Some people think it is absolutely just fine to allow people who have been screaming at the tops of their lungs for years that they are going to wipe us off the face of the Earth for nearly half a century (and since they only had access to knives, swords, guns, and non-nuclear bombs, have had to resort to using those to murder many of us on a smaller scale and gotten away with it) have been on a push to develop, and have admitted, with their own words, the intention to obtain nuclear weapons.

They invaded our Embassy and took Americans hostage 47 years ago, and that is ancient history, these same people say.

If we leave them to their devices and don't bother them, they won't bother us, these same people say.

We can't do anything now, it would hurt our party in the mid-term elections, these same people say.

We can't do anything now, it would hurt our party's chances in the Presidential election, these same people say.

It is not our business if these people have nuclear weapons and they have no problem with allowing them to obtain nuclear weapons, these same people say.

Why should we be allowed to have nuclear weaponry and deny that to Iran, these same people say.

We can keep them from getting what they need to build nuclear weapons, these same people say.

We can embargo them, these same people say.

We can levy sanctions against them, these same people say.

We should ignore them, these same people say.

They don't mean it, these same people say.

It is only rhetoric, these same people say.

They would never use a nuclear weapon, these same people say.

They won't kill us these same people say.

They don't actually really have any weapons grade fissile material, these same people say.

These same people won't wake up until the last thing their eyes see is the tumbling world as their heads roll away from an Islamic chopping block, or a mushroom cloud over an American port city, and these same people will be harder to find than self-admitted Nazi Party Members in Germany after May 8th, 1945.

Screw these same people.

This is why Tucker Carlson was right when he suggested that the only people who support this stupid war are Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who watch Fox News.

By my own rough estimate, I would say about 70% of Americans today either weren’t even born until after 1979, were too young to remember anything that happened in 1979, or immigrated to the U.S. after 1979.

Harkening back to 1979 to support the case for military action in 2026 is like telling Italians they should invade Tunisia to bring a final end to the Punic Wars.

Absolutely EPIC post, RL. One for the ages.

I remember the Embassy hostage taking.

I’ve watched their behavior over the past 47 years.

I also hate that this all has to come to head just before mid-term elections, and possibly into the 2028 elections.

But some things are more important than elections. I’m confident that Trump understands this. He’ll try to “split the baby”....but he will err on the side of protecting us from Islamic radicals with nukes.

Eventually, whether we like it or not, the IRGC demands a reckoning. The only question is: Who survives it?

It MUST be us!
