This outrageous demand and threat was followed last Friday with a different Trump declaration giving Iran two weeks to negotiate with him–which by all accounts means doing what Trump orders–or Trump is bringing Americans into Israel's war with Iran, a war that neither side has declared.  Then on Saturday night Trump launched a US surprise attack on Iran.

Wars are everywhere, but no government acknowledges the fact by declaring war. Putin doesn't even consider the West's attack on Russia's strategic forces an act of war. When we find leaders fleeing Reality, we should understand that we are in trouble.

Why does Trump need another war when he is already in one in Ukraine and seems determined to pick a fight with China?  Here is Trump's ridiculous excuse as provided by his spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt:

"Let's be very clear: Iran has all that it needs to achieve a nuclear weapon. All they need is a decision from the supreme leader to do that, and it would take a couple of weeks to complete the production of that weapon, which would of course, pose an existential threat not just to Israel, but to the United States, and to the entire world."
