Pat Hynes with Anna Gyorgy
Economist Jeffrey Sachs calls the Israeli and American war on Iran the beginning of World War III, driven by a “madman” and know-nothing president unrestrained by “hollowed out” politicians and surrounded by “sycophants.” Some of the most cogent early coverage of the war thus frames this conflict for what it is: a lawless, soulless, brainless killing or wounding of thousands upon thousands of Iranian children and adults and displacing millions. An enduring menace to the global economy, this unnecessary and illegal war also pushes the world toward long-term environmental disaster. You will not read or hear this brutally honest coverage in any weak-kneed mainstream media or discourse, but Informed Comment will always be honest with you.
