America is dropping 2000 lb bombs on Tehran. See here the damage being wrought on civilians in a war that has no justification, legal, moral or even pragmatic. the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima weighed about 9,000 lb.
The Iranians will like America after this?
The United States is now a predatory hegemon—a dominant great power that “views all bilateral relations as inherently zero-sum and seeks to extract the greatest possible benefits from each one” according to Stephen Walt in February 2026 in an article in Foreign Affairs, house magazine of the US defence establishment, entitled The Predatory Hegemon.
Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary-General: "NATO is there to protect us collectively against any adversary, be it Russia or whoever, or terrorism. But also it is a platform for the United States to project power on the world stage."
It's obligatory to refer to NATO as a "defensive alliance" even as it attacks countries that have not even threatened NATO countries. Here Rutte explains that the role of NATO also entails projecting power around the world. We had air superiority over Vietnam, and spent 8 years dropping millions of tons of bombs on it. They never begged for peace, let alone let us pick their leader.
