**Costs of Iran War: Thousands of Lives & Billions of Dollars [NY Times June 19]
[See “Foreign Affairs” Lies at right.]
On top of counterproductive efforts to “seek peace” re Ukraine and Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians, Trump started his war of choice against Iran, closing the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global trade, and increasing costs of gas, food and everything for Americans and all else!
As of July 13, 14 Americans have been killed in Trump’s Iran War plus 414 service members wounded, while nearly 50,000 Iranians have been injured and 9,000 killed, including 120 school girls by a targetted U.S. airstrike the very first day.
Over 50 detainees have died detained in ICE’s for-profit private prisons evidently due to abuse and medical neglect, and ten killed by ICE officers on the street, including Renee Good, Alex Pretti and two this month in Texas and Maine, none of whom were even ICE targets!
Summary, Methodology & Documentation
Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign and early second-term actions are dominated by unfulfilled pledges and high-profile failures, documented by watchdogs and advocacy groups re: not ending foreign wars quickly but starting new, cutting everyday costs for families, and releasing sensitive documents, while some tax and pardon pledges were kept [1] [2] [3]. Assessments differ across nonpartisan trackers, advocacy groups, and partisan critics, so determining “violated” promises depends on the metric used and which promises are treated as measurable commitments [1] [4] [3].
*For decades both major parties have prioritized fundraising from big donors, whom both have rewarded them with big favors, over addressing the needs of American families and workers, worsened all the more by Citizens United and other disastrous Supreme court decisions. A recent Princeton Study (PDF) proved Americans have a near-zero impact on public policy, and that politicians represent only the most wealthy and powerful (“The 1%“).
