Trump seeks $1.5 trillion defence boost amid escalating Iran tensions
US President Donald Trump has requested Congress to increase defence spending by an astonishing $1.5 trillion.
Though the move comes amid the war with Iran, Trump and his hawkish cabinet have long pushed allies to increase their defence budgets, and he has also said he wants to raise US military spending further.
That's only $9,000 per US tax payer, bargain to commit war crimes.
Trump claims US can easily open the Strait of Hormuz
In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump has said with a “little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE”.
“IT WOULD BE A “GUSHER” FOR THE WORLD???,” he added.
Does threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age mean anything other than a massive war crime? This was the question I asked my Finnish counterpart, who is a jurist. History is full of those who paid a heavy price for their silence in the face of criminals.

The B1 bridge damaged in a US-Israeli strike on April 2
The strike on the bridge happened yesterday while Iranians were celebrating the Day of Nature – when families traditionally are out of their homes and some were in the vicinity of the targeted area. At least eight people were killed and 95 injured.
We know that it isn’t the only infrastructural damage in the city of Karaj, which witnessed several hours of blackouts over the past few nights as a result of the attacks on the city’s energy infrastructure.
We know that it was also a double-tap strike – which is two strikes on the same target.
The bridge wasn't even finished, absolutely no strategic value. When is the media going to stop with 'might be a war crime', open your fucking eyes. Even a toddler can see there are no rocket launchers moving over an unfinished bridge.
Meanwhile Israel is also targeting bridges and water infrastructure in Lebanon, cutting off the South of the country and making it inhabitable. Just hitting schools, hospitals and mosques isn't satisfying enough anymore.
The IDF also injured people in Syria with tank fire and in Gaza with more bombing.
Iran rightfully rejected the 48 hour 'ceasefire' plea from the US (likely to get their downed pilot out). Israel isn't going to stop anyway. The only way this war ends is if someone stops Netanyahu and restrains Israel.
