US Nuclear Hypocrisy Pushing World to the Edge

The recent move by the roguish US president, Donald Trump, to station nuclear submarines near Russia as part of his threats to force Moscow into an unjust ceasefire in NATO’s pushing of Ukraine into a war with its fellow Slavic neighbour, is indeed the height of hypocrisy.
The more, since this is the same criminal who committed the unpardonable act of terrorism in 2020 in assassinating Iran’s Hammer of Terrorism, General Qasem Soleimani, and who openly supports the ongoing Zionist genocide in Gaza, had ordered Israel to launch a 12-day war on Iran, and now intimidates the Islamic Republic to forgo its inalienable right to enrich uranium for peaceful purpose.
The US, the world’s most dangerously armed nuclear power, whose atomic installations are beyond the inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and which has the terrorist record of criminally dropping atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War 2 (during this very month of August in 1945), is trying to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from its right to produce peaceful nuclear energy for development.
It is easy for the United Sates to talk one thing and do another. After all, as the Americans say “hypocrisy is necessary”. This means the hypocrites in Washington can pretend to be ‘magnificent’ in their promises, since it costs nothing to go beyond promise.
Back in 2009, President Barak Obama gave hope to nuclear disarmament activists around the globe. Speaking in the Czech Republic, he affirmed what he claimed “the US commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” It was, and remains, the most laudable of objectives.
It is now clear that Obama (like all US presidents) was lying and was never committed to eliminating these terrifying weapons of mass destruction, as it become fully evident in 2015 in Geneva when he forced the one-sided JCPOA upon Iran, without any commitments by Washington to reduce its own vast nuclear arsenal.
It is an undeniable fact that the US regime, which claims to be concerned about Iran’s civilian nuclear energy programme, spends billions of dollars on increasing it own massive nuclear weapons stockpile.
The contradiction between what the US regime is demanding of Tehran and the nuclear capabilities it is pursuing is crystal clear.
This US nuclear hypocrisy makes any resolution to have a world free from weapons of mass destruction all the more difficult.
The US annual manufacture of hundreds of new plutonium pits – the fissile heart of a nuclear weapon – directly contradict the US treaty promises to Russia “to negotiate toward general and complete disarmament.”
As the rogue Trump bombed Iran’s peaceful nuclear sites without caring for possible radiation leaks and orders nuclear submarines to cruise towards Russia with the least concern for a nuclear flare up, the threat of nuclear terrorism and accidental nuclear strikes have become a grave concern.
This is dangerous, and one wrong step the world would be engulfed in flames in view of the fact that the other nuclear-armed powers, especially the illegal Zionist entity called Israel, love chaos and sadistically enjoy human sufferings and catastrophes.
