In January 1981 Iran was VERY worried they may be subject to an invasion at almost a moment’s notice. They had nothing to fear from the previous President, Jimmy Carter, but it took them abut six hours after Ronald Reagan was sworn in, to begin the release of the US Embassy hostages that had been held for some 444 days by then.
Even the THOUGHT the US Military might be on the way was enough to strongly motivate the ayatollahs. They were almost abjectly circumspect towards the US for many years after.
The fact that Saddam Hussein was pounding on their western borders was also a major distraction for them at the time.
Cruz is 100% correct.
Obama is setting up Armageddon
But he didn't count on the Trump/Cruz wave.
Cruz is right.
War is coming. If Iran nukes up, war will be at a time and place of their choosing, or a time and place of our choosing. But war is coming.
One good question is, will we be victim, will we be on the right side of it, or the wrong side. Or some combination.
If Cruz is president I feel secure that we will at least be on the right side of it.
Smart conservatives know that the purpose of arguing with progressive leftists is not to change their minds, which is impossible.
The only productive purpose of arguing with leftists is to help sway those who have not yet made up their minds, and who thus may benefit from listening to argument.
We have the ability to bring Iran to her knees in less than a year.
Blockade them so they can not get one damn drop of oil transported out of the Persian Gulf. Destroy their Navy so they can not block the straights of Hormuz so the UAE and Saudi can continue to export their oil to Europe and Asia. Destroy all their surface missiles that can attack shipping in the Persian Gulf, and of course their Air Force. Arm the Kurdish factions in Iran and all that oppose the regime.
In addition bomb all their nuclear sites as not only are they producing nuclear fuel for bombs, we need to find the bombs that they probably already possess.
If North Korea has the bomb and they do, that means Iran has the bomb. The only question is was it made in North Korea or Iran.
I lived in Iran when I was young. Most of the people are actually very pro western and admire the United States. That is the reason the mullahs are dictatorial and ruthless in suppression of dissent. They know they are sitting on a powder keg of anger.
Cruz and all wannabes should not make the Obama mistake of limiting options and tyng one’s own hands. Options include
1) giving Israel the green light,
2) sending ISIS into Iran as ISIS hates Shia and is highly motivated to eliminate them.
3) High energy to scramble and make useless all their electronics
4) Pray for an earthquake that is “over due” on Tehran.
5) many, many other options.
As one with expertise in terrain, I recommend that we send ground forces in ONLY as a last resort. (Can’t we just nuke a couple of cities instead?)
Actually it worked very well in Iraq until Obama gave the country to his Muslim buddies.
It may have a better outcome with a CINC that will allow our warriors to actually fight to win w/o being deemed war criminals and murderers for every enemy taken out....
the Next President Have Two Choices: Allow Iran to Get AND USE Nukes, or Send in Military!
The ruling Iranians want nothing less than human extinction: it is their religion. They call it bringing everyone to Paradise ...
Ted Cruz Ping!
