US President-elect Donald Trump’s national security adviser pick warns that those who take American hostages will think twice come January 20 because the costs will outweigh the benefits.
In a podcast interview with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, Rep. Mike Waltz notes that the four remaining American hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have been held longer than the captives during the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979.
“That’s totally unacceptable, and I think writ large, there has never been enough consequences,” says Waltz. “That’s what we need to be talking about with these people. [If] You take an American,… There is going to be all hell to pay. There are going to be nothing but consequences for you financially, and maybe even a bullet in your damn forehead.”
“The next time you think about it… a lot of these groups are going to say, ‘Woah, it’s just not worth it under Donald Trump,'” he predicts.

Why does “General Ammad Solemeini” come to mind?
Right on!!
Make “Hell to Pay” more than just a metaphor again.
IS wonderful news to see “Common Sense”.
I think we need a lottery to see which American helps them load the gun!
I have always thought screw with us were are going to screw with you a lot more.
Boom! Yes!!!
I think about 4 B52’s in the Big Belly configuration dropping on your location ought to leave an impression on the survivors.
When you have 10’s of thousands chanting Death to America.
“a lot of these groups are going to say, ‘Woah, it’s just not worth it under Donald Trump,’” he predicts.
I rather predict that there will be required a few demonstrations of deterrence before this catches on. I don’t believe for a minute that these terrorist hostage takers are going to be deterred with any threats at this point.
The meme:
There is no deterrence without the credible threat of the use of force.
The bumper sticker:
Make Threats Credible Again
May...?
A lot of individuals in a lot of theee groups are going to say, “allahu akbar” “we love death more than you love life”.
The FAFO Doctrine
They’ll just wait until the deep state installs another puppet like Biden.
An American who holds dual citizenship with another country can travel here freely on a U.S. passport, but if he settles in the other country and resides there permanently as a citizen of that country, then the U.S. government isn’t going to treat him any differently than a foreigner if he runs into trouble there.
Ditto
Wrong.
As part of multiple Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations (NEOs), Humanitarian Assistance (HA) Operations, and Immediate Hostage Rescue (iHR)
Operations, I know that we bring out:
U.S. Citizens, including those with dual citizenship
Citizens of NATO and other allied nations
Third country nationals (TCNs) of nations not deemed hostile to the U.S.
The deceased bodies of family members and loved ones (we don’t want desecrated bodies paraded through the streets and on media by the “progressive, civilized, government” of whatever h3!1H0l3 we are leaving.
We do draw the lines at pets. Left a horse on a beach once. Got the “Do you know who I am?” schtick from the owner. Calmly informed him he could get in the landing craft without his horse, or he could stay on the beach with the horse and take his chances. He wisely got in the boat.
