There are almost no words to adequately convey the horror being unleashed by a mad king who wants to be the one king to rule them all. The menace in our midst is President Donald Trump, the Nobel Prize winner wannabe whose words of faith and rebirth to mark the holy day of Easter were, “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

And if that wasn’t clear enough, he told ABC News’ Rachel Scott that if no deal is made, “we’re blowing up the whole country.” Scott asked if there’s anything off limits. “Very little,” he said.

“Very little.” Let that sink in. The same mad king who on April 1, promised in a prime time address to the nation to bring Iran “back to the stone ages where they belong.”

Who, along with his partner in crime, Benjamin Netanyahu, this week bombed the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran for the fourth time. This attack led Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi to warn “radioactive fallout will end life in GCC capitals, not Tehran.”

The plant is located on the gulf coast of Iran directly facing the Gulf Cooperation Council GCC countries—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and the UAE. Bombing the plant could result in high level releases of radioactivity that could, by prevailing wind and ocean currents spread to “contaminate food, soil or drinking water for decades,” as Al Jazeera explained. Cancerous contamination of the water would be devastating for the Gulf nations that depend on desalination as the vast majority of their of drinking water.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization added his alarm, echoing the "deep concern" expressed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “The latest incident involving the Bushehr nuclear power plant is a stark reminder: a strike could trigger a nuclear accident, with health impacts that would devastate generations,” said Dr. Tedros. Does anyone else remember Chernobyl?

The same deadly duo of Trump and Netanyahu this week also bombarded Iranian petrochemical factories that led to explosions cascading through the city of Mahshahr “in such a way that breathing is impossible!” On Monday morning, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz bragged that had also struck Iran's largest petrochemical facility in Asaluyeh, which together with Mahshahr, "are responsible for approximately 85% of Iran's petrochemical exports" are now "inoperable and are not functioning." London-based journalist Mohammad Ali Shabani noted those attacks, on top of Israeli’s bombing of Iran's largest steel plants, are intended to “complicate reconstruction and foment unrest in the post-war setting… (and) “kill any de-escalation” ahead of Trump’s Tuesday deadline for a negotiated ceasefire.

There’s far more, of course. Trump bombed the largest bridge in Iran, a civilian target, and threatened to destroy all Iranian power plants which could leave much of the nation without power. Last week, more than 100 international law experts from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, the University of California, and elsewhere accused the US and Israeli governments of “violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including........
