Medea Benjamin on Substack medeabenjamin.substack.com/p/trumps-war...

Medea Benjamin: "This is not about nuclear weapons. It’s about regime change. U.S. efforts to overthrow governments—from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya—have brought nothing but devastation.

Trying to overthrow its government would almost certainly plunge the region into deeper turmoil, with massive civilian suffering and global consequences."
