Hawzah News Agency- The paper's board published the scathing take down on Thursday, writing that "never in our history has a leader made such a ghastly threat as President Trump did," when, over the Easter weekend, he threatened to obliterate Iran's "whole civilization" if its government did not accept U.S. demands and reopen the Strait of Hormuz for oil shipments.
The board noted that Trump "fortunately" backed down at the eleventh hour, citing an increasingly tenuous ceasefire agreement, but it also questioned what the motivating factors behind the decision truly were, and how strong the supposed peace really is.
There are reports that some U.S. commanders were refusing to carry out genocidal orders, and that would be good news, too. But the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and Israel, the U.S. partner in misadventure, was still waging war in Lebanon Wednesday''.
The Sun-Sentinel further argued that Congress must "intervene" against Trump's Iran conflict, calling for a war powers resolution to bar further military action against the Middle Eastern nation, "a serious investigation of his mental fitness" and impeachment proceedings, even if actually impeaching the president would be impossible under the current circumstances.
"The nation and the world have long since become accustomed to Trump’s loutish behavior, coarse vocabulary and disrespect for the dignity of his office and America’s reputation," the board continued. "But his increasingly erratic conduct of late commands the attention of Congress, because it bears unmistakable signs of worsening mental decay in someone who can singlehandedly order the use of nuclear weapons. A telling symptoms of dementia is a loss of inhibition. Until now, presidents appreciated the power of their words, and whatever their private thoughts, none ever spoke so venomously as Trump at war''.
