On today’s program we look closely at the claims by the Trump/Rubio/Hegseth axis that they are bringing democracy to Iran even as they push to continue a carpet bombing campaign now entering its third week. Then we address the recent Summit of the Americas that saw 12 nations in the region in what is being called a “selective partnership” with Trump taking center stage. Not invited and noticeably absent to Trump’s summit and photo op were the leaders of three of Latin America’s largest economies, Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Finally, we discuss war crimes, what defines them and why are the US and Israel accused of committing them in first Palestine and now Iran?
