And when you said at Davos, "Stop invoking rules-based international order" we didn't know that meant "abandon the rules-based international order."

Canada stayed out of Iraq, because it was ILLEGAL. Just like this is.

You shame this country.

Fact-Checking Trump’s Justifications for Attacking Iran

β€œThere is no imminent threat,” Daryl G. Kimball, the executive director of the Arms Control Association, wrote in a recent journal article. β€œIran is not close to β€˜weaponizing’ its nuclear material so as to justify another U.S. attack.”

"Yet still the man who was given a Nobel peace prize by true winner [Machado ]– and kept it! – has launched Operation Epic Fury on an unready world. As Ben Rhodes, a former deputy national security adviser under Barack Obama, tweeted: β€œTrump’s second term has been the worst-case scenario.”

"Iran, however, is a gamble of an entirely different magnitude and the president is yet to articulate a long-term strategy beyond hoping for the best. The lesson of Iraq is that regime change is the easy part, but what happens next can be hell."

Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history The US president upended half a century of US foreign policy in an eight-minute video with another attempt at Middle Eastern regime change

"Each time, the experts warned of catastrophe; each time, something less than Armageddon happened, and so Trump felt increasingly emboldened to roll the dice again. (​Even his demolition of the [WH Wing] was a case of β€œact now, let others ask questions later”.)"

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
