For President George W. Bush, #WMD meant 'Weapons of Mass Destruction.'

For President Donald J. Trump, WMD means 'Wars of Mass Distraction.'

US soldiers "may die." Patriotic Charlatan-in-Chief Donald Tantrump likely hopes many will die, to get America back on his side.

The first lesson of war is ‘know your enemy’ – and Britain’s enemy now is Donald Trump

As the Iran disaster escalates, the US president should be seen as an enemy whose actions threaten the lawful, democratic way of life everywhere, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

In 1964, the US Government tasked three civilian #physics postdocs with designing a #nuclear #weapon from scratch. Thus was born the #NthCountryProject: an experiment to determine just how easily other nations could independently complete their own #ManhattanProject.

I am becoming increasingly concerned that Donald Trump will order the use of #NuclearWeapons in #Iran, and that no one in the military chain of command will refuse the order. #USpol #WMD #2026IranWar
If you wish to argue we've learned nothing from the #GWBush administration's #WMD lies, look no further than the fact that at least 75% of the "experts" your favorite #Media outlet employs to discuss the latest #TrumpWar in #Iran STILL don't know how to pronounce the word "nuclear".

>> With chaos possible in Iran, who will ensure its highly enriched uranium does not fall into the hands of rogue actors?

#Iran does not have enriched #uranium (in meaningful quantity anyway), and it does not have #atomicbomb either. These are old lies from #Israel and #UnitedStates.

Remember how #ColinPowell lied for #GeorgeWBush to the #UN by fabricating "evidence" of #WMD in #SaddamHussein's #Iraq?
