Houthi attacks on commercial shipping and US Navy vessels in the Red Sea threaten the global economy, endangering the vital Suez Canal trade route. As if 14 such attacks in the past month, and against Israel directly, were not enough, Iran has now joined the fray...
This marks the first time since October 7 that Washington has directly blamed Iran...
Just after Christmas, however, Iran committed the classic “Washington gaffe” – i.e., telling the truth accidentally – when the Revolutionary Guard Corps reportedly described Hamas’s barbaric assault as “one of the acts of revenge for the assassination of General [Qassem] Soleimani by the US and the Zionists”. Hamas immediately denied the linkage, no more credibly than the Revolutionary Guard Corps’ subsequent effort to walk back its revealing “revenge” declaration...
The Biden administration, much of the media, and Iran’s propagandists will probably continue ignoring the reality of who is calling the shots in this conflict. But the evidence is growing inexorably that October 7 was intended to draw Jewish blood to implement Soleimani’s “ring of fire” strategy, with Iran pressing Israel on multiple fronts, directing operations via terrorists and state actors it has armed, trained, and financed...
It has been clear for years that overthrowing the mullahs, , is central to decreasing insecurity throughout the Middle East. Arab funding of terrorist actions against Israel is hard to find today, especially as full, open diplomatic relations with Jerusalem continue to expand. If Iran’s line of credit to the likes of Hamas, Hizbollah, the Houthis, and other barbarians disappears, their ability to survive except in remote Afghan encampments will palpably decrease...

Nah
We do not need to be over there.
We do not need oil from the Middle East.
Our allies need oil from the Middle East.
But maybe its time for our allies to step up and worry about security in the Middle East.
We need to pull back and manage our local problems.
We have been purposefully in aided by an illegal alien army of 10 million military-aged men by the Deep State and now they want to start another war. overseas. Pure treason.
Bolton’s big problem and the reason for his declining credibility is he believes and promotes the need for wars everywhere he looks.
Iran is Jimmy Carter’s gift to the world that gets worse by the day. What a sanctimonious twit.
BUMP!
Because this crew has such a winning track record.
While the US 3wokeists are busily fullscaling into Iran what are our multitudinous enemies doing to OUR homeland?
Never go to war when a Democrat or RINO is in the oval orifice.
Where is a good Land Shark when you need one?
Let Europe and Israel handle Iran.
Leave US out of it.
Liberal thinking 101: Trump order Sulemani death, therefore, it all Trumps fault!
Iran has never affected my life in a negative way, American politicians, on the other hand....
“War is the health of the State.”

Biden and his administration doesn't want to just keep the U.S.-Mexico border open. It wants the borders of Latin American to remain open as well. Instead of seizing an opportunity to stop the flow of illegal immigration through Central America, the Biden administration is encouraging more.
Blinken supposedly asking Obrador to stop the flow in Mexico is pure theater for the stupid.
Biden could stop it now by closing the border and sending armed troops with shoot to kill orders.
The West may now have no option but to attack Iran.
Democrats love war profiteering
A couple of passes with A 10s or Spectres would stop it in its tracks. maybe some cruise missiles against high value drug cartel assets, some of that seizing funds and embargo stuff we tried on Ruzzia.
“Leave US out of it.”
It was Iran that provided the weapons that killed & maimed thousands of U.S. soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan, just to name a couple of countries. Why would you want to be left out of destroying the Islamic Republic of Iran?
China,North Korea and Iran are clearly the three most dangerous countries on earth today. I,personally,would love to see Iran turned into one huge parking lot.
