How the words that Iran and America use about each other paved the way for conflict

The conflict between the US – and its partner Israel – and Iran was nearly half a century in the making.

Trump’s war language is aggressive and extreme. It also offers some insight into his thinking

US President Donald Trump speaks in a way unlike any of his predecessors. His distinctive and highly recognisable style may even play a role in his appeal to his political base. Since the infamous Access Hollywood tapes, he has got away with saying things none of his predecessors would have…

Why would Trump launch a foreign war when he is so domestically weak? Precisely because he is weak

'Donald Trump anointed by Jesus to fight Iran': How US–Israel War got a Biblical spin

Unfortunately for us, since time immemorial, before rulers had to rub our grubby hands for votes, they often claimed God spoke to them — and they had armies, so no one could call them psychotic.
