Should Trump be charged with treason?

[Anonymous]

Professor Robert Pape (UChicago) is one of the leading experts on air power. He has advised every White House from 2001 (43 W) to 2024 (46 Biden), including Trump 45.

Please watch this 30 minute video. He explains the entire Iran situation in detail and explains exactly why the White House would have been advised not to go to war with Iran and why the US is now in huge trouble.

Again, Professor Pape has advised 4 presidents, including Trump 45. If what he is saying is true, what do you think? Why would Trump go against all advice to the contrary?

He says:
"For 30 years, the most powerful military on earth refused to do one thing. Every Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, every Secretary of Defense, every military strategist, who briefed the White House said the same thing behind closed doors. Do not go to war with Iran. It didn't matter who was President. Bush heard it. Obama heard it. Biden heard it twice in a single year when pressure mounted in 2024. The Pentagon's position never changed. Iran is not Iraq."

Yes, but it could have been just as easy to charge him for trying to blackmail Ukraine, for selling nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia or fomenting a coup attempt.

There are so many acts of treason it is hard to keep track.

Lifting the sanctions on Russia when it's confirmed they're helping target US troops certainly is treasonous. It's so obvious Trump is compromised.

He needs to be in a mental institution.

YES, please! Impeach, remove, and prosecute. We need to stand up for our country and drive him out.

This is sobering and terrifying.

Yes - Trump is clearly an Israeli asset who is putting the interests of Israel above the United States.

Trump thinks he knows more than anyone else. He doesn’t listen to the advice of others

Trump is thus on the horns of a dilemma, having to judge whether Washington should deal with short but limited political costs now or more protracted and more uncertain political costs later. There is no golden off-ramp, one that increases the political benefits for Washington. Every option now carries political costs and risks; the initial strike may have solved a tactical problem, but it created a strategic one. Given these realities, the wisest choice may well be for the United States to accept a limited loss now rather than risk compounding losses later.

The strikes that have killed Iran’s leadership demonstrated tactical mastery. Tactical mastery, however, is not strategy. Iran’s retaliation—geographically broad, economically disruptive, and politically calibrated—aims to reshape the conflict’s structure. By widening the theater and prolonging the war, Tehran is shifting the contest from a battle of military capabilities to one of political endurance.

As in Vietnam, the United States may win most engagements. As in Serbia, it may ultimately prevail after sustained pressure. But in both cases, the decisive arena was not the initial shock of airpower. It was the politics of an expanding war.

The decisive phase of this war began not with the first strike but with the regional crisis that followed—air defenses activated across multiple capitals, airports suspended, markets jolted, and alliance politics strained. Whether this conflict is merely a contained episode or it becomes a prolonged strategic setback for the United States will depend not on the next volley of missiles but on whether Washington recognizes the enemy’s unfolding strategy—and responds with one of equal clarity.

They're going to be teaching this for decades in grad school IR case studies.

The worst failure since Operation Barbarossa.

Pape: "It's going to go down in history as one of the great strategic disasters of all time. And we're not done with it."

He's never going to see a lick of consequences. However, some members of his cabinet, the ones that are young enough, may see legal consequences - because it's going to take years. I doubt any of the old guard offenders will do so. Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, Kushner, all these people better watch out. Miller is too clever by half, and despite guiding the worse hate crime policies since Japanese internment, will get off scot-free, since he merely has an "advising role".

For this alone, he should be impeached.
