Trump bit Iran’s head off, however Iran bites again
Bronx: Right here we’re, we’re lastly at battle with Iran. It’s a battle that each U.S. president has distinctly tried to keep away from for nearly half a century. Nicely, now we would simply discover out why.
For starters, all of us higher hope Iran doesn’t have already got a nuclear weapons stockpile. In the event that they do, they won’t use them at first. That might be suicide they usually comprehend it. In the event that they had been to try this, President Trump would for positive retaliate accordingly and readily wipe most of them off the face of the Earth.
However because the battle escalates and Iran’s leaders inevitably see themselves failing and with nothing left to lose, Israel would most probably be focused by Iran’s missiles as a result of they don’t have missiles with vary lengthy sufficient to achieve our continent. Such a situation could be an actual Armageddon! And there’s an precise Armageddon, an historic Israelite settlement known as Megiddo in northern Israel.
Essentially the most sickening facet of this complete ruinous debacle is that Trump may be utilizing this dangerously manufactured battle as a way to divert consideration away from his personal involvement in a infamous pedophile’s deplorable, legal ring of deprivation. If that’s really the case, then he’ll cease at nothing. Might God assist us all! Carlos B. Martinez
Lied then or mendacity now?
Woodstock, N.Y.: I believed our Expensive Chief had already obliterated Iran’s nuclear weaponry. So why are we invading their nation? May or not it’s that he doesn’t know what obliterated means? Or is it that he’ll do something to distract from his crappy rankings relating to the financial system, the Drumpf-Epstein information and his self-enrichment whereas the American individuals lose all entry to inexpensive well being care? I’m guessing the latter. Suzanne Hayes-Kelly
Huge distraction
Brooklyn: The place’s the thriller of Trump’s sudden assault on Iran? Coincidentally, his title was simply uncovered in a reputable accusation by a girl who mentioned Trump abused her when she was 13 or 14 years previous. As a substitute, we’re protecting a “battle.” Herman Kolender
Everyone loses
Dartmouth, Mass.: Not being glad punishing his American enemies with frivolous lawsuits and legal indictments, Trump is on a rampage to destroy international locations that don’t bend to his threats by deposing their leaders or making monetary offers favoring the U.S., his household or his enabling billionaires. This assault on Iran, executed solely with Israel, will additional alienate allies and hostile nations alike. What may be gained is much outweighed by the worldwide disruption this can trigger. And the lack of American lives so cavalierly sacrificed by a person who has by no means risked his life or assets is appalling. The actions and conduct of Trump are unquestionably these of a person affected by psychological dysfunction and possibly early phases of dementia. That small cabal of handlers pulling the strings and feeding his ego, lust for revenge and greed are the true culprits who should be held accountable. Betty Ussach
Honorary honor solely
Manhattan: You may subtract one from the 14 or 15 wars Mr. Chump has stopped. Isn’t it a disgrace he can’t give himself the Medal of Honor he so deserves? Possibly one in all our previous honorees would give him theirs. Raymond McEaddy
Dragged into battle
Rockaway Park: Hey America, it’s your fault that our nation appears to be in chaos at dwelling and overseas. These of you who selected to vote for a narcissistic, insecure racist moderately than an African-American girl with an impeccable document and no baggage are accountable. Do you truthfully suppose this nation could be continually concerned in some sort of ongoing disaster had you voted one other method? In case you voted for the present president and also you’re not rich, how has he made your life higher? Who stands to learn from a battle with Iran? Is it you or the Trump household? Among the many many causes Trump has for beginning this battle is to distract us from his poor favorability numbers amongst People. Disgrace on you for selecting an incompetent particular person to steer our nation. Anthony Johnson
Tone-setter
Brooklyn: To Voicer Arlene Reilly: Relating to the media selling unhealthy language, you’re completely proper. They shouldn’t be doing that. However I didn’t see you additionally point out the president. He’s all the time utilizing unhealthy language — not solely throwing out unhealthy phrases, however insulting and belittling others. It’s good to be honest and trustworthy and never be one-sided. Carol Singleton
Tactical barrier
Merion Station, Pa.: After my 87-year-old mom moved nearer to me, I took her to amass a state ID and voter registration card. 4 years later, Ma was nonetheless going sturdy and utilizing her walker to get to our native polling station. Nevertheless, she wasn’t as much as spending hours on the DMV to resume her ID. Since her delivery certificates or state-issued ID weren’t a voting requirement, she voted till she handed away. I ponder what individuals who can’t discover their delivery certificates, or don’t drive or have household/associates to take them to re-register for brand spanking new IDs, will do if additional voter restrictions are imposed. Black, Hispanic and poor voters, who predominantly vote Democratic and reside in purple or blue states, will probably be most severely impacted by voting restrictions — the one purpose Trump and his Republican henchmen are so adamant about tightening voter legal guidelines. Paul L. Newman
Dismantled
Farmingville, L.I.: USAID beforehand supplied assets for impoverished international locations. Nevertheless, as a result of sudden shutdown of this system, dire penalties will ensue. After supporting the well being and livelihood of individuals in Kenya and Rwanda by means of medicine, the shutdown of the USAID program has left these individuals inclined to varied diseases that unfold since there are not any drugs out there. Because of these circumstances, the Lancet medical journal projected that there could be 9.4 million deaths. Though the Trump administration has begun to kind world well being applications to offer drugs, it’s too little too late. By the point they’re created, many of the results as a result of elimination of USAID will already be felt. Julianna Wottawa
Managed fires
Bronx: Re “The Argyle Sweater” sketch of Feb. 28: Firefighters do certainly combat fireplace with fireplace. It’s a way known as back-burning, when fires are intentionally set on the entrance of out-of-control brushfires and wildfires to aim to make use of up the gasoline these fires would feed on and thus be capable of include them. Judith H. Block
Native legend
New Windsor, N.Y.: I used to be saddened to listen to in regards to the passing of Neil Sedaka. This Brooklyn good man and Abraham Lincoln Excessive College alum created hit songs for himself and different artists that can final for generations to return. To not point out his daughter Dara, who’s a terrific singer herself. Thanks for the music, Neil, and relaxation in peace as you climb that “Stairway to Heaven” in your approach to “Rock and Roll Heaven,” the place you realize they’ve bought a hell of a band.
