When 2020 started, Donald Trump briefly flirted with the idea of World War 3 and we were almost sure we were going to get one. However, Coronavirus came in time and saved the world from the war which might have ended the civilization as we know it.
Coronavirus has still caused a lot of damage but it surely delayed the war, but it wasn’t for too long since the flames of the third world war have been rekindled again.
“US army is weak and won’t be able to fight back”
Responding to the US aggression and imperialism in the middle-east region, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have said that they are capable of burning all the US military bases in this area at once.
In an interview given to the Iranian State TV, General Hossein Salami, the commander of IRGC said that US army has infiltrated and invaded the gulf region while occupying space that it doesn’t have a right to. He also said that the “US army is exhausted and doesn’t have the power” to fight back and engage in a ground war.
US hypocrisy is limitless
This response came after the US has reinforced the nuclear sanctions imposed on Iran by the United Nations. What is most hypocritical in this action by the US is that the US mistrusts every other country to handle nuclear power – while they are the only country in the world to actually use a nuclear bomb, that also to kill innocent people of Japan in 1945.
It’s also ironic how the USA wants to “never forget” the 9/11 incident where 3000 people died, but seems to forget the two nuclear bombs they dropped on Japan and killed millions of people.
US military shot down an Iranian passenger plane
Salami has said that Iran will fight for its rights and will stand up against imperialism and neo-colonialism of the US capitalism:
“We will go ahead and take our actions if our rights are not fulfilled within the nuclear deal. We’re not afraid of bluffs, threats and intimidations.”
Relations between US and Iran have been soured since forever – starting from 1988 when the US military shot down an Iranian passenger plane and killed everyone on board, and then didn’t even apologize, and offered a measly sum as compensation.
Recently, US army also killed the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani without any provocation.
Donald Trump is turning out to be as much of a war-monger as Hillary
Also, Donald Trump, who was lauded by the right-wingers of the US for not being a war-monger like Hillary Clinton – has often threatened Iran that he will retaliate “1000 times harder” if Iran responds in any way to the American aggression, invasion, and occupation of the Iranian soil.
