US president Donald Trump, is by consensus, an ignorant but loud-mouthed know it all man. We have this information from his sister and aunt, who attest that he employed hired hands to do his homework at school.
The US-Israeli attack on Persia (Iran) on June 13 and again 20 illustrate the often-repeated idiom that those ignorant of history will fall into traps that destroyed their forefathers.
Trump is following a trajectory that dates back to BC 53, June 6. On that date, the arrogant Roman general, Marcus Lucinius Crassus was soundly defeated by a Persian army.
Please reader, notice the three similarities with the US-Israeli attack on Persia. There was no plausible cassus beli (reason for war). Persian Emperor Oredos II sent a messenger to Crassus to ask a blunt question.
“You have come a thousand miles to bother my people. What is your cassus beli?”
No answer.
Crassus had been informed about the valorous spirit of the Persian warriors and weapons, especially their cross bow “whose speed could barely be followed by the eye and whose power to penetrate their shields was unprecedented.”
Lastly, a 30 000 Roman army, faced a force three times its strength in the belief that “superior Raman discipline and armor” was sufficient.

Please reader, do not laugh. The arrogant US-Israelis dropped their bombs into the Persian mountains, ignoring the possible retaliation by an Iranian force well supplied with missiles.
The US-Israeli iron dome, on which the US-Israelis depended had never been tested beyond skirmishes with stone-throwing children in Gaza and sling throwing shepherds in Lebanon.
The arrogant US-Israelis demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” of their country to them. The imperialists ignored well founded reports that Persian (Iranian) warriors, were raised in the belief that martyrdom was the greatest good.
Manufactured truths
US-Israeli attempts to manufacture a cassus beli have completely failed. The accusation that Iran’s ability to make a nuclear weapon was “possibly days away” (Prime Minister B. Netanyahu) was pure fiction.
Netanyahu has been singing this song since 1996. The paper is called “Clean Break.” He repeated the song in 2003, calibrating it to suit Iraq, and in 2012 and now in June 2025.
That Jewish brother manufactures truths like a spiderweb.
One aspect that has not been sufficiently exposed is the complete failure of Israel genocide in Gaza to accomplish the aim of ridding itself of Hamas resistance. With all their superior technological and image pressers, Israel has failed to locate the remaining hostages taken by Hamas.
Technological superiority does not guarantee success over a superior spiritual defiance by an oppressed people.
The Vietnam and Afghan lessons have passed them by.
The modern enemy of oppression in today’s world is social media. After October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, American opinion was sympathetic to Israel. Since the national print and television media was captured, it took but a little time for Americans, through social media to see the daily murders committed against Arab women and children.
A six-year-old boy was riding his bike when shot through the head by an Israeli sniper. A father carried the remains of his son, who body was blown away while they were asleep.
The murder of 60 000 Arabs, mostly women and children are no laughing matter.
The atrocities go on a daily basis even as we speak.
Trump’s supporters are told daily not to believe their lying eyes. A whole bunch of them, beginning with Trump strategist, Steve Banon, influencers Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens, are opposed to these forever wars and atrocities.
They judge rightly that they are committed on behalf of Israel.
Trump is now in a desperate situation to explain these failures.
Brothers laugh at Trump.
It never rains for him. It pours. Our brothers, who never liked Trump to begin with are laughing in their barber shops. A “top secret” report was leaked to Cable News Network and is all over the papers.
The report, according to the brothers, says that Trump “bombed a bunch of mountains and stones” with no effect on anything.
One brother told me: “Trump is a Cookie!”
This report was leaked while Trump was in Europe trying to persuade NATO allies about his manufactured victory over Iran.
It caused maximum embarrassment.
Photographs of Iranians removing equipment, a day before US bombing are all over the internet.
The Israeli lobby has suffered another defeat in New York. Having supported billionaire candidate, former Governor Andrew Cuomo (67) against Muslim candidate Zohnran Mamdami (33), newsmen were planted to ask a trap question.
“What is the first country you will visit when elected mayor?” They asked.
Former mayor Brother Eric Adams fell out of favour when he visited Turkey, a Muslim country.
The defeat of an Israeli supported candidate in New York is stunning.
It is a warning that loss of sympathy for Israel and its supporters has been accelerated by social media images of the slaughter of innocent Arabs and its bullying tactics in the Middle East.
Trump has been caught in the cross-hairs and is now looking very foolish.
The hidden agenda is the same as that which drove Crassus-the desire to capture Iran’s oil wealth and control the new Silk Road that is being built even as we speak.
The Silk Road Railroad from Peking to Teheran can now be made in 17 hours non-stop compared to one month by sea vias Indian ocean.
Wherever there is wealth, the western hegemonists want to be in charge.
