“Trump blustered on for 28 minutes last night, lying and bragging as usual. Hidden within that speech were hints of his war aims, a denial that the aims had failed (which they did) and further hints of his plans. Some listeners may dismiss those hints as being just Trump’s usual bluster , such as when he said he would bomb Iran “back to the stone ages” (sic). More ominous, though, is the fact that the Wall St. Journal did not attempt to clarify the war aims or plans….
"Workers in the U.S. should beware: Galston referred vaguely to the possibility of Trump doing “something even worse.” Galston doesn’t try to define what “something even worse” is, but let’s be clear: It means the US and Israel doing to Iran what Israel did to Gaza. In fact, even the use of a nuclear bomb cannot be ruled out! That is the barbarism of which Trump and Netanyahu are capable. "Trump is not alone in his inability to see beyond the tip of his nose. For 80 years now, every force of US society has encouraged the same thinking. Every force has encouraged the narrow “think only of yourself” approach. That includes the leadership of the US working class – the union leadership. So, of course it has had an effect. But now, workers must ask themselves whether the barbaric cruelty that Trump has unleashed on the people of Iran will stop there? We have already seen hints of his capacity in his ICE raids. Just as foreign policy is the expression of domestic policy, so the reverse is true: The barbarity Trump is planning for Iran are a further warning on what he plans to unleash on the US working class in the future. That is the lesson of Minneapolis… and the lesson of Tehran.” https://oaklandsocialist.com/2026/04/02/what-trump-said-is-ominous-silence-of-wsjs-editors-even-more-so/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
