By Binoy Kampmark, published 5/3/2026

Ukraine’s sovereignty matters. Iran’s apparently does not. Welcome to the Trump Jungle.

All this "illegal war" BS! Terrorism, the reason for the attack on Iran, is illegal. People who bellow about Trump's "illegal" war clearly prefer terrorism to Western democracy.

Yep the world is subject to the decisions of powerful nations, like the USA, but Trump is one of the greatest clowns of all-time

A lot of talk about legitimacy.
If the leadership in a country has demonstrated a willingness to cause general harm around it, just what is a recipient of that harm entitled to do?
In this case, the 'recipient' is most of the rest of the world.
I see that it has no choice but respond to minimise the threat.
If this means war-like activities, so be it.
My concern is that the reason for such a response is real.
If a genuine threat, then a response aimed at the defence of any country is justified.
When there are very unusual and exceptional circumstances, an unusual and exceptional response is acceptable.
Whilst I think war is the very last way to react to threat, eventually this can be necessary.
In which case I unreservedly honour those who risk life itself to defend our established values.
I would much prefer all to be reasonable.
But when this cannot happen, a rather violent response could take place.
I see a similar situation developing in The Ukraine.
Eventually, the rest of the world will need to deal with that too.
