Maz, US Special Ops Chief and Congressman Share Same Opinion About Trump's Drumbeat of War Against Iran
Entertainment and Politics Blog, Kodoom.com Editorial:
Popular Iranian American comedian and satirist, Maz Jobrani, recently shared his views and concerns about Trump's Drumbeat of War Against Iran on CNN International:
But Maz is not alone in his alarmist views about the escalation of tough rhetoric and build up of forces in the Persian Gulf. Separately, in a recent TV interview, retired Navy Admiral and former U.S. special operations chief William McRaven who oversaw the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden criticizes Trump's response to Iran and believes Iranians are smart not to want a war but any unintended mistakes could trigger an escalation into a war:
McRaven has been critical of Trump in the past too: "Trump has embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation... When I find something that in my heart I just can't live with, I've got to look myself in the mirror every morning and I'm going to stand up and do what I think is right and accept the criticism."
Former libertarian Congressman Ron Paul has also been warning against the possibility of an accidental war in Persian Gulf for months now.
The U.S. wars and military action in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan have cost American taxpayers $5.9 trillion since they began in 2001, according to a new study.
