"Does anyone think that the United States will be capable of acting with the independence that could preserve it from the inevitable disaster awaiting it?"

Does anyone believe Democrats or Republicans differ, especially on relentlessly advancing America's imperium for unchallenged global dominance, and choosing war to achieve it.

"It is really extraordinary to observe a nation so powerful technologically and a government so bereft of both ideas and moral values."

Iran threatens no one. Washington and Israel know its nuclear program is peaceful. It complies fully with Nuclear Non-Proliferation (NPT) provisions. Even having nuclear or any other destructive weapons doesn't imply intent to use them.

In contrast, America is nuclear armed and dangerous. So is Israel. Advancing its own imperium, it "declared its intention to attack and destroy Iran's nuclear fuel production facilities."

"The Israeli government has openly declared its intention to attack the enriched uranium production plant in Iran, and the government of the United States has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in manufacturing a bomb for that purpose."

"Imagine United States (and/or Israeli) forces dropping monstrous bombs, capable of penetrating 60 meters of cement, on industrial facilities. Never before has such an adventure been conceived."

It's vital to understand "the seriousness" of doing it, he said. Humanity "will be led inexorably toward disaster." If simple truths aren't understood, survival's impossible.

If Mother of all Bombs (MOB) are used like king-sized hand grenades, can human extinction be far behind, or at least face tens of millions of lives lost, multiples more condemned to slow, painful death, and countless others from disease.
