During his inauguration last year, Trump told us:
“We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but by the wars we end — and perhaps more importantly, by the wars we never get into. My legacy will be as a peacemaker…”
Today, he bombed Tehran… again.
And now, he’s calling for a regime change, as well as warning that US casualties are coming — but they’ll be worth it.
This is the same Trump who, after we just bombed Iran a few months back, assured the American people we’d “obliterated” their ability to build nuclear weapons, get this, “for the next 20 years.”
Plot twist: Iran’s nuclear program grew back quicker than Trump’s right ear.
Have you seen the viral video of Bibi Netanyahu going around?
It’s HERE.
And it’s a loop of him repeating the same lie, 30 years and counting.
Declaring that Iran is “months, days, or weeks” away from having nukes.
And once they have them, “the world will no longer be a safe place.”
Ironically, it’s eerily similar to the video of Netanyahu HERE, saying the exact same thing about Saddam’s Iraq back in 2002 — just months before the US invaded and overthrew Baghdad.
Trump’s 8-minute overnight rant (HERE) declaring war on Iran is filled with vitriol and lies. Doing his damndest to seduce his base into believing that this new war in the Middle East is justified for America.
It’s not.
We have nothing to gain by sticking our nose back in the Middle East.
But… it doesn’t fucking matter.
Because Trump’s naive, brainwashed base will believe anything the man says — even when it’s easier than ever to fact check his lies.
This is Netanyahu once again pulling Trump’s strings.
How or why Israel has so much power and influence over America is mind-bending to me.
Is it rooted in religion?
Oil?
Or is it blackmail for what’s inside those Epstein files?
We may never know.
But what I do know is this: there are already confirmed reports of a school being blown up in Tehran.
50 innocent students have just been killed, and 60 more injured.
Kids.
Unprovoked.
Unjustified.
Unfair.
It literally makes me sick to my stomach.
Look, the last thing I want is for With Gusto to be political, but this isn’t about politics…
This is about humanity.
And if you can’t see that… you and I don’t have a difference in politics — we have a difference in ethics and morals.
I just returned from a place very similar to Iran.
One where thousands and thousands of innocent men, women, and children were killed under false pretense.
I shook hands and broken bread with Iraqis — who, for all practical purposes, should’ve had zero interest in this American walking anywhere near their soil.
Yet they welcomed me with nothing but warm hearts and open arms.
I’ll never forget the gut-punch I experienced when an Iraqi friend of mine translated what a local on the street had come running up to say about me:
That I was the first American he’d ever seen not wearing a uniform or carrying a machine gun.
I’ve chosen to be a citizen of this world, and that’s something I don’t take lightly.
So when another unprovoked, American war pops off, it has a direct impact on me, my head, and my heart.
Today, America was lured into yet another unjustified conflict in the Middle East.
But for me, what I see more than the headlines are the faces of the Iraqis I met…
The ones still trying to rebuild — 20 years later — from a US-led war that was based on Netanyahu’s fabricated “weapons of mass destruction.”
And while I haven’t yet made it to Iran, I know they are a country of 90 million.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers.
The vast majority of whom want nothing but to live a normal life.
Yet today, they’re being warned by Trump to stay locked in their homes.
Because the leader of their adversary, Bibi Netanyahu, has once again convinced America to do his dirty work.
I hate to break it to you MAGA, but your President of Peace has been compromised.
Yes, what you were sold was no more wars and America First.
But the reality is war and Isreal, more first.
To anyone reading this who still might believe the blatant lies you’re being told…
With all due respect — you’re either not paying attention, or you’re playing willfully ignorant.
With dis-Gusto,
Adrian
