“...we are not going to be baited into fighting Iran.”
Iran wants to bait you. It’s seizing oil tankers. If you don’t take that bait, they’ll seize another naval vessel. If that doesn’t work, they’ll sink a naval vessel. Sooner or later, they will get a war with you. This is ancient Roman wisdom. “He that wants peace must prepare for war”. Note the double meaning.
If you want peace, you either must be strong enough that nobody will dare mess with you, or you better prepare for war, because you’ll have one.
I submit to you, America is no longer strong, because of Afghanistan, because of halting oil and gas production, because the supply lines still run through China, because America has been squandering resources on a war of attrition in Ukraine instead of giving them the resources to win quickly and decisively, and because your CIC is Brandon.
So you will have a war. Turning the other cheek is a sure way to get one. Spreading the other cheeks guarantees it.
I said he’s not able to advocate for those prisoners on death row for protesting, because of his treatment of J6 defendants, because of his obvious weakness, and because he’s a senile old coot, and because he has been mute about Iranian protests, and given them zero support.
Everyone else, however, can help in many ways. I’m sure you can figure it out.
What would Brandon do if Iran offered to pardon the protesters in exchange for releasing the political prisoners from J6?
Do you need to ask? LOL. He’d get flustered, call the Iranian ambassador a lying, dog-faced pony soldier, and wander off.
The idea of Iran attacking the United States is ludicrous.
It’s already happened. Once during the Carter Administration, and once during the Reagan Administration. Once during Obama’s administration, and he ordered the crew to surrender. Now with these oil tankers. The only time they got a hard response was from Reagan.
It’s ludicrous to the United States for Iran to attack it. It is not, however, ludicrous to Iran. They believe Allah will guide their hand, and they believe that politically, this is the way to stop all the protests against their rule. They also believe, not unreasonably, that the United States is being led by weak, indecisive old coot, whose heir apparent is a cackling woman without the sense G-d gave a cucumber. And to them she already has three strikes against her for being a woman.
