Trump’s America has become an unstoppable, out-of-control bully
- Yonden Lhatoo warns that the current regime running the US risks plunging the world into war with its hegemonistic belligerence in general and escalating provocation of China in particular

Listen to the screams of panic-stricken passengers, children’s voices among them, crying in terror and calling out prayers, as an Iranian airliner is intercepted and harassed by US warplanes over Syrian air space just the other day.
Passengers were left bruised and bloodied after the pilot of the civilian aircraft suddenly changed altitude to avoid a collision with one of the F-15 jets, although the US claimed it kept a safe distance and was only protecting its military base below.
There’s nothing that Iran – already debilitated by US-led sanctions and ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic – can do about it, except complain to a United Nations that is powerless to confront the world’s biggest bully as it gets more belligerent.
