Words of strength, words of preparation, and words of courage spoken in the quest for military victory all those many centuries ago...words that are the direct opposite of what we have been hearing for months now, as in ”let's make a deal” with Iran.
And sadly, a deal...the “Memorandum of Understanding” (MoU) it's being called...was indeed a deal made with the enemy...a deal that in actuality favors and emboldens that enemy while what is actually our (and Israel's) true military victory is being pushed to the proverbial wayside.
And here I speak of our and Israel's war with Iran...a war that saw bits of the regime's terrorist heads being “taken out” one by one courtesy of Israel's Mossad and bombs that did indeed go boom. However, over the past few months we've been forced to listen to words about deals hopefully being forged with terrorists that saw extension after extension being given to the enemy...and while it pains me to say this, I believe, in part, that it's being done in a quest for one man's hoped for “Nobel Peace Prize.”
And win we have not for we...the United States of America...the world's #1 “Super Power”...have actually lost said war via “appeasement” and “capitulation” to those whose battle cry remains, “Death to America, Death to Israel”...the very words still being chanted in the minds of jihadists even as they sign pieces of paper with fingers crossed behind their backs.
And so while the logistics and instruments of war itself have changed greatly over the millennia, MacArthur's words spoken then garner new meaning now as they reach the pinnacle of importance, Why so...because, in my opinion, President Trump never actually intended to win the war with Iran, at least not in the conventional sense, but to reach a stalemate of sorts where both sides could “save face,” and do so while twisting the rhetoric surrounding this war to fit their own personal needs and political agendas.
And as for our goal, besides the main issue of Iran not developing a nuclear weapon, I believe our goal was to neutralize, if you will, the politically damaging grip the mullahs had on the people of Iran while hopefully seeing Iranian oil flow more freely so as to help bring down prices at the pump and at the grocery store here at home before November's mid-term elections. Why so...because Trump knows that the majority of people vote, especially at midterm time, with their pocketbook...as in what they can and/or cannot afford to purchase...and that right now the American consumer's pocketbooks continue to take direct hits from Trump's not so wonderful economic policies along with his foreign policy faux pas.
And President Trump could learn a few things from Tolstoy's words about loyalty, friendship, obligations, and simple right from wrong...that is if he can put his “I, I, I...me, me, me” ego aside for a bit...for at the recent G7 Summit, our president had the unmitigated gall to tell our staunchest ally and war partner Israel...and its great Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...that Israel should be “thrilled” by the deal that the U.S. signed with Iran because it means, “they’re not going to be nuked.”
I guess Trump cannot accept as fact that Israel has been fighting for it's very survival as the “Jewish State” since 1947. And now with Hezbollah directly supported by Iran, it took unmitigated gall to address Israel about its “defensive actions”...especially when it's already been stated by Iran that once sanctions are lifted they pledge to refund and rearm Hezbollah, but not a word from Trump about that.
And how sad is it that Trump's guarantees regarding Israel aren't worth the paper they're printed on nor are his words of Israel's survival, because the fact is that Israel was deliberately left out of any and all negotiations that determined not just our and Iran's fate, but Israel's fate as well,
And to make matters worse Trump did so knowing well that Israel strongly opposed the deal made...the deal that was on “hold” when I started writing this article, what with Iran still demanding that Israel completely leave Lebanon...which is surely not going to happen...along with the fact that said deal only included an Iranian “pledge” not to obtain a nuclear weapon, and to merely discuss making further concessions...nuclear and otherwise...during follow-up negotiations over the next few months.
Another “red line” of sorts now being drawn, probably just another extension in the making...for threats without action only go so far before they become laughable at best, especially when it's starting to seem that Iran has been playing us all along, Many of us who have questioned Trump's making deals with terrorists from the beginning are no longer standing alone for key players “of name” are also starting to see the truth that Iran has been playing us all along as witnessed by responses we never thought we would hear.
For example let's start with these words which sum up the situation quite well, “With the United States or without the United States, we will act and will not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons.” Those were the words of Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen, after Netanyahu himself publicly stated that this deal is not and will not be binding for Israel, as Israel will rightfully defend herself, and might I add my own words with no permission from Donald Trump needed.
Also, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the deal out after Trump recently stated that, “Israel would not exist without the U.S.” which is arrogance personified; while our former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who also opposes this deal, warned Trump against “trusting the regime” as “the radical regime will inevitably weaponize any cash relief to fund global terror.”
This deal...this “Memorandum of Understanding” is, in my opinion, no better than Obama's deal with Iran...the deal that actually set Iran on a path to a nuclear bomb...but for whatever reason Trump and his “Trump can do no wrong” supporters refuse to see that fact.
“Houston”...there truly remains a problem, a problem that started with last summer's joint U.S./Israel military partnership where we had the military advantage over the regime, but Trump actually gave said advantage away. How so...by his refusing to finish (or let Israel finish) the job he led us, the Iranian people, and Israel herself to believe would be done.
Remember, President Ronald Reagan took down the entirety of the Soviet Union and ended the “Cold War” with these six words, "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall." President Trump has yet to take down the country that is Iran. We had hoped for more from this president, but sadly President Trump has yet to deliver the victory he had promised. Case closed.
