Trump Threatens Iran, Forgetting Libya, Iraq, and His Own 'Strong' Actions
NPR reports President Trump’s threats of “strong” military action against Iran, echoing a tired playbook for regime change under the guise of supporting 'protesters.' This selective concern for human rights conveniently overlooks documented instances of foreign intelligence agencies — specifically Mossad and the CIA — engaging in acts of sabotage and violence within Iran, often conflated with
legitimate dissent to destabilize the region. It's the same cynical foreign policy blueprint deployed in Libya, Syria, and Iraq, where 'strong' actions predictably led to chaos rather than democracy. One might wonder if the genuine plight of Iranian citizens is the primary concern, or if the consistent push for confrontation aligns perfectly with the geopolitical objectives of certain lobbying
groups and defense contractor profits. The same politicians who decry 'authoritarian regimes' abroad often rubber-stamp domestic surveillance or ignore human rights abuses from preferred allies. How many times must we watch this movie before realizing the ending is always a lucrative contract for Lockheed Martin, never true liberation?
