One of the most persistent and dangerous lies circulating in today’s political discourse is the claim that any American confrontation with Iran-especially under President Donald Trump-is somehow a war “for Israel." It is a falsehood repeated so often that it has begun to calcify into conventional wisdom, echoed by media figures and political commentators who should know better, and some who simply don’t care whether it is true. Let’s say it plainly: this is not Israel’s war. It never was. It is America’s war-forced upon it by nearly half a century of Iranian aggression, bloodshed, hostage-taking, and ideological hatred directed first and foremost at the United States. The Islamic Republic of Iran did not begin its hostility toward America because of Israel. It began in 1979, the very moment the Ayatollahs seized power, long before any modern American president could be accused of acting at Israel’s behest. From day one, the regime defined itself through hatred of the United States, branding it “the Great Satan" and making confrontation with America a central pillar of its revolutionary identity. The first act of this new regime was not against Israel. It was against America. In November 1979, Iranian revolutionaries stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days. This was not a minor incident. It was a declaration of war in all but name. American citizens were paraded blindfolded before cameras, humiliated, threatened, and used as bargaining chips by a regime that had barely come into existence. That single act should have permanently dispelled any illusion about Iran’s intentions. But it was only the beginning. Throughout the 1980s, Iran orchestrated and supported attacks that directly targeted American lives. The 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, carried out by Iranian-backed Hezbollah, killed

Let’s face it. American and Israeli foreign policy is joined at the hip. Does Bibi do Trump’s bidding or does Trump do Bibi’s bidding? As Hillary once blurbed, “What does it matter?”.
I think a lot of the debate is just meant to spin Trump in a negative light. If we’ve set back the Iranians a decade, I’m fine with that. I don’t need to know who’s pulling the strings or why. If the casualties on our side are no more than a handful, I’m fine with it, not because it’s Trump but because it advances U.S. interests in the region.
I wrote this clown off years ago.
Israel did not convince Trump to strike Ira
Trump is a puppet of no one, he is a man that makes his own informed decisions.
Now the one exception, was perhaps the "plandemic", because I doubt that Trump has become all that familiar with the knowledge possed by doctors, and he allowed himself to be influenced as a result, even though his gut was disagreeing with the "experts" of medicine. This reflects the concern he has for people, thus, he believed it was prudent to follow the advice he was being told to do. At some point in time though, he realized that the "vure" was worse than the virus.
“Does Bibi do Trump’s bidding or does Trump do Bibi’s bidding?”
In Israel, the Israeli version of the Trump-is-Bibi’s-bitch refer to Trump as “Prime Mininster of Israel” and say Bibi is Trump’s bitch.
Like I think it’s the same trolls reading from the same script in reverse.
Seriously, go read the comments in the other country newspapers.
No one care’s what you think, Lord HawHaw.
“Trump is a puppet of no one, he is a man that makes his own informed decisions.”
Yep.
They want us to believe that the guy who stood up and shook his fist at the assassin who clipped his ear is a pussy.
That has had more abuse thrown at him by the MSM and the Uniparty — from fake elections, to fake “collusion”, to fake criminal prosecutions — is a weak guy.
Trump is the Hulk. The more people bully him, the stronger and madder he gets.
The idea that he crumbles to the will of Bibi is a joke.
It’s about civilization v. barbarians who are anti-truth, anti individual, anti-freedom.anti-life.
Thus, just comment on what he is saying on this issue, not what you know about him. No one has all of the correct amswers. But he is correct with this statement. In fact, I thonk it is so important, that I would even support boots on the ground to defeat this growing, on going threat that Iran presents to the entire world.
Iran can not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapoons.
Well said. 😁🤙
This war started on October 3rd, 2023 when the Mullahs gave approval for October 7th. This was the day they chose to bring doom upon their own heads. It has now arrived.
That attack turned into the most savage demonic evil in Israel not seen since the Romans burned the Temple in 70 AD. This kind of blood thirst cannot be allowed to continue or even to exist. Then add to that who knows how many of their own they were killing daily.
Bookmark.
Haven’t seen much from HawHaw and Sally in the last few days. They wiil be back eventually. One of them kept repeating we were in Afghanistan for 20 years.
When they get their war ... "This war has NOTHING to do with Israel!"
Hey, Lord HawHaw, Jr!
Yeah, the Iranians were chanting “Death to America” and calling us the Great Satan and promising our destruciton and killing our Marines because they loved us.
The Iranians finally got the war they’ve been demanding since 1979.
We could have said, okay, we're even now. Then walked away. In time, we might have become, if not friends, then at least mutually neutral.
Instead, we supplied Iraq during their war with Iran in the 1980s.
So we kept stirring the pot. And they stirred back.
A neutral, non-interventionist policy in the Middle East would have yielded a better result.

This is Iran’s war and neither that of the US or Israel.
The US has always been the GREAT SATAN to the mullahs.
Israel has always been the LITTLE SATAN to the mullahs.
Yes, America is bad, so says Lord HawHaw, Jr!
LOL.
Axis Sally! You’re back!
