The US is doubting Iran is acting in good faith?? Wasn't it the US that double crossed Iran TWICE?? And Iran is telling the US that it's gov't is close to collapse? It's easier to believe that Trump won the election than his claim about the Iranian gov't.

In an extraordinary article published on 7 April, the New York Times described how Donald Trump decided to go to war with Iran. It is highly unusual for the White House Situation Room to be used for in-person meetings with foreign leaders. But this time, the Situation Room was not just used for a meeting with a foreign leader. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin, Netanyahu took over the presentation space, backed on a screen by the leader of the Mossad as well as Israeli military officials. As the New York Times describes the scene, “Arrayed visually behind Mr. Netanyahu, they created the image of a wartime leader surrounded by his team.” The article makes it clear that Netanyahu’s “hard sell” of a quick war was pivotal to the US president’s decision to partner with Israel in attacking Iran.

I bet Trump never even knew we had a science board. All of these caustic eliminations are the pipe dreams of Fred Koch. The Kochs who founded the Heritage Foundation and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create chaos and disruption in our government and society in the last 35 plus years, wrote Project 2025. You can tell this is a Project 2025 item. If it undermines anything for the public good, that would be a line item Fred Koch idea. Charles Koch is making sure he carries out his father's fascist dreams on this nation. He is pissed because his Georgia Pacific is not harvesting timber out of Yosemite and Yellowstone. Charles Koch won't be happy until he is fracking in numerous national lands and parks.

How can one who claims to be human place bets and wagers on war, destruction and destabilization of societies and innocent civilians? The level of evil spreading in this world makes me sick.

Congress created the NSF. Trump should not be able to fire its board of directors for not doing what he wants.
