Barack Obama 44th U.S. President and Donald Trump 45th and 47th U.S. President

On February 28, when President Donald John Trump and his “Bad-Ass” Buddy and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu launched their epically failed apocalyptic blitzkrieg against the Government and the People of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a patently unprovoked assault that may have already qualified Mr. Trump for an indictment as a war Crimes Criminal Suspect at The Hague, there was absolutely no signal or indication communicated via either the general US Media or the Global Media, for that matter, that the Trump-occupied MAGA “Rapepublican” White House had placed any politically and/or diplomatically constructive or progressive deal on the “Jowling” table that the “mad” Ayatollahs of Tehran had roundly and adamantly rejected, as President Trump appears to be characteristically erratically suggesting presently (See “Trump Rejects Latest Iran Offer for Talks, Extending Limbo in Mideast War” New York Times 5/10/26).

To be certain, whatever could be genuinely and/or significantly passed off in the name of an “offer” from either the United States or Iran or both hardnosed Superpower Bully and a Steely-Determined Islamic Revolutionary Regime that would not be Darwinistically Cowed into Nuke-Shy Submission was shockingly and scandalously and, some critics and some studious observers and some political pundits would add, cavalierly and dastardly and genocidally wiped off the International Diplomacy Landscape, when the entire topmost leadership of the Iranian Government, including the 86-year-old Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, was literally consigned into oblivion.

So, it is sheer wonder that the burly half-German and half-Scottish Second-Generation American-Born Mr. Trump, on his mother’s side of the family, should be huffing and puffing over the flat and the adamant refusal by the New Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, to lily-liveredly or cowardly accept the ambush-assassination of his father and the entire Senior Cabinet of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Council (IRGC) and the surrendering of the country’s hard-won and organically evolved Nuclear-Resource Capability and Capacity as a Birthday Present to an International Criminal Court (ICC)-indicted Prime Minister Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu, as well as, of course, a pathologically narcissistic President Donald John Trump himself.

No such “Kawukudi” or highway robbery at gunpoint, in Hausa/West African parlance, could be more righteously deemed to be at once unspeakably heretical and insufferably blasphemous. It was almost as if both the Iranian leadership and its people and citizenry were being luridly and despicably coerced into docilely accepting the terms of a Neo-Nazi-Like New World Order in which the right to dictate the Existential Raison D’etre for the rest of Global Humanity was the inalienable judgment call of Messrs. Donald John Trump and Benjamin “Mileikowsky” Netanyahu. And it is precisely for the foregoing reason why one itches with glee and uncontrollable desire to hear precisely what case is likely to be made before the United Nations’ Security Council by US Ambassador Michael “Mike” Waltz (the Green Beret Colonel of the United States’ Army) before the United Nations’ Security Council against the inalienable sovereign right of the Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iran to develop the Nuclear Bomb, for the sole and the express purpose of staunchly and formidably defending itself against the sort of unprovoked State-Orchestrated Act of Terrorism savagely unleashed over the Territorial Airspace of Iran and its geographical landscape.

It is unarguably and incontrovertibly clear that if any nation on Planet-Earth reserves the sovereign right to be fully and effectively armed to the hilt, as it were, with the Almighty Nuke, for the forensically unimpeachable purpose of sacred self-defense, that nation should and/or ought not to be any other than the Islamic Revolutionary Republic of Iran. And by the way, concomitant with the downright barbaric and the totally unprovoked assault on Iran is the imperative need for all nations facing a similar specter of the Trump-sworn complete annihilation of the kind threatened by the unabashedly Neo-Nazi and implacably Neo-Fascist Real-Estate Developer Turned Political Con-Artist to be seriously and unreservedly encouraged to arm themselves with any militarily worthwhile or strategically formidable Weapons of Mass Destruction. Absolutely no country or nation of humans on Planet-Earth has a greater inalienable right to a peaceful and an impregnable right to self-defensive capability than its neighbor.

We need to also emphatically and unabashedly underscore the fact that his first choice of “resolving” the so-called Iranian Nuclear Crisis was the patently irrational and the downright reckless resort to genocidal military confrontation of the kind that witnessed the morally inexcusable “obliteration” of the entire leadership and panoply suit and suite of the key operatives of the Iranian Government on February 28, 2026, after having characteristically unwisely and fascistically disparaged the strategically constructive mechanism put in place by former President Barack Hussein Obama, the Trumpian predecessor implacably and witheringly reviled by the barely literate and infamously failed Gambling Casino Proprietor.

It also goes without saying that it is for absolutely nothing short of his own fascistic detestation of the Islamic Faith and Religion that Mr. Trump has made a sardonic habit of rabidly and rampantly harping on President Obama’s conspicuously Islamic middle name of “Hussein” as a political-campaign strategy aimed at roiling up Anti-Arab and Anti-Islam sentiments among tge Christian Majority Populace of the United States of America, obviously in crudely coded allusion to the late President Saddam Hussein, the brutally slain Iraqi military strongman, once conveniently backed by both the United States and its White-Supremacist NATO Allies in the Iraqi war with Iran that lasted for some 8 years, in which a conservatively estimated One-Million Iranians and Iraqis lost their lives.

In other words, if the Trumpian and the MAGA-”Rapepublicans” really had any critical sense sense of history and a morally responsible and a conscientious approach and/or attitude to the same, the Trumpian-Bull in the Chinaware Shop would not be so farcically waxing self-righteous over his patently untenable reason for why Iran must be prevented from acquiring or purchasing the Nuclear Bomb at all costs. To be certain, based on the countless litany of instances and circumstances documented and highlighted in this series of articles and columns, including President Dwight David “Ike” Eisenhower’s deliberate destruction of Iranian Democracy in 1953, as clinically and meticulously detailed by Ali Vaez, in one of the popular Ezra Klein Podcast Series recently embedded in the New York Times, both in print and broadcast modes or mediums, Iran clearly appears to be more deserving of owning the Nuclear Bomb than a perennially aggressive and downright piratical Trump and “Rapepublican”-led United States of America.
