It appears to me that President Trump does not want a long war in Iran. This man, for a decade now, has promised no dragged out wars to pay off cronies in the government and defense contractors. Remember: Donald Trump is not beholden to anyone. He makes his own considerable living, and because he has literally taken bullets for America, we know he means what he says. He would not put up with 10 percent of what he (and his family) have been through if he didn’t love America and what America really is about: freedom. He’s bending over backwards to cut taxes, decrease regulations and limit the power of government, not expand it.
I believe Trump means it when he says we’ll pull out of Iran within the coming weeks. Remember, the people who used to say this was impossible were the same ones who profited off the endless wars fueling the pockets of defense contractors, career politicians and the like. “It will take decades to defeat Iran. Now make billions of dollars in contracts with us.” Ridiculous.
Iran cannot be “nation shaped” into a “democracy” — which isn’t what we want, anyway. In a perfect world, every country would be a republic, where individual rights were sacred and the sole function of government is to uphold them. A democracy can elect a Hitler, or a Maduro, or a Castro, or an AOC … what the hell good is that for the cause of freedom?! We have to get America back to that point before we could credibly serve as a role model for any other country. Not that it’s our job to be a role model, but by taking care of ourselves we will be a great role model, just the same. Trump moves us in that direction, while the Democratic Party (and its enabling RINOs) are moving us toward all-out totalitarian rule, where the government is nothing but a bunch of sinister mobsters. Look at Hillary Clinton’s evil, sneering, hateful face — that tells you all you need to know about any of our career politicians.
Allow President Trump and our new and improved military (bereft of drag queens serving a political, not military, purpose) to do their job. The reports I choose to believe indicate that Iran is getting pulverized by the U.S. We could do much worse to them than we’ve already done, and everybody knows it. Long live American military might, provided that America restores its role in the world (and for its citizens) as a republic dedicated (both in principle and practice) to upholding the rights of man — the rights to life, individual liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s all. And that’s EVERYTHING.
