The orchestra started (look above):
#US President Donald #Trump expressed on Thursday his desire to avoid military strikes on Iran's nuclear program, an approach #Israel has considered for years.

When asked about supporting military action against #Iranian #nuclear facilities, Trump mentioned plans to consult with unspecified "very high-level people" on the matter.

Regarding the Iranian nuclear issue, Trump commented, "That could be worked out without having to worry about it," and added, "It would be really nice if that could be worked out without having to go that further step," referring to military action.

On the possibility of diplomatic engagement with Iran, Trump remarked, "#Iran hopefully will make a deal — and if they don't make a deal, I guess that's OK, too."

During his first term, Trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement and imposed extensive sanctions.

The New York Times reported that Elon Musk met with a senior Iranian official after the election in an effort to ease tensions.

2024 feels like dejavu to many folks who remember the 60s/70s #AntiWar #protests in USA that was a part of the international citizens' #GlobalResistance movements.

Opposition to the #VietnamWar was not limited to the United States. Throughout the world, people demonstrated their #resistance to the war, and in some cases offered their #solidarity with the #Vietnamese.

This carefully researched article by James A. Lucas documents the more than 20 million lives lost resulting from US led wars, military coups and intelligence ops carried out in the wake of WWII, in what is euphemistically called the “post-war era” (1945- ).

The extensive loss of life in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and Libya is not included in this study.

Continuous US led warfare (1945- ): there was no “post-war era“. And now, a World War III scenario is contemplated by US-NATO.

I ain't f*cking happy about #whitewashing BS. I'm a #WarSurvivor & loathe #USgovt. I loathe all who never learned much from their own freaking violent, foreign interfering, #ProxyWars bringing, war profiteering, guns at ready to shoot innocent citizens & y'all try to tell the world you have a freaking #DEMOCRACY?

We ain't all #brainwashed #Yankees. We're fucking #PISSEDOFF AT USA & ALL THEIR FUCKING ENABLERS RIGHT NOW! We ain't buying the US BS. F*cking #accomplices to #GENOCIDE

@seankearney
Quite right. Home to roost.

Having said that, they seem to trade in equally bad #proxyWars. China have surplus men from #oneChildPolicy, and west seem willing to off #Trump/#Brexit-type voters, and #SouthAmerica has stuff.

Re #homeToRoost, we were talking to a young adult recently about #Israel genocide and #landGrab from #Palestinians. They said, beating chest, "I don't watch the news, I do my own thing," Something to that effect.

All we said was, these things come full circle.
