London, May 29 (RHC)-- George Galloway, a member of the British Parliament for nearly 30 years, says that Donald Trump is fully capable of launching World War III... and then tweeting about it.  

On his blog, Galloway says: "The global arrogance displayed by the President of the U.S., Donald Trump, was not just unbecoming of a great country like the USA, it displayed hubris on an astounding scale."  The former MP said that amid an ongoing war of words between Washington and Tehran, Trump threatened that if actual fighting breaks out between the two countries, Iran will be destroyed.

George Galloway says: "To tweet such a threat of implied nuclear annihilation at a significant Islamic country can only increase instability in an already rocking global environment where 'first use' has never been eschewed by the United States.  Washington, he said, is in the process of withdrawing from the limited treaty obligations of the INF with Russia and which earlier unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal.

"The threat to wipe Iran off the face of the earth makes no sense either.  Although he may not know it, nuclear fall-out knows no boundaries and his closest friends in the Persian Gulf would be as equally affected as would Iran's neighbors elsewhere, making this threat one capable of unleashing uncontrollable world war."

The former British Member of Parliament noted: "It is an open invitation for Iran to get its retaliation in first, on the oilfields of its closest neighbors and in the Straits of Hormuz through which most of the world's oil flows, acts which would make the U.S. president's threat a self-fulfilling prophecy."

"It constitutes a clear and present danger to the safety of Trump's closest international partner, Israel, surely well within the range of current Iranian military technology."

Galloway, on is blog, emphasized: "It must also constitute a considerable escalation of the risks of a 'false-flag' attack on the U.S. or her friends, either perpetrated by the U.S. themselves -- like the Gulf of Tonkin which turned Vietnam into a conflagration consuming millions of lives -- or by other state actors seeking to provoke the United States in to war with Iran, or indeed by non-state actors with same goal in mind."

"Never forget that Hitler, using the fake news media of the day, actually claimed Poland had invaded Germany."

"It is long past time for President Trump to wind his neck in and disable his Twitter account before it becomes a weapon of mass destruction."
