I understand Trump’s position on Iran. You cannot negotiate with terrorists. But you also can’t “regime change.” You cannot give the Iranian people liberty and freedom. They don’t necessarily want it, and they don’t necessarily know how to want it. Half of Americans no longer want freedom, so how can we impose it on the Iranians? That policy failed utterly with Iraq and Afghanistan, as we know.
At the same time, we can’t just sit by while Iran enriches uranium and builds nuclear weapons they absolutely will use, both to destroy Israel and eventually hold the whole world hostage with nuclear blackmail. The only solution is to pummel and pound Iran until it can’t do any more damage for a long time. The “deal” with Iran is meaningless because the country is run by, and will continue to be run by, maniacs, cultists and bloodthirsty terrorists. If we can at least bring them to their knees enough to make it clear that they do not run things and have no right to run things, we have made America (and therefore the world) a safer place. Until they build up again and we bomb them again — or until the Iranians one day discover the value of freedom.
What happens with Iran is very important. But it’s less important to me than what happens inside America. Because if Democrats and RINOs regain control of the government (as they are poised to do in 2026 and 2028), they will immediately assist Iran in resuming its nuclear program (as Obama and Biden did) and then set out to prosecute President Trump and his entire cabinet the way President Trump should right now be prosecuting Obama, Biden, the Clintons and all the other traitors.
I disagree with the leftists because they’re on the side of Iran. I disagree with war hawks because they want a futile and self-sacrificial ground war with Iran to enrich the wealth of the military-industrial complex. I disagree with the libertarian-type pacifists who shriek that all use of military force is automatically and always wrong, and that we should sit by and let Iran become a nuclear blackmailer.
As is so often the case, President Trump got closer to the truth on how to handle Iran than anyone else so far.
