Good article
Dont tread on me ...means something like live and let live or else. If Iran hits the U.S. first, then the U.S. would shrug and hit Iran back harder without any grand notions of preemption, ideological nation-building, regime-change agendas, ground wars, or larger policing commitments to international or allied interests.
Money quote from the article. Well said!!!!!

Man, I love this guy .. he is truly an American treasure.
GM-lol-TA !
VDH is a treasurer. Read the full article. Every paragraph is a worthy excerpt. Trump should hire this man as his press secretary. SOS, personal adviser, doesnt matter just bring him on board.
LOL. GM-really do- TA
I think the key take away from the article is that President Trump goal is simply to punish bad behavior.
It is not our goal to invade Iran.
It is not our goal nation building.
It is not our goal for regime change.
The President has shown Iran (NK, and China) that our military can take out any target in the world and there is little they can do to prevent it.
Only time will tell if the leadership of Iran is as smart as a puppy that is taught not to do their business in the house.
I think hes already on board. Just doing it from the private sector. Probably pays better that way too.
Agree, especially considering NR has been no friend of President Trump.
VDH should be the ONE Republican candidate if Newsom were to get recalled. 1.5 million signatures needed. 5 million Republicans in the state. Put it down as California’s last chance.
EXCELLENT article!
I highly recommend all FReepers read this article from beginning to end.
VDH seems to be practically the only analyst/pundit that truly understands Trump and we his supporters:
“Trumps base is nationalist-populist and Jacksonian, not merely doctrinaire isolationist. Dont tread on me translated into 2020 terms means something like live and let live or else. If Iran hits the U.S. first, then the U.S. would shrug and hit Iran back harder without any grand notions of preemption, ideological nation-building, regime-change agendas, ground wars, or larger policing commitments to international or allied interests. After the recent furor over Turkey in Syria, Trumps base accepts that he is backing out of the Middle East firing, not firing to get in. How strange that his progressive opponents damned Trump for not exercising preemptive choices in Turkey to protect third parties, and damned him more for taking reactive action in Iraq to protect Americans.”
This article basically defines the Trump Doctrine, live and let live, or else.
Thank God for Trump.
Excellent!
We have the technology to erase the entire regime running Iran and let the people take over rule of themselves. Truly, we have means and maybe even the will to decapitate the Iranian poisonous snake. Why not git -er-dun ... before the demon rats cheat their way to full control of Senate and House and then neuter our capabilities so to end The Constitutional Republic? Waiting until the devil mo ham heads do more atrocities is just stupid, regardless of the vapors it gives the demon rats like Schumer and AOC.
I couldn’t have said it better. Cut off the head of the snake yesterday !!
This is a really good analysis - We are shooting our way out of the OK Corral.
