Another day, another headline screaming war.
This time, the United States has launched a direct military strike on Iranian territory, sparking global panic and a swift retaliation. Iranian missiles have since struck a U.S. base in Doha, Qatar. But let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t spontaneous combustion. It’s a slow-motion bonfire fueled by decades of hypocrisy, imperial greed, and political theater—with Trump now holding the torch.
Let’s rewind to the 1980s.
Yes, the very same Iran that’s now being painted as a deadly threat was once America’s buddy. During the bloody Iran-Iraq War, the U.S. sup
plied Iran with weapons—illegally, under the table, Iran-Contra style—while also funding Saddam Hussein. Classic double-dip. When it served U.S. interests, Iran got the goods. Fast-forward 40 years and suddenly, without a shred of Congressional approval, Trump lobs a military assault like it’s just another round of golf.
Sound familiar?
This has been the M.O. in Nicaragua, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Places where American intervention creates more destruction than democracy. I have two cousins who served in Afghanistan. One was a sniper. Both returned changed forever. Their eyes carry stories they won’t tell, because the truth is: no one ever really knew why they were sent there.
And now? Trump, in what can only be described as a lawless grab for relevance and power, authorizes military aggression without Congressional oversight. No vote. No debate. No regard for global consequence. Just ego and instability wrapped in red, white, and "what the hell."
Iran retaliated with precision.
According to the UN Charter, nations have the right to defend themselves. Iran did. By responding directly to the base in Doha, they sent a clear message: you hit us, we hit back. That’s not terrorism. That’s symmetry.
But now the U.S. media machine will spin it. If any American troops are killed in this response, you can bet Trump will say they started it. It’s the oldest move in the book: provoke a response, cry foul, then unleash hell.
This isn’t defense. It’s deliberate destabilization. And it puts every life—Iranian, American, Qatari, and beyond—at risk.
Let’s also not forget the backdrop: NATO expansion. The Russia-Ukraine conflict didn’t emerge from a vacuum. It’s part of a long pattern of U.S. base-building, military posturing, and proxy war meddling. The United States maintains over 750 military bases in 80 countries. That’s not security. That’s empire.
So here’s the Bizarro360 take:
And now?
Trump, in what can only be described as a chaotic burst of ego and confusion, authorized military aggression without Congressional oversight. He’s not playing chess—he’s flipping the board. There’s no clear strategy, not even from his staff. Trump’s governing style is shock and surprise, often to the detriment of actual planning.
But here’s where it gets darker: multiple intelligence assessments and investigative reports have pointed to troubling ties between Trump and the Kremlin. Whether he’s aware of it or not, he’s acting as a pawn in Putin’s geopolitical game. This escalation with Iran? It may play straight into Russia’s long-game—further destabilizing NATO allies and fracturing Western influence.
The real question now: Will Russia openly support Iran as tensions rise? Will they take advantage of Trump’s reckless provocation to solidify a new axis of power—one that leaves America isolated and exhausted?
If this war escalates, it won’t be a matter of who’s right. It’ll be about who manipulated the chessboard to force the game. And Trump? He’s moving pawns with a Molotov in hand.
This man must be removed from office. Now. If the U.S. refuses to check its own power, the global community will be forced to do it instead. And for once, if war is so righteous and just, maybe it’s time it came to American soil—so people understand what it really costs.
Because from Vietnam to Venezuela, the blood always spills elsewhere.
But no more.
This time, if we don’t demand accountability, the whole world will burn—and it won’t be because Iran snapped. It’ll be because America, yet again, struck the match.
