Trump Created A Global Crisis And Doesn’t Care
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
While citizens of the United States fret about having to pay more at the pump for gasoline, President Donald Trump's illegal war on Iran is having massive consequences in many other parts of the world. The decision of this one man to abandon ongoing talks that were said to be making progress to use the military for an all-out attack instead - that is leading to tens of millions of people to be thrown into starvation who otherwise would not have been. While we care about how US people are feeling, since they are the ones who will soon be voting, it's important we don't lose sight of how this is playing out elsewhere, and particularly with the people it is hitting the hardest. Let's discuss.
