Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain and German Defense Minister Boris Ludwig Pistorius

The Endgame of a clearly defeated MAGA-led US Republican Party Government of President Donald John Trump was irrefutably and irredeemably apparent from the very beginning of the grossly and the scandalously misguided and apocalyptically miscalculated aerial bombardments and the relentless strafing of the Iranian airspace and infrastructure, gangster fashion, by the United States of America and the bloodthirsty Zionist Likud Party-led Government of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on February 28, 2026.

This unspeakably savage assault was doomed to fail from the start because the entire Neo-Nazi and Neo-Fascist enterprise egregiously lacked logic and moral rectitude of the kind littered and memorably and captivatingly depicted all through the Judeo-Christian Bible and the Judeo-Islamic Quran. The morally and the patently unconscionable American-Israeli onslaught on the globally revered and celebrated Ancient Persian Empire, presently renamed as the Democratic Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iran, lacked fundamental common sense and justice, if also because Israel and the United States had flagrantly arrogated themselves preternatural powers and privileges that patently verged of blasphemy and ran counter to the United Nations-sanctioned International Law of Civilized Human Morality.

By so doing or acting, President Donald John Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stepped over and above the Civilized Principles of the Peaceful Coexistence of Humanity, the Universal Existential Law of Moral Sobriety, thereby provoking both the VICTIM and the ASSAILANTS to cravenly plunge themselves into the Darwinian Law of the Jungle. In the ensuing process, the grossly belated decision by the Trump Government to initiate a dialogue with the VICTIMIZED, that is. The Iranians, was almost immediately and effectively rendered heretically absurd. It was, to be certain, strikingly akin to the proverbial placement of the metaphorical horse before the cart. Which was, essentially, the main reason given by nearly each and every European Leader and Member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for steering clear of this most deadly and catastrophic cauldron of what was shaping up to become an interminable conflict into which these MAGA Psychopaths and their Sodom and Gomorrha Denizens of the Latter-Day Zion had stepped and, in effect, hubristically stepped into the proverbial Hornet’s Nest.

As of this writing, US Senator Ruben Gallego, a Democrat from the State of Arizona, had had some choice words to describe the patently senseless and inexcusably reckless conduct of President Donald John Trump in ways that this author had not chanced upon until then. In an interview with Ms. Jennifer Rene Psaki - aka Jen Psaki - the former White House Press Secretary in the Biden Administration, Senator Gallego caustically accused Mr. Trump of being incurably afflicted with the cancerous malady of not being capable of appreciating the fundamental leadership asset of “self-sacrifice” (See “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” MS-NOW 3/24/26).

Senator Gallego went on to bitterly lament that the globally infamous blowhard thoroughgoing corrupt billionaire real-estate developer, by his own description, had despicably lowered the moral and the intellectual bar for the President that it was highly unlikely for any future Presidential Candidate who succeeded to occupancy of the White House to be any denser than the man who took the United States to war with Iran at the beck of the International Criminal Court (ICC)-indicted Prime Minister Netanyahu, prior to cavalierly presuming that he could literally string along the European NATO Countries for the ride.

Of course, European leaders like President Emmanuel Macron, of France; Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of Britain; and German Defense Minister Boris Ludwig Pistorius, have all asked both President Trump and the latter’s Secretary of Defense, recently redesignated as Secretary of War, Peter “Pete” Brian Hegseth, the former television program host, to reference and pay studious attention to Articles 4 & 5 of the NATO Charter, both of which enjoin a consultative and a collaborative approach to conflict resolution by the leadership of all member nations to any perceived acts of unwarranted aggression, and not the sort of patently gratuitous provocation or invitation of conflict such as clearly and unarguably fomented by the MAGA Ragtag Republican Regime of President Trump (See “‘This Is Not Our War’: Europe and UK Push Back Against Trump’s Demands” New York Times 3/16/26).

Senator Ruben Gallego is also quick to point out that the mere fact of a military-draft dodging pathological and obstreperous bellicose not having offered himself the prized and the patriotic privilege of serving the United States and its interests both at home and abroad, ought not to make this egomaniacal scofflaw. As grossly and seemingly irredeemably incompetent as he has, so far, proven himself to be, as a former infamous casino proprietor, could very well have taken meaningful and instructive lessons from the proverbial “Big-Brained Ape,” in DuBoisian parlance, to wit, the twice consecutively tenured President Barack Hussein Obama.

Senator Gallego also takes exception to what the Arizona native terms as “the selective victimization” and the sadistic and the systematic torturing and the reckless and the rampant murdering of Latinos by US Immigration Officials.
