It is time for all to understand that wars weaken us and should not be engaged in lightly.

This column was weak. Really weak. Praying Mantis settled the Iranians for years. The Iran military is relatively weaker today than it was in the 80’s, when it had a huge inventory of the latest American hardware, thanks to the Shah’s massive arms buildup before Jimmy “Killer Rabbit” Carter convinced him to step down.

The President will do what he wants. I hope he does prevent the Iranians from deploying nuke-tipped ballistic missiles.

Iran is one of Russia’s central pawns. There is no way they would have done such a thing without Russia’s prior knowledge and approval. In fact, it may have actually been of their doing, via their agents within Iran, in an attempt to get us involved in a long costly distracting war while they march along in their expansionist mission to bring back their lost empire.

Have no doubt about it, the Russians are NOT happy that Hillary lost the 2016 election. They, working with the Dems via that elaborate “TRUMP-Russia collusion” hoax, tried very hard to defeat the president.

The Obama-Biden-Hillary admin bent over backward to appease the Russians in such critically important areas as missile defense, the New Start nuke treaty, the Putin-loving Iran nuke and huge cash deal, the Obama-Hillary Uranium-One deal, etc. This, as they practically dismantled OUR defenses. Pres Trump has just about reversed ALL of these things over course of his time in office. The Russians are (obviously) fuming over all of this.

Here we go again. Same old stuff again. The bully nations of the international schoolyard, unopposed, are building up and getting more cohesive with each other for another world war, this time with nukes, plagues and whatever. And a few morons with inadequate educations in history or more selfish motives are pushing for that process to be repeated.

Think about "They wanted to be attacked" and "No practical military option exists to defeat the mullahs." Both these statements are to be true.

Yes, we could bloody Iran really well, except we have no strategy to capitalize on it and it never a good idea to attack when a enemy wants it. Other than getting some revenge, a single massive air strike would accomplish little in the long run or backfire on us and our allies.

If or when it comes to attacking Iran, there needs to be a long term strategy, and any campaign needs to really hurt the regime, not just the Iranian military.

The neocon never trumpers are just as dirty as the radical rats, this was a piss poor setup to get trump to bite at the hook, once they set the hook he would be finished for 2020. The war mongers would get what they wanted and so would the rats for 2020

One has to wonder if John Kerry may have had some background influence with the ship bombings and take down of the drone.

John Kerry has been undermining President Trump's Iran strategy.

Two weeks ago, Breitbart reported Kerry as saying:

Well, I haven’t talked to the Iranians substantively about any issue. I’ve only talked with one Iranian once between the decision that was made to pull out. I saw the foreign minister briefly for a few minutes at the Munich Security Conference. But I have not said a word, substantively, to what they ought to do or not do, publically like this, since the decision was made to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal. From that forward, this is a public issue, and I don’t engage in any diplomacy.

I haven’t had any back-channel on that issue since the decision was made to move out. And before that, it was not a back-channel. I met publicly, as the New York Times editorial board did, as members of Congress did, as senators did and as other secretaries of state have done throughout history.

Kerry admits to speaking to Iran. He tries to minimize it by repeatedly using the word "substantively," as if that's supposed to make it okay.

On the issue of back-channel communicating, Kerry qualifies his denial to "on that issue" of Trump pulling out of the Obama nuclear deal.

John Kerry is not to be trusted, ever.

Having failed to take out PDJT with Muh Russia, they obviously tried again to start a war, this time with Iran.

Why did Kerry go to Iran on Sept.’18?

Why did Diane Feinstein meet the Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif in May?

After the Iran briefing, Pelosi and Schumer were ecstatic after they left the briefing. They thought, “We’ve got him now!”

Wrong. PDJT at his masterful best. Played them like a fiddle. They will do anything to take down PDJT, including war. These people are not only stupid, they’re
patently obvious. They want to impeach and oust the man we elected to grab back Globalist power.

Well played, POTUS.

‘Too many people in the kitchen spoils the soup’

All those people with NO business advising on foreign policy matters ... need to stay out of the debate.

I’m betting that John Kerry, 0bama and others have been working with Iran to get them to provoke a major military response from Trump which could then be fanned into an all-out war. Naturally, hundreds of thousands of Iranians and thousands of Americans would die in such a conflict, but that makes absolutely no difference to the dems, all they are interested in is regaining the White House.

The inept John Kerry is probably thinking “Curses...foiled again”.

Who really believed he was going to war with them over a drone?

The mullahs provoking a war simply reflects their dire straits and that sanctions are working.
