Chris Cameron in NYT: ‘Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday likened the rescue on Easter Sunday of a missing American airman shot down over Iran to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Minutes later, speaking at the same news conference describing the military operation, President Trump asserted that God supports the Israeli-U.S. war against Iran, which has killed thousands, including many civilians. “Because God is good,” he said, “and God wants to see people taken care of.”’

Well, the pope disagrees. He believes that the message of Christ has often been ‘distorted by a desire for domination.’

And please remember Hegseth’s tattoo.

‘Tattooed on Mr. Hegseth’s right biceps is the Latin phrase “Deus vult” — “God wills it”’. A reference to the Crusades.

The modern-day crusaders are more interested in Tehran than Jerusalem. After all, they believe that the US is the true promised land.

The Apocalypse is just a victory party.
