The cost of human suffering all over the world is incalculable. Families EVERYWHERE who can’t afford food and fuel now and later. Thank you for the detailed chronology and the FACTS about this whole tragic and preventable story.

And Conservatives will continue to blame economic woes on our Government in attempt to bolster their rapidly declining polls. Seems like a good strategy - or not!! What an upside down world we find ourselves in. If only we could have predicted this would happen with a 'reality TV show host running a superpower'🙄 (That's sarcasm).

This is a brilliant essay.

In actuality I think they started the Iran War for two reasons:

* To create a diversion. Authoritarian regimes like to do that. While the world focuses on this, they don't focus on things like the consolidation of power, or the EPSTEIN files.

* Religious extremism. It's clear these people are trying to force their version of Christianity worldwide.

Numerous crimes against humanity have been committed.

Time for you to write the definitive book, Wayne! It shall be titled: WHEN TRUTH NO LONGER MEANS A DAMN THING TO PEOPLE.

Excellent, educational commentary. Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you. What amazes and infuriates me just as much - perhaps even more - is how many people voted for him the second time (or even the first) and how many people think he is just wonderful and will vote for him a third time if he can rig it.

This article resonates with the outrage that every person on earth should feel towards that "faithless and stupid" man, Donald Trump and his feckless coterie. Sharing widely. Thanks.

Thank you! We need the facts to resonate more than his fiction.

Learned a lot about the original agreement. 🙏. Let alone lives lost, the damage is permanent and irreparable. Even when T goes, the oligarchs could well import another mascot.

This is an important and necessary article for anyone who believes any of the repercussions of Trump’s actions resulting from his hate for Obama are over. No one has dodged a bullet and, as you mentioned, The Hague seems like an appropriate place for a final hearing.

Thanks Wayne. A tough but important read. I feel your rage and share it - not only because of the actions of the moron-in-chief but the sycophants and cowards who have enabled and supported his insanity. Thanks for this.

I have been critical of your work in the past but I think this is a very good essay. Bravo!

I appreciate both! Thank you!
