The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.
How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.
And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.
Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.
No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?
Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.

Does not read at all like a general. Not a bit though it does have truth in it.
We’ve killed the regime. Flynn’s right. He does not have all of the details. Let Trump do his thing. Please. President Trump has an excellent intuition. He’s gotten so much accomplished in such a short time. We do not need to wipe out the country and kill thousands of innocent people if Trump can get the job done correctly. Have a little faith.
Don’t believe the main stream media. They lied all of the time and yet we get outraged without knowing the facts.
Unless you live in Tel Aviv, Washington, or New York City. Stopped reading right there.
World War II is probably the only other war as necessary as this battle (the war started in 1979).
I noticed as well.
The General chose his words carefully and wisely.
I had the same feeling- so many fakes out there- Not sayign this was a fake, but5 it just doesn’t seem like what he’d say to me-
I think that is pretty much where this is going
President Trump has all the time in the world - it’s the world that is running out of time
President Trump is using and manipulating these sham negotiations as cover to keep the blockade and sanctions in place and let the rest of the world put pressure on Iran to throw in the towel while at the same time pushing his American agenda
While this is going on, the IRGC is losing its grip on the Iranian people and any potential internal subversion programs are being given time to get organized
The US is self sufficient in oil thanks to President Trump in his first term so the worst thing that happens to America is a $0.75 increase in the price of a gallon of gas
The one thing that the Trump people understand is leverage and right now Donald Trump wields more leverage than anyone in recent history
They are using this leverage behind the scenes in some pretty ruthless and devious ways to reshape the world in the long term interests of America
This Memorial Day Weekend drama is kind of manufactured because I s conventional wisdom that major holidays are the perfect time to launch attacks and because the end of May is some sort of technical deadline for military action
In reality, there is absolutely no way that President Trump was going mount a major military operation during the Hajj in Saudi Arabia with it’s millions of pilgrims to Mecca
More likely, this weekend drama was more about forcing the IRGC to bunker down and cancel any planned attacks on Saudi Arabia during the Hajj
1) I do not trust Flynn. There is a reason he has no place in the Trump admin. A personal interaction with him when he was on our election night show in 2020 further deepened my distrust.
2) There is a very good reason Trump has several Jews inside his admin. They remind him daily that the Muslims like through “inshallah.” If “Allah wills it,” fine. But Allah can “unwill” it at anymoment.
3) Trump can multitask. He has a dozen major agenda items that just continue to roll forward during the Iran imbroglio (not a “war”)
4) Don’t be fooled by ANY “polls.”
Who didn’t see this going the way its going?
Trump doesn’t need Flynn to tell him what to do. He knows the Iranians are liars. There’s probably more going on behind the scenes than any of us know. Or need to know.
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but your ‘best option’ isn’t even on the table. We don’t have the manpower to go into a country with 93 million people, the size of Alaska, and ‘take control of all’.
It’s beyond a pipe dream. It’s not going to happen.
The public is already against the war, it doesn’t have Congressional authorization. There’s no way it gets ramped up to an occupation with no public support.
And want another forever war.
this is what I was referring and your response stepped into it: imagined crimes
Flynn urged “cool heads” to prevail, citing shared U.S.-Russia interests in fighting terrorism in the Middle East.
He later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about these conversations, specifically denying that he discussed sanctions or asked Russia to moderate its response.
The transcripts show Kislyak later informed Flynn that Moscow had decided against an aggressive response, calling it a result of Flynn’s advice.
Flynn has since claimed the investigation into these contacts was politically motivated, asserting that the FBI was not investigating “Russian collusion” but “creating it.”
I am not arguing your points about the psychology of America and its inability to see through things. I understood that watching Vietnam as a child. When the nuke pops and kills millions, maybe we will rethink that strategy, after millions are dead.
The means, absolutely, we have the means to take it. As for the population, well, there are neighbors like Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, and Qatar that have supported them. Let them take the refugees. Create a crisis and give them the means to escape it to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out.” WT Sherman
Iran has tried to murder a US President, and his family. They have killed US civilians and military while not at war. Karma is coming. Gloves are off, and yes, in this case they started it. You have criticized without putting your own plan out except “wait for the nuke”.
What good does this do?
I don’t know anyone who believes that nonsense.
Word to the wise: If it’s been going on for 47 freaking years, then I’d say that is irrefutable evidence that it isn’t necessary at all.
We are FAR past this point. (This can't be a serious post.) The basics aren't even in place; the military we have today is not nearly large enough for this goal. This plan needed an incredible amount of propaganda, and a ten-year timeline on which to push it. It also needed a source of oil and fertilizer that could immediately fill in for a blocked Strait of Hormuz.
I would also point out that the United States of America is bankrupt, and can’t even afford to maintain its current military posture.
I think the way we keep things stable in the region is to leave some military assets in the region. If they step out of line, we respond quickly that gets them back in line. Make it to where they learn it’s not to their advantage to step out of line. Keep them down and make it very costly for them.
I used to like Flynn but he seems to be kind of heading for Massie, MTG, etc. territory.
