Bloodying Iran has been in the works since 1979. While I don't think we need to get into a full blown war, a good skirmish where we bloody them, reduce their overall military capability - might be a good thing for that entire region.

[twotimer]

Trump actually has been very restrained....remember early this summer with Iran seizing oil tankers? Shooting down our drone? A nice little list of bad behavior on their part...the leftist media was clamoring for conflict...calling Trump chicken shit for doing nothing in response.

Yeah, well now that they walked right up to our front door (the embassy) and started throwing firebombs, it's game on.

I don't think we're going into anything large scale...the Iranians are full aware that they'd lose all that is important to them. Trump would tell the military to do whatever it takes, whatever they think is necessary...no stinking "rules of engagement" or a bunch of lawyers hovering over the proceedings.

Trump just told them..."Gloves are off...you hit us, we'll hit you back even harder". I think the Iranians will back off.

Israel Wanted To Kill Al-Quds Leader Soleimani But Obama Tipped Off Iran.


Back in 2015 Israel was reportedly on the verge of killing Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Quds Force but the Obama administration warned Iran of the imminent attack.

The report says Israel was “on the verge” of assassinating Soleimani three years ago, near Damascus, but the United States warned the Iranian leadership of the plan, revealing that Israel was closely tracking the Iranian general.

The incident, the report said, “sparked a sharp disagreement between the Israeli and American security and intelligence apparatuses regarding the issue.”

[Scott Card]

This is the right response.

"UDPATE: President Donald Trump says the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani was not undertaken in an effort to begin a conflict with Iran.


Speaking to reporters in Florida for the first time since the drone strike on Soleimani, Trump says: “We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war.”


Trump also says he does not seek regime change in Iran, but the nation’s use of “proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors must end and it must end now.”


Trump adds that targets of possible retaliation have been identified “and I am ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary.”

No question, beautiful. Not only is it right, but those words play well because I'd bet 75% of the public supports that position.

The other 25% are neocon war party members or Ilhan Omar Iran supporting traitors.

Trump at his word says this is for the acts they committed, not to goad a war. I think that's fair. Drone strikes and Tomahawks and hell raising are fair in my mind, but not full war.

Now, if Trump pulls a wag the dog, bad, bad news for his voting coalition, yes.

I do not believe that our country has the stomach for a war with Iran..........unless they attack us in a major way. These precision strikes are morally palatable for most so long as a reasonable explanation is given and the US response is measured response that kills bad guys, not a bunch of civilians.

Indeed...political realism vs. political idealism. Trump is a realist...that's why I like him so much. He's not one of them...he's not like all these other men have been.

Americans have to ask this: what happens when immigration tips our govt to be radically left, anti-freedom, pro-Iran, etc, etc? What do we do? Ilhan Omar is the canary in the coal mine of what's coming soon. We're very close to that now, and if not 2020, another 4 years and 6 to 8 million more hostile 3rd world immigrants will make 2024 impossible.

Given the current Dem party, a normal America would vote 80-20 against them. But it's arguably still 52-48 in their favor if not 54-46 given demographic analysis. Romney is a turd, but Omar is literally an anti-America, disloyal, enemy within. And she represents that party fairly well now.

Trump had no choice on this one....The alternative was to do nothing and allow Iran to threaten our embassies and people in Iraq.... You just can't let that go unanswered..... Trump didn't put us there in Iraq. Trump didn't go to war over non-existent weapons of mass destruction..... Trump didn't support the war...

But the fact is, we're there, and Trump has to deal with that situation.... A far worse choice would be to allow Iran to do whatever it wants and threaten our facilities.... He can't let that happen. Trump didn't start this aggression..... And you can't deal with an authoritarian, paternal state with pacifism.... They'd perceive that as weakness, and only turn up the heat a thousand times...

This is a classic peace through strength play... The ONLY thing the Iranian regime respects, or understands are displays of strength.... They hit us, we hit them back harder.... That's the way it's got to be. Otherwise, they'll escalate and that puts 100s of thousands of lives as risk down the road, as opposed to Trump taking decisive, preventative action now.....

They hit us, we let them know that Trump ain't playing with the bastards and hits them back. You kill or threaten our guys and our assets on the ground, you start losing generals is the message.. This is no game...... They need to know there are consequences and real pain associated with their actions..... If they don't get that message swiftly delivered, they're only going to turn up the heat and that's only going to get more people killed. You can't let this escalate..... or suddenly we'd wake up to find that Iran has taken Baghdad and is now running Iraq as their own territory.

