MAGA Regime’s Call For War Crimes Accelerates Military Dissent - PopularResistance.Org
April 12 — U.S. bombs and rockets stopped hitting Iran for the last five days after the White House’s threat to erase Iranian civilization was put on hold for a quick U.S. retreat. But by April 12 the new U.S. plan to block the Strait of Hormuz put war back on Washington’s agenda. The last week exposed the contradictions on many levels in the imperialist part of the world: between the U.S. and its NATO allies; between the MAGA forces and other sectors of the U.S. ruling class, including its Democratic Party rivals; between the MAGA political summits and the U.S. Armed Forces.
