A supposedly bad guy ran into a building in Yemen, so the U.S. government blew up the building. If Donald Trump’s own family had been residing in that building, would he still have given orders to blow it up in order to keep shipping lanes open?
If a criminal runs into a building in the United States, it is not protocol to blow up the building. Even if it is a really dangerous criminal, it doesn’t make much sense. You have to kill people in order to save people?
What Trump and his team are doing in Yemen is highly immoral. It would rightly be condemned here in the United States if the police were to blow up a building because a criminal was in there. They would probably be charged with murder.
Yet, when it happens in Yemen, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of concern. After all, we can just say that they are all a bunch of terrorists or they are harboring terrorists. If there was a little child in there, well, that’s their fault. Or it’s collateral damage. We have heard all of the justifications for murder.
Elon Musk Thinks About the Families in Ukraine
Elon Musk talked about being compassionate for the people involved in the conflict in Ukraine.
He said:
“I take great offense at those who put the appearance of goodness over the reality of it. Those who virtue signal and say we can’t give in to Russia, but have no solution to stopping thousands of kids dying every day…. I have contempt for such people and I want to make that clear. Because they’re virtue signaling and their lack of a solution means that kids don’t have a father. It means that parents lost a son. For what? Nothing.”
Everything Musk said there is true. He is actually taking a moral stand for peace by saying this.
We can wonder if Musk feels the same way about kids in Gaza or Iran. We can wonder if he feels the same way about kids in Yemen who are now being bombed by Trump – the guy who said he wanted to bring peace.
If Musk truly believes what he is saying here, then something has to give. Either Trump has to scale back on his war making or Musk has to speak out against it, whether in public or private. If he goes to Trump privately and shares his concern of Trump killing innocent people, then Trump will face a choice.
Even if Musk stays in his lane with DOGE, starting wars with other countries isn’t compatible with cutting spending.
If there is a fallout between these two personalities, then watch out. The danger is that Trump gets rid of Musk and steps up his status as war criminal and chaos maker.
Trump Influencers
What happened to the people who surrounded Trump in the leadup to the election? There seemed to be people generally in favor of more peace rallying around Trump. They included Robert Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Donald Trump Jr., J.D. Vance, Tucker Carlson, Nicole Shanahan, and even Joe Rogan.
Tulsi and RFK have, unfortunately, seemed to somewhat cheer on the warmongering. Vance opposed the bombing in Yemen, but he didn’t exactly strongly oppose it either. We have no idea if Don Jr. is saying anything to his father. Nicole Shanahan has not exactly been speaking out against war, but even she admitted that she was a little concerned with one of Kennedy’s comments. She is continuing to focus on her main issue of health.
Tucker Carlson continues to be heroic, but he also hasn’t taken any direct hits at Trump yet. I don’t blame him for this because he realizes that he could quickly lose his influence with many people if there is a falling out there. Still, at some point, I think Tucker will have his line in the sand. If Trump goes into an all-out war with Iran, I don’t think Tucker is staying quiet.
How is it that Trump learned almost nothing from his first term? Maybe he is just a big phony and really wants war. He just knows how to deliver the lie.
It really is hard to say, but Trump has quickly turned into another war president. His intentions almost don’t even matter at this point. He has blood on his hands. He is killing innocent people, including children, in Yemen. It doesn’t matter if he is being misled by his war hawk advisors. Why did he put them there as advisors?
Trump’s presidency has gone up in flames in the matter of weeks. Some of his supporters will just go along with whatever he says. It is like post 9/11 all over again. If the government says we have to keep you safe from terrorists, then just let them do whatever they need to do.
The only hope is that there are enough Trump supporters or former Trump supporters who speak out against these insane and immoral policies. He must be called out by credible people for his war making and his immoral acts.
