A Madman and Irishmen - As the Straits of Hormuz grow calmer, Ireland begins to explode.

As the administration's trap is closing on the Iranian government (at least the fourth level of it, which is all that has not been eliminated by the IAF and U.S. forces) Irishmen are blockading major roads and streets in Ireland. Only the Guinness tankers are being let through.

Ostensibly, the dispute is over the rising cost of fuel, which will bankrupt farmers and truckers. However, if you’ve been paying attention, the rebellion goes deeper, to the high taxes, third-world immigration, and the highhandedness of the government.

Under the guise of the idiotic net-zero policies, the Irish government has been using the tax revenues which will destroy agriculture and transport to destroy their own people. Fuel costs could go down by 50% if the high taxes on them were eliminated, but then how to provide housing and other generous benefits to the immigrants who are destroying what had been a high-trust, low-crime Irish culture?

But the “madman,” of course, is our president, who, unlike his predecessors, was unwilling to allow the fanatical rulers of Iran to continue nuclear weapons development and directly and through proxies threaten the entire world.

Peter Hague wins the meme of the week for me:

Decades from now international relations students will be studying a form of the “mad man” theory of deterrence where you deliver threats while standing next to a man dressed as the Easter Bunny, to convince adversaries you’re utterly off your rocker and capable of anything.

If Iran’s leaders thought Trump was bluffing, they'd certainly have reason to change their view as he made clear days after his Easter statement on the White House balcony:

Now it is time for the Iranian civilians to do their part.

Airdrop guns with ammo packed in Styrofoam or polyurethane blocks to slow their descent and protect the guns in farming areas, in areas where the thugs have been nasty and in areas around universities.

They call Trump a madman for stopping the fanatical rulers from having a nuke, but if Iran was left alone to get one those same people would blame Trump for allowing it. They will blame him one way or the other.

“...the rebellion goes deeper, to the high taxes, third-world immigration, and the highhandedness of the government.”

Well, you can thank the boutique ways of many of the women voters in that country for all of that.

Sometimes I read a sentence bordering on art:

Only the Guinness tankers are being let through.

Good job Ms. Feldman. Brian Griffin is entirely correct that Iran needs an armed populace and soon or all these efforts will come to naught. They've had the fight sucked out of them by a fanatical regime for two generations and need all the help and motivation we can impart. Air power alone never cuts it.

Pakistan is sending thousands of troops to "aid the Saudis" but the last time I looked they were even crazier than the Iranian mullahs, with their REAL "Forever War" with India. What are they up to?

As far as Ireland, hopefully those tankers will bring peace and manageable hangovers.

You don't. You deport them. Or better yet, blockade them from entering Ireland.

This is what they bring to Ireland:

LOL that’s an awesome and timely tune. I told Mohammad Flanagan and Mohammad O’Sullivan about it and they said “Alcohol forbidden, infidel. We keel you!”
They’re such cut-ups.

I guess you have to have priorities at an Irish protest...

A joke: What's the difference between an Irish Wedding and an Irish funeral? Answer: One less drunk...

[PLMerite]

You’d think the IRA would get involved in this, unless they’re really more International Socialist than Irish.

[Organic Panic]

Irelandistan voted for their own destruction. She is quite open about eliminating the Irish people and giving it over to imported trash.
