It Wasn’t Obama

Posted on March 18, 2026 by Muller

President Trump recently mused that,

“I had spoken to a certain president (who I like, actually), a past president, a former president, and he said, I wish I did it, but then he didn’t do it. I’m doing it.”

Asked by reporters, he said, “I can’t tell you that. I don’t want to embarrass. Would be very bad for his career even though he’s got no career left.”

Reporters insisted. Was it George W. Bush? No! Was it Bill Clinton? I don’t wanna say.

“It’s somebody who happens to like me and I like that person who is a smart person. But that person said, I wish I did it,” would actually disqualify former President Barack Obama. Donald Trump certainly hates Obama. Obama certainly thinks of Trump as a severe risk for Democracy in the US.

But wait a minute. Obama was president of the US when the Green Movement was brutally cracked down in 2009 after the probably rigged re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The first in a depressing series up Iranian uprisings which culminated in January this year with the killing, by thugs of the regime, of thousands if not tens of thousands in the streets of Tehran and other major cities.

He seems to boast with this “achievement”. The land of the free and the home of the brave? Soon a minority.

Eid-e-Fetr And Nowruz

Posted on March 16, 2026 by Muller

I have written about this year’s remarkable coincidence of Christian holiday of Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Ramadan on February 18.

When Ramadan closes at the end of this week there is another coincidence with an important holiday, Nowruz, the Spring equinox which is celebrated in Iran and across most of Central Asia. It is not an Islamic holiday but an ancient, secular, New Year festival. It is rooted in Zoroastrianism that predates Islam by almost a millennium.

Nowruz is not dependent on sighting celestial bodies. The highly precise and clock-like revolution of planet Earth around the Sun results in a very well-known time at which the Sun crosses the Earth’s equator (i.e., the Spring equinox), this year on March 20, 2026, at 14:46 UTC.

Last Friday’s International Quds Day saw thousands of government supporters on the streets of Tehran and other big cities, amidst multiple of explosions. The majority of Iran’s population, not in favour of the regime, probably stayed at home, anxiously awaiting more Israeli and US’ strikes.

“I Really Don’t Care, Do you?”

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Muller

UPDATE BELOW.


On Monday, 2 March 2026, First Lady of the United States, presided over a session of the United Nations Security Council meeting about Maintenance of International Peace and Security, Children Technology and Education in Conflict. The transcript of the meeting can be seen here. Trump’s opening remarks read,

“Good afternoon. The 10113th meeting of the Security Council is called to order. I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute on behalf of the council to the delegation of the United Kingdom for its service as president of the council for the month of February. I’m sure I speak for all members of the council in expressing deep appreciation to the entire United Kingdom team for the great diplomatic skill with which they conducted the council’s business last month. The provisional agenda for this meeting is maintenance of international peace and security, children, technology, and education in conflict. The agenda is adopted. In accordance with the Rule 39 of the council’s Provisional Rules of Procedure, I invite Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, to participate in this meeting. It is so decided. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of item two of the agenda. I now give the floor to Ms. Rosemary DiCarlo.”

It is Day 3 of the joint attacks of her husband Donald Trump’s U.S. and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war on Iran (either called Operation Epic Fury or Roaring Lion) after negotiations about its nuclear program and ballistic missiles got not the desired results.

Many were confused about the aims of the war. According to Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, it was a pre-emptive strike influenced by Israeli plans. So Israel were steadfast of a decapitation strike and the United States feared Iran’s retaliation maybe even on mainland USA. So, they had to join the attacks. In fact, Ayatollah Khamenei and at least twelve senior officials were killed in an Israeli strike on the compound harbouring his residence and office.
