Donald Trump, the con man who pretends to be a “deal maker” but couldn’t spell “diplomacy” if you spotted him the “d” just dragged the United States into another war in the Middle East. Seem’s for all his “man of peace” bullsh*t, it wasn’t enough to just cause non stop chaos in America—his level of malignant narcissism requires him to destabilize the entire planet. Trump, doing Netanyahu’s bidding like the incurious oaf he is, ordered U.S. forces to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in what he’s calling a “spectacular military success”.
The only thing spectacular here is the speed with which Trump has guaranteed Iran—and every other “rogue” regime—will sprint towards obtaining nuclear weapons.
Let’s not pretend there was any imminent threat. While Trump’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is a horrible Putin Puppet, she did originally tell the Senate Intelligence Committee in March that there was no credible intelligence showing Iran was building nuclear weapons. After receiving push back from the serial bankrupt con man who is still lying that the 2020 election was “rigged” against him, Tulsi changed her mind and joined the chorus of liars, changing her public assertions from “never” to “weeks”.
Though the MAGAt cult seems split, they will all soon fall in line to celebrate their draft-dodging god-king’s “decisive” action. But history—and reality—show us exactly how this will all play out.
Bombing Doesn’t Stop Nuclear Proliferation—It Accelerates It
If you want to guarantee a regime gets nuclear weapons, bomb them. That’s not an opinion—it’s just human nature. For example, after Israel bombed Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981, Saddam Hussein quadrupled his nuclear budget took it underground, hell-bent on getting the bomb as a matter of survival. Experts - including the “father” of Iraq’s nuclear program - agree that only thing that stopped him was his decision to invade Kuwait.
When a country’s nuclear program is attacked, the lesson learned isn’t “we must surrender,” but that the only true deterrent is to quickly obtain a nuclear weapon of your own. This is exactly what we see playing out in North Korea.
Now, thanks to Trump’s pathological need to look like a tough guy, not the whiny-little fragile unfit, over-his-head, cowardly manbaby he knows he is, Iran’s hardliners have been handed the perfect justification to go full speed ahead with their nuclear goals.
Despite Trump’s usual con man bluster, the so-called “success” of these strikes is already being questioned. The Arms Control Association and other experts warn that bombing Iran’s facilities will increase their determination to build a bomb, rather than to stop it. Iran’s atomic agency says the attacks won’t stop their nuclear program. If anything, like what happened in Iraq, the Iranian regime now has their incentive to go underground, accelerate their efforts to make sure they’re never this vulnerable again.
Trump Also Shredded the NPT
The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) was one international agreement that was actually keeping a lid on the world’s nuclear ambitions by requiring non-nuclear states like Iran to submit to inspections and verification. It’s not a stretch to posit that the most illiterate disgrace to human DNA ever stain the Oval Office probably knows next-to-nothing about this international treaty whose goal is to promote peaceful nuclear energy while working towards nuclear disarmament.
While Trump hasn’t formally withdrawn us from the treaty, his reckless bombing just shredded what little credibility remained. America’s first convicted felon president has also given Iran a very plausible excuse to withdraw from the NPT, citing threats to its “supreme interests,” as the treaty itself allows. Already on life support, the NPT is gasping its last breaths thanks to the great “deal-maker” Trump.
If Iran walks away, international inspectors will lose all access and the world will lose all visibility into Iran’s nuclear activities. Good going, “Art of the Deal” Donny! Your “boom booms” have blown up all diplomatic avenues, leaving us with only one route - war.
Netanyahu Manipulated the Easily-Manipulatable Trump
For years, Netanyahu has been on a campaign to drag the U.S. into his war with Iran. He’s spent weeks on American TV, fear mongering that “today it’s Tel Aviv, tomorrow it’s New York”. Trump, ever desperate for approval from strongmen, obliged. “America First” now means “America is manipulated by Netanyahu’s fever dreams.”
And, as always, Trump carrying out his “boom boom” like a dictator—with no Congressional authorization or briefing of Democratic leadership. Forget the system the founders fought a revolution to create and entrust to us, we now have a king on his throne, playing with taxpayer money as if Congress doesn’t hold the pursestrings, and playing with American lives like we’re all his powerless serfs. The Founders put war powers in Congress for a reason. But the “America First” crowd is always the first to cheer when their wannabe king acts above the law. They love the “strength” watching a tax-cheating, draft-dodging wannabe-dictator wipe his ass with the Constitution. As usual, they’re as confused by what this “America thingie” is supposed to be all about as they are unfit to muster the manners, maturity and decency to function in a free, democratic society.
Back on the “Forever War” Path
Trump just opened up another Pandora’s box of risks and unknowns. But, don’t worry. He, himself will never have to pay any price. Tehran could retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz, attacking U.S. bases, escalating missile strikes on Israel, or activating proxy groups. Any of these scenarios could drag the U.S. into a prolonged, unpredictable conflict, making Americans unsafe at home and abroad. Here goes another forever war, brought to you by the same people who promised to end them.
So, MAGAts, if you’re so thrilled about your god/king’s “boom-boom,” I hope you’re first in line at the recruitment center. The age limit is 42 now—plenty of time for you to sign up for “suckers and losers” duty.
“Deal Makin’” Trump Ends Diplomacy
Let’s not forget that Netanyahu has been “the boy who cried bomb” going back over 3 decades. In a 1992 speech to the Knesset, he warned that Iran was within three to five years of obtaining nuclear weapons. Who can forget his warmongering speech at the United Nations in 2012 where he showed a cartoon bomb as “proof” to back up his claims.
In 2015, after brokering the JCPOA, the official White House Twitter account used Netanyahu’s infamous illustration to explain how diplomacy was doing more for peace and security than Netanyahu’s thirst for blood ever could. Of course, the Obama administration’s tweet is now deleted.
You see, once upon a time, before the worst President in American history was given the power to inflict his untreated malignancies on humanity, we actually had deal that was keeping Iran’s nuclear ambitions in check.
The JCPOA or “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” was the landmark agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and the U.S., along with several world powers to restrain Iran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief. The deal had Iran’s nuclear program under strict international monitoring—and, by all reports—it was working. Trump tore it up because, like the petulant manbaby tormented by the gnawing knowledge of his manifest unfitness, he couldn’t stand that Obama, a competent president and grown up adult male, made the deal.
Now, after breaking nearly all America’s promises, Trump has ensured no one on Earth—friend or foe—will trust our word again. When he vomits out “now is the time for peace” on his toy social media platform, the world laughs and rolls its eyes—because he’s made peace impossible.
What Happens Next?
Iran’s regime will double down on nationalism and nuclear deterrence. That’s what every regime does after being attacked.
Other “rogue” states are watching and learning: if you don’t have nukes, you’re a target. If you do, you’re safe.
America’s “word” in diplomacy is worth less than Trump University’s diploma.
The Middle East is on the brink of a wider war, with U.S. troops and civilians now bigger targets than ever.
The only thing Trump has ever “built” is chaos. The only thing he’s ever delivered is destruction. Congratulations, MAGAts. You wanted “America First.” What you got is America reviled, isolated, manipulated, and at war—again.
