Shades of Helsinki, where Donald Trump vociferously denied that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election. He was there with Vladimir after all, no reason to make a fuss over trivia, right? Trivia in this case was 17 intelligence agencies saying that Russia had interfered but Trump preferred to take Putin’s word over his own people. Today we have exactly the same scenario. Iran is believed to have launched a cyber attack affecting seven different states but who does Trump think is to blame? Would you believe the State of Minnesota?

Tim Walz responded to Trump by posting, “Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran.”
True enough. In the meantime Trump is only too happy to go on record selling his own country and his intelligence services down the drain, while continuing to reinforce his fantasy that poor Iran is on its last legs because of him. Iran is just fine and will continue to fight. What a shame we don’t have a president who is concerned about protecting us.
