ICE, Donald Trump, and their families must pay for all the crimes committed against the poor Latino immigrants who have built the United States. Remember, karma exists! Everything comes back around! The damned ICE killers are the same ones who attacked the US Capitol in 2021 with the intention of staging a coup, under Donald Trump's orders! ICE agents are paid very well for every immigrant they arrest or kill! Donald Trump must pay for these crimes and for all the other crimes he has committed so far! Such as: war crimes; abusing underage girls with his close friend, the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein; hiding Epstein's files; etc.

Market manipulation again...🙄

Netanyahu deserves an Oscar for getting Trump and his America stuck in the Hormuz quagmire while Israel runs away 😂

US zionists and Israel extremists want Israel's total dominance of the Middle East and subsequent smooth accomplishment of the Greater Israel mission. Iran is currently the major hindrance to that sinister end. Certainly, the Ayatollahs of Iran have staked their very existence to countering the Israel threat to the region. All this talk about Iran being the major threat to peace in the region, leading sponsor of terrorism and a dangerous theocratic dictatorship is simply hogwash. They don't care about freedom or democracy for Iranians. They don't give a hoot about the people of Iran who they consider as subhumans.

Trump never learns anything because he believes he already knows everything.

Just wait until the Iranian parliament votes to pull out of NPT. They've talked about it for several weeks now. Well, it's going to happen.

The US and it's commentators are still in denial. The losing side in a war does not get to make any demands. Tell your boss Trump he has no choice but to to sign a surrender document so we can all move on.

USA is the biggest threat to the free world
@
There was an old man called Trump
Who smelled like he just took a dump
Of peace he got bored
So he started a war
And now we all pay at the pump.
@
I guess karma bites in it's own way. Israel and American War monger's
@
You mean 'bomb into submission'.
@
This was never about the Iranian people!

Soooo... She wants other nations to be the adults in the room and save Trump's bacon. The man-baby who is preparing to overthrow Cuba and is openly threatening to annex Canada and Greenland/Denmark. The guy who never faces the consequences of his actions or accepts responsibility or even honours contracts.

Um. No. 🇨🇦

Under international law, deliberately attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. It seems that the America that presided over the Nuremburg trials was a different country - a different race of high minded, ethically astute people, now extinct.

Don't forget this war was started at the instigation of Netanyahu of Israel. He and Trump are a huge threat to world peace.

- "Tolls are illegal but we want to get involved and get a cut of it"
- "Iran is acting illegally setting tolls on a global waterway but we're going to impose 20% to maintain free transition"

Bombing bridges and power stations? No wonder the US is trying to dismantle the International Criminal Court. Disgusting.

This young lady speaks so intelligently on a multitude of topics.

Absolutely no one in the US White House Admin speaks even close to her brilliance.
@
Trump should start his own yo-yo brand!
@
He's not trying to 'bomb them into freedom'. He doesn't care about the people there at all.
