He said that he was told there would be 150 deaths which he said was not proportional to the loss of the $180 million U.S. Navy spy drone.
The US White House confirmed that he overruled “unanimous” advisors including Mr. Mike Pompeo and Mr. John Bolton when he called off strikes on Iran at the last minute. Whether the machines of war were already airborne or not is only of academic interest.
For the first time in recent American history has the American President shown true spine and courage, humanism and leadership in a world otherwise dictated by the mantra of reaction first, rationalizing later.
One could be pardoned for imagining that this American President is not the current President but rather the immediate predecessor, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
And yet the world refuses to recognize this immense act of leadership on the part of an American President that everyone simply refuses to study and acknowledge. Juxtapose the predecessor Nobel Peace Prize winner who was single handedly responsible for the death of more innocent men, women and children killed by joystick wielders in dark video game parlors in the middle of America with little to no analysis of the human tool and no arithmetic of the value of even human life, leave alone hundreds and thousands killed with every trigger of a joystick; to the actions of the current occupant of the most powerful residence in this world and yet the world’s left leaning media refuses to acknowledge this sincere act of leadership that for the first time, no matter how flawed, establishes the need for a necessary calculus before human lives are swatted away …
Will the Democrats applaud the current President or will be politics as usual? Will the Nobel Peace Prize Committee set the same standards for the current incumbent as their rushed to decision with what had to be a very low standard for the immediate predecessor to be lauded as Nobel Peace Laureate?
Bigotry cuts both ways….
