Trump's quotes about ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours and bringing 'peace on Earth' during his campaign (-). The host's assertion that Trump has started a 'new war in the Middle East' (-).
2Trump's Disregard for International Law and Personal Morality as Justification for War

3Influence of Pro-Zionist Lobby and Personal Interests on US Policy

Trump received $100 million from Sheldon Adelson, leading to the embassy move to Jerusalem and recognition of Golan Heights (-). Miriam Adelson donated $250 million in a later election (-). Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, engaged in negotiations with Iran and sought $5 billion for his private equity group, having received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia (-).
4Severe Economic Consequences of the Iran War
The ongoing war with Iran is predicted to trigger a global economic catastrophe, including a significant spike in oil prices, a crash in equity markets, and a 'greatest depression.' This is compounded by pre-existing global economic weaknesses.
