*The Roman military writer Vegetius, in his 4th-century treatise Concerning Military Matters, wisely advised: Sī vīs pācem, parā bellum (“If you want peace, prepare for war.” My corollary translates, “If you want war, display weakness.”

This article shows Joe Biden to be far worse than I even thought.

The fact is, every day, hundreds and even thousands of basically unguided Gaza Islamist rockets continue to rain down on civilian targets in Israel. Additionally, Iranian sophisticated weapons and missiles are targeting Israel on the north side from Syria and Lebanon.

If unprovoked attack on a neighbor country causes a humanitarian crisis in your own country, well, do not attack in the first place!

The Iranian spies in the Obama Biden Administration are working hard on political angles with the US to enable their Israeli target to be powerless to retaliate. They want to erase the Jewish state. Iran has been holding hostages in one way or another ever since 1977. Frankly, it is time to just eradicate Hamas and Islamic Jihad and Hezbullah. And to cause regime change in Iran. Enough. Yes, this is another Crusade. We either win this new battle of Lepanto, or the entire civilized non-muslim world loses.

This is the first I heard of the “1929 Kellogg-Briand Treaty”. So a treaty that makes war illegal, is broken by all those who signed it, except Russia. Russia never was a participant.

What kind of stupid politicians would take the power to make war away from itself and give it to others? It passed with only 1 vote against. I am assuming that was a Senate peopled with those who were placed there by direct vote, not State legislatures.
