“What about womyn and gender X?”

What about neocons who want war with Iran? What about Lindsey Graham? They’s going to put on uniforms, right?

Only if Iran hits us really Hard. Dirty Bomb in New York might do the trick. Or at a large Naval base in the gulf. They could do this. Overrun the 87th in Kuwait? Hit the Green Zone embassy in Baghdad with a few Scuds and attacking soldiers to hit the base hard. Iran could do these things. BUT, the question is—What would TRUMP DO?

I actually spoke to Graham while he was serving as a COL in the Air Force in Baghdad back around 2006 or 2007.

Well, Lindsay did a long stint in the Army Reserve JAG. Not saying he was useful, but he served.

What about Democrats that are siding with Iran on Qassem? Should they be forced into Iranian service to kill Americans? I mean, that’s what Qassem has been doing, and the Democrats are bloody angry with Trump killing their top terrorist.

Nobody, not even “neocons” want war with Iran. That’s hyperbole, an old Cold War Soviet canard used to persuade the weak minded to ignore the facts and react emotionally instead. What is wanted is a foreign policy that is not submissive to Iran, does not attempt to appease by financing Iran, and will make it so costly for Iran to employ terrorists that negotiation is more attractive than blowing up embassies, hunting down dissidents, and taking hostages. A submissive, passive foreign policy like the one we have pursued for 40 years in the futile hope Iranians would eventually take care of themselves will never work while every western country is propping up the regime with backdoor trading. Ignoring Iran and letting it have its way is no deterrent to war, rather, it makes terrorism and militancy a more attractive option for Iran’s regime to achieve its objectives.

Appeasement and accommodation of Iran has only emboldened the Iranian regime to commit assassinations and terrorism abroad, political and religiously motivated executions at home, and has lent support to Iran’s affiliation with narco-terrorist cartels. It’s allowed the regime to coordinate weapons development with Russia, China, North Korea and Syria; and it has of course given the regime’s propagandists time to develop an effective narrative with which to dupe gullible people outside Iran into wittingly and unwittingly supporting policies in their countries that ultimately serve to preserve and strengthen the regime and by extension its partners in crime like Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and North Korea, among others.

Don’t be a putz - maybe we’ll see you campaigning with the dems as they try to defend the terrorists.

Isn’t Lindsay Graham in the reserved, at least at one time?
