On 7 April, last Tuesday, US President Donald J. Trump put the moral majority amongst us, including millions of Americans across the ideological spectrum on a psychological roller-coaster, with his two depraved, and criminal tweets on his Truth Social propaganda platform.

The first tweet he sent out one on Easter Sunday, the holiest Christian day of Christ’s resurrection, wherein he “desecrated Christianity”, by resorting to profanity – as his friend Tucker Carlson screamed disapprovingly – and, in the same breath, threw unmistakable insults at Allah (God) that the 1.5 billion faithfuls of Islamic religion.  More ominously in the here and now world, he sent out a second tweet, having unveiled his unmistakably genocidal intent to make “an entire civilization die”.  That is, a 6,000-years-old Persian civilization with its current population of 90 million Iranian people of diverse cultures and ethic backgrounds, including Persian Jews, who choose Iran as their home, rather than relocate to the Jewish Supremacist Israel.

Most everyone, with conscience and empathy, who has been following the excruciatingly painful developments in West Asia where the USA and Israel have been waging the Hitlerite war of aggression since 28 February the possibility either Israel or USA nuking Iran was both real and nerve-wrecking.

For both Trump and Netanyahu are discovering, what some of the world’s leading military strategists with the depths of expertise on Iran (for instance, Alastair Crooke of Conflict Forum, former UN WMD inspector and ex-US Marine Intelligence Scott Ritter) have been saying:  it is simply inconceivable for the “US-Israel tag team”, as John Mearsheimer has labelled the two rogue or pariah states, to defeat Iran through the use of conventional weapons.   And putting ground-troops on the ground, that is, the invasion of a country the size of Western Europe, fortified by its physical geography of rugged mountains, narrow sea lanes, deserts and forests, not to mention 2-decades of meticulous and single-minded self-defence planning, will make no difference at all.

In the face of their joint-mission of brining Iranian leadership – and nation – on their knees, un-accomplished after 40 days and un-achievable in any foreseeable future, the nuclear sabre-rattling was getting louder, and Trump’s second tweet on 7 April, his deadline for Iran’s surrender put the concerned world on the cliff’s edge.   Like many I knew I was beginning to feel very jittery and start to lose sleep over the scenario of millions of fellow humans -called Iranians – being vaporised in a fraction of the first minute of the nuclear detonation.

It was almost 40 years ago that I first heard........
