded to his emotive simplistic solutions to a complex problem like a blunt cudgel and the populist masses lapped it up mindlessly. The result was years of terror, extra judicial violence and vigilante indiscriminate killing on thousands without due process.
He’s now doing the rounds of the ICC at the Hague for the consequences of multiple crimes against humanity. Should serve as a textbook reminder for the consequences for the casual attitude to attrocities of such demagogues.

I wonder how Trump and all his cohort will fare?
