The U.S. does not a viable anti-war movement and with all the self-righteousness of groups calling for "no war in Iran" Nancy Pelosi dresses up to mock Arabs and Muslims and Bernie Sanders opposition to the murder as "an assassination that violates international law" is followed by the most racist and hawkish slander of every other government in the world—creating a de-facto support for or at least justification of Trump's act of murder.
Today we will examine this in great detail and again ask the supporters of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren to engage this catastrophe with a sense of introspection and activism inside those campaigns.