Now Bolton was of the mind to turn Iran into a glass parking lot if they sneezed wrong..... I think Trump has the intelligence and restraint not to go to these extremes... which is why he fired Bolton.

I'm disappointed in Tucker Carlson coming out against this. I can't think of a single time I've ever disagreed with him. The one pundit who really understands and articulates MAGA and how the ruling political class of both parties had ceased to care about our people and country.

Boils down, I guess, to whether you believe Trump is using this as a pretext for a full Iran war, or he's actually only retaliating as he said he is. If anything, Trump says what he means and means what he says, and this is the ultimate sign of support for troops and property and our people attacked and killed by Iran. Tucker should know that.

Tucker, you side with AOC, Ilhan, the Ayatollah, Kaepernick, Bernie, and the rest of those seeking the end of this country. Congrats I guess. Neocons are sometimes right, and that crowd is always wrong.

Iran Declines To Sign Colin Kaepernick After Reviewing Workout Video


TEHRAN—Colin Kaepernick sent his workout video to Iran after learning they may have recently opened up a position but has yet to receive a phone call.

Kaepernick condemned American attacks on Iranian terrorists last week, inciting rumors that he may have found a team interested in him in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. But Iranian officials have dispelled the rumors, stating clearly and unequivocally that "we have no interest in signing Kaepernick at this time, but we wish him well in his future endeavors."

This article by leftist Thomas Friedman is surprising. Condemnation of Iran, tacit praise for Trump. Shocking.

Key to his ultimate misunderstanding of Iran in the article, though? He kept using the term dumb. No, Tom, it's evil at play.

One of the common cheap shots that I repeatedly see relative to why USA is over in the Middle East is oil. I’ve yet to see or hear of any US takeover of any oil fields or lines. And note that the US is a net exporter of oil, less oil coming out of the Middle East would raise oil prices, giving, at least four Sid oil producers, a net increase in oil profits. So, I’d there any truth or basis to this common claim that we are only there for oil? If Trump were to blow up all of their oil fields, and then vacate the region, wouldn’t that completely debunk this claim?

He's going to come up with some brilliant twist. "We understand Iran can't fight and take pity on them. This miniscule attack, ok, you're allowed one. Now I propose to meet with the Ayatollah on neutral ground, like with Kim of North Korea, to avoid a war."

So they are reporting the propaganda coming out of Iran that there are over 80 Americans dead and giving it more credibility than the information we are getting out of our own government.

No wonder Trump said they are the enemy of the American people. He was spot on about that. It's all a bunch of fear mongering. Just like the fake recession crap earlier last year, they are looking for a way to destroy our country so that we'll elect a different president. It's sad, really.

[Iceaxe]

Readers Digest condensed version of the past few days.... The US kills one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world, a leader that can not be easily replaced. The number 2 man in Iran.

Mainstream media screams that Trump has just started WWIII.

Iran serves up a giant nothing burger in the form of a lame none missile attack that did nothing but pound holes in the sand to save face among its people, but calculated to not escalate tensions with the US.

The US offers up a realistic exit for the Iranians who desperately need to get out from under the US economic sanctions which are destroying their economy.

The red line in the sand is clear, no killing of Americans and no nuclear wespons.

The big question now is will Iran come to the negotiating table?

The stock market responds to the above by skyrocketing and soaring to new all time highs.

The Reader's Digest isn't what it used to be. It has become infected with a "progressive" outlook if you didn't know. Let me edit yours, as they would have edited it for publication today:

The US kills assassinates in contradiction to international law one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world Iran's lawful government officials, a leader that can not be easily will anyway be replaced, making the move pointless. The number 2 man person in Iran.

Note: Probably like you, I read the RD as a kid from my grandma's and mom's hand me down copies. I loved its emphasis on sweet, traditional, middle American values and stories. So I subscribed in some $2/yr deal about 2 years ago. Needless to say, it was unrecognizable. Pushing LGBT stories and racial disharmony and the beauty of government programs and such. So sad.

With all the military surveillance assets we would have had over Iran at that time we know exactly who fired the missile. Our military can probably tell you the license plate number on the car of the battery commander.

You notice the information about who shot the plane down kind of just leaked out from unnamed US sources. That was our way of making sure the blame was placed where it belongs.
