LIGHTNIN’ HOPKINS – WAR NEWS BLUES
The last eight American presidents (Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Reagan) delivered America into 58 simultaneous and expanding wars.
Today, the Trump administration is exporting 58 unprovoked and avoidable corporate-American wars (economic and military aggression ranging from sanctions to contractors, mercenaries, troops and bombs) in Afghanistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Comoros, Cuba, Darfur, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Gaza, Gulf of Guinea, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Panama, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, the West Bank, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
None of these nations attacked the United States.
58 plus unnecessary and illegal wars for extraction, exploitation and extortion are not featured on the front pages of mainstream media, but the attacks, invasions, bombs, deaths and destruction continue.

Human beings in 58 nations are dying because of corporate-American aggression. At least ten of these nations have seen American bombs destroy their homes, families & livelihoods. Others have been impacted by mercenary troops, hired contractors, political and military attacks, murders, economic espionage and other provocations by the CIA and the Pentagon…. to extract resources, exploit labor or demand extortion.
The Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, Zanny Minton Beddoes, says the Iran war is a “strategic disaster” for President Donald Trump and the USA. She said: “I think this is along the line of Suez for the Brits. A very big geo-strategic misstep where the US has, I think, unambiguously lost from this. And it’s in a weaker position in the Gulf and it’s in a weaker position internationally.”
58 Expanding American Wars!
The Trump administration is exporting terror, munitions and dozens of unprovoked but simultaneous and expanding wars enforcing illegal corporate extraction, exploitation and extortion.
Ms. Minton Beddoes said Trump should be thought of not as a conventional American President with a cabinet and advisors who speak their mind, debate and then come to agreed conclusions but as a King surrounded by courtiers who vie to tell him what he wants to hear.

Ms. Minton Beddoes believes that there is a good chance the war could resume because, at the moment, both sides believe they have the upper hand and they are waiting for the other to give in.

I will stop there. I think this is an interview you should see for yourself. I don’t want to give too much away. Instead, to help you, I will give you the list of main questions asked. Here they are:-

Trump Throws U.S. UNDER THE BUS During China Visit
1) In the leaders that your magazine The Economist has recently written you have called Trump’s war in Iran “ill-judged”, “heedless” and “misguided”. You report that the Chinese consider it “a grave American error”. Few people would disagree with those adjectives. How then do you explain Trump’s determination to launch this war?

2) Today, eight weeks after the war was launched, what has Trump really gained? What are the achievements with which he can pat himself on the back?

3) On the 11th of April this is how your leader began: “Not all wars have a winner. But every war has at least one loser and if – a big if – the ceasefire marks the end of the war in Iran, the biggest loser will be Donald Trump.” Can you explain to an Indian audience what brings you to that conclusion?

4) So far a tenuous ceasefire is just about holding although one could question how long might that be the case. If it’s to lead to peace three key issues need to be resolved. The first is Iran’s nuclear ambitions, its stock of enriched uranium and its determination to maintain the right to enrich. How do you see this being resolved?

5) The second key issue is Iran’s realization that it can exercise enormous control over the Strait of Hormuz. This was not something it had weaponized before the war. Now it certainly has. Do you see Iran easily giving up this weapon, particularly after the leverage it has given in recent weeks?

6) The third key issue is Hezbollah and Lebanon. Even though the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has been extended, Netanyahu has breached it several times. Iran considers this unacceptable. Can there be peace between the US and Iran if there isn’t a credible cessation of hostilities between Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah?

China Just Won The Energy War
7) Let’s focus on the impact this war could have on the key participating countries and their leaders. Would you accept that Trump both underestimated Iran’s resilience and then got carried away by his own rhetoric, using expletives and threatening to obliterate an entire civilization. In March your leader called him “a weaker president”. Is that still your verdict?

8) How much has America’s international standing and its moral authority been damaged by this war, in Europe, in the Gulf and in the eyes of key rivals like China and Russia? On the 11th of April your leader said: “Might alone is not right. Sometimes it fails even to bring victory.” Is that how you see the outcome today?
