Unhappily they know, and we know, that Prez Trump is not going to return to bombing. Trump's 'strategy' escapes me. We totally disarm their military and then offer to 'negotiate'. 🤔❓ Negotiate what? If one of these fanatics remains alive: THEY ARE WINNING! They are going to wipe us out!
Meantime the people of America and the people of Israel bear the burden of this incomprehensible strategy. Every day Hezbollah violates the cease fire while Israel is bound by it. Nearly everyday the IRGC violates the ceasefire... while trump demonstrates his infinite patience.
Israel is dying and the American people are struggling with high fuel prices which is driving inflation back to painful levels - but Trump claims the ceasefire is holding and continues - for another 60 days - to 'negotiate' with someone - someone who cannot be identified. The midterm elections are looming and the violent Left is disrupting social order... we will give negotiations another 60 days.
I am at a complete loss. 🤷 I am wearing thin. If we had negotiated with Japan in 1945 we would all be speaking Japanese today.
While the “negotiations” take place our blockade is strangling the Iranian economy. The IRGC may think they can stall, but every day they do the noose gets tighter around their necks. When Artesh (the regular army, which has specifically been spared) realizes the IRGC will let the whole country be strangled before they would ever let go of power, they will have to choose which of their 2 oaths to try to keep: their oath to the IRGC, or their oath to the country of Iran. They can’t keep both.
Pezeshkian has torn off the mask; he has publicly resigned since the IRGC is totally in power right now. The regime has told its people they’re not supposed to say anything hostile towards each other publicly but stay united (in public, at least). They need to say that because they are fracturing because of the pressure of slowly & systematically being suffocated to death. The IRGC is trying to provoke US strikes again because they don’t fear more infrastructure damage; they fear the people, and if there is a common enemy they will unite. Trump’s patience is their worst nightmare.
They are paying Artesh a potato per day. That’s all they have. They will soon lose the mercenaries from Iraq, Afghanistan, & Pakistan because they won’t be able to pay them. They are the ones doing “morality patrols”, arresting, and having people executed. And enforcing the communications surveillance which is so essential to stifling any uprising.
The only thing standing in the way of Iran being at peace and prosperous is the IRGC. Trump is making that ABUNDANTLY CLEAR to all Iranians, but most especially to the men of Artesh, who are the only non-IRGC people who are armed.
Iran is too large, the IRGC hide amongst civilians, & they have complex underground systems in which to hide. We can’t win a ground war against them. Only the Iranians themselves can take back their country. And Mahyar Tousi who has people within Iran (including his father & sister) says that 85% of the people are against the IRGC. The only way the IRGC has maintained control is by keeping the people unarmed. Artesh is bigger than the IRGC and armed. They are the key here, and Trump’s “negotiation” is actually for their eyes only. They now know he won’t back down and neither will IRGC; their only way to save the country is to destroy the IRGC.
Pray with me that this happens - that they rise against the IRGC and eliminate the murderers who hold the whole country hostage.
