Trump Rewards Russia as They Target American Troops for Iran
from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese
The President stood aboard Air Force One hours after watching flag-draped caskets carrying American service members return to Dover Air Force Base, and called the war "a minor excursion." He read off military statistics like a scorecard, accepted death as inevitable, and never once mentioned protecting American lives or bringing troops home safely.When asked about the bombing of a girls' elementary school in southern Iran that killed 175 people, Trump blamed Iran. But The Washington Post, The New York Times, CBC, NPR, the Associated Press, and Human Rights Watch all point to evidence that it was an American airstrike. Al Jazeera found a strike pattern that strongly indicates the school was hit by a direct, separate strike.On the same day, reporting confirmed that Russia has been providing Iran with targeting intelligence to strike American forces, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft. The Trump administration responded by lifting sanctions on Russian oil, allowing Russia to profit while helping our enemies target our troops. And when asked about it, Trump snapped at the reporter and refused to answer.Earlier at his golf club in Miami, Trump told Latin American leaders he had spent his years out of office planning his "big comeback," asked Secretary of State Rubio whether there was a legal way to sell his political endorsement to foreign leaders, and offered missiles the way you would offer someone a drink.The Breakdown:Trump called the war "a minor excursion" hours after receiving flag-draped caskets at Dover Air Force BaseHe blamed Iran for a girls' school bombing that multiple investigations attribute to a U.S. airstrikeRussia has been providing Iran with targeting intelligence against American forces since the war beganThe administration lifted sanctions on Russian oil the same day that intelligence became publicTrump told Latin American leaders he spent four years planning his political comebackHe asked Marco Rubio on stage whether he could legally sell his endorsement to foreign leadersHe offered U.S. military strikes to Latin American leaders casually at his private golf clubTrump claimed to have ended 8 wars while the war he started one week ago continues to rageThe historical pattern of authoritarians launching wars to consolidate power during domestic decline is unmistakableVirginia passed the first law requiring schools to teach January 6th as a violent attack on democratic institutionsWelcome to my brand new YouTube channel!
