“It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”

- Rep. Ilhan Omar ((D-MN) words tweeted on February 10th asserting that politicians' support of Israel is driven solely by money

She was elected to Congress and while garbed in a hajib she placed her hand not on the Holy Bible as she was being sworn into office but on the most unholy of books, the qur'an. A practicing muslim basically radicalized against any and all not muslim...her allegiance lies not to the U.S. Constitution and it's stated words...words that are the law of our land...but to the sharia whose words and laws she truly believes trumps all.

Not in this country baby...never in this country.

Poison to America, Poison to Israel

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

“It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”

- Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) words tweeted on February 10th asserting that politicians' support of Israel is driven solely by money

She was elected to Congress and while garbed in a hajib she placed her hand not on the Holy Bible as she was being sworn into office but on the most unholy of books, the qur'an. A practicing muslim basically radicalized against any and all not muslim...her allegiance lies not to the U.S. Constitution and it's stated words...words that are the law of our land...but to the sharia whose words and laws she truly believes trumps all.

Not in this country baby...never in this country.

She's also an incestuous sort who married her brother which might be okay in Somalia, the third world country of her birth, but it is not now nor will ever be okay here in America. You can read about that in New Evidence Supports Claims That Ilhan Omar Married Her Brother and/or in New Photos Corroborate Perjury Claims Against Rep. Ilhan Omar, as She Deletes Social Media. And she's a criminal to boot having committed both student loan and immigration fraud (which you can also read about in the above links), yet she's one of the darlings of the new Democrat-Socialist party. Appointed to the all-important House Foreign Affairs Committee by Nancy Pelosi herself, now sees our ever so corrupted 'Fifth Estate' heads over heels in love with her...her being Rep.Ilhan Abdullahi Omar from Minnesota's 5th Congressional District...the very district where Taliban and other gangs run wild with the police not being able to do much to stem their ever-growing tide of violence.

And feeding into that increasing violence by the very act of “reporting omission,” now sees the 'Fifth Estate' promoting Ilhan Omar's words and comments on both social and mainstream media...all while rejoicing in her being a prime seller of newspapers and e-news hits which aids in the media's always bottom line of seeking additional advertising revenue. So once again selling their souls for the almighty dollar, the media raves about this unabashed anti-Semite who calls for Israel's destruction while also speaking badly of the world's Jews...but who has finally been forced to issue an apology...an apology of sorts for words she recently said...more on that in bit.

And with fingers crossed behind her back...being a master in the art of taqyya...Ilhan Omar has gained an ally in the media who help to promote her and her fellow Democrats progressive/socialist agenda...translation: freebies and handouts in exchange for votes... while at the same time proving herself to be nothing but another community organizer of hate...Israel and Jew hate that is...a female version of Barack HUSSEIN Obama...the man who outwardly and ever so proudly continuously stabbed America's staunchest ally, Israel, in the back.

Sadly, Ilhan Omar's utter disdain for Israel is spreading throughout the uber left of the Democrat party...a party who once supported the Jewish State but who now are just another vocal advocacy group for the so-called Palestinian cause. And this ever so vile woman not only has become the Democrats newest flag bearer of hate, but also has no problem publicly speaking and tweeting falsehoods about AIPAC (American Israeli Political Action Committee). Claiming that AIPAC is but the bought-and-paid-for lobbying voice and deep pockets of America's Jews and pro-Israel politicians, Omar remained until recently ignorant to the fact that while AIPAC does indeed rally donors on behalf of pro-Israel candidates they do not give direct contributions to any candidate. In fact, AIPAC membership numbers are far exceeded by evangelical Christians and other non-Jewish conservatives as being its major donors on behalf of Israel, which is quite sad as too many American Jews still align with today's Democrat turned Socialist party...but that's for another article.

So with Ilhan Omar basically following Obama's pattern of hate we knew it wouldn't be too long before she started to open her mouth and tweet her hatred of America's Christians as well. Again...more on that in a bit.

And with rightful calls for her resignation still very much being bantered about on both sides of the political aisle, others are saying that at the very least Ilhan Omar needs to be thrown off the House Foreign Affairs Committee as she is biased against giving any and all aid...military or otherwise...to Israel. But know this woman's current anti-Israel stances are not new but do go all the way back to 2012 when she was in Minnesota's State House.

First a bit of background on this anti-Semitic muslima...a muslima who I believe not only is a puppet of Hamas and their affiliate C.A.I.R., but who I also believe was monetarily backed by Hamas when running for office, and who might even supply her with “talking points” to this very day.

Born in Mogadishu, Ilhan Omar and her devout muslim family.came to the U.S. in 1995 as refugees after the start of Somalia's civil war. Moving to Minneapolis...which has the largest Somali-muslim population per capita in the U.S...Omar studied political science and international affairs at North Dakota State University before embarking on her political career. Winning a seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016, Omar became the first Somali-American elected to U.S. legislative office. Then, in November 2018, she won an open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives thus becoming one of two muslim-American women elected to Congress...the other being the equally vile Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan.

So like I stated earlier, Ilhan Omar has already been accused of using anti-Semitic language in many previous tweets. For example, Omar outwardly expressed her support for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement...a vile movement whose goal is to end all international support for Israel because of what the group calls "oppression of Palestinians." And every time Omar's tweets about BDS were caught she apologized and said the specific controversy in question was “an opportunity for her to learn.” Lying of course she fools no one for instead of softening her anti-Israel rhetoric it has only gotten worse, and Omar does not a thing to hide her hatred of Israel or of the Jewish people.

But her latest aforementioned “Benjamins” tweet was the last straw for many, and last week it directly led House Republican leaders to add a provision to unrelated legislation condemning anti-Semitic language, thus forcing Democrats to go on the record against Omar's remarks. And with the provision passing unanimously, in a 424 to 0 vote, House Minority Leader Keven McCarthy stated that, "Amid the troubling rise of anti-Semitism, including attacks on synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, it is our duty as a nation to stand firmly against intolerance and division." 
 
Also by his calling the vote “a defining moment in Congress and for the country,” the ever so hateful anti-Semite Ilhan Omar basically got “bitch-slapped” by proxy which she most rightfully deserved.

Rightfully deserved and not just for the “Benjamins” comment but for other past comments made against not only Israel and the Jewish people but against American ideals and allegiances as well. But first some other past comments about Israel...for example...in 2012 Omar was but a local Somali-American activist in Minnesota... channeling her inner Obama...when she tweeted that, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”
 
And it was only last month that Omar was forced to address this six+ year old tweet after it was caught still being online, obviously overlooked when she purged some of her most inflammatory tweets. Saying, “Those unfortunate words were the only words I could think about expressing at that moment,” referring to what was then Israel’s November 2012 operation against Hamas in Gaza. You know Hamas...the designated terrorist group which it seems Omar proudly supports.

And not so long ago in an interview with 'MuslimGirl' magazine...parts of which showed up on her twitter page...Omar claimed that Israelis are being “prioritized by the U.S.,” while at the same time comparing Israel to Iran. Saying, “...and so when I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it...and we still uphold it (Israel) as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out...” only made matters worse when those comments were caught, again due to being overlooked in her purging of inflammatory tweets.

Now giving as her so-called “explanation” that she was just simply referring to “our relationship with the Israeli government and the Israeli state” and not to the Jewish people “as a whole,” Omar proved what a liar she is for she then almost immediately retweeted another tweeter user's post that said, “current-day Israel is much like the U.S. South was during segregation.”

Now as to Ilhan Omar's other racist and hateful comments dare we not forget this little bit of happiness when just this past January a “staring contest” between a Native America "activist for hire" and a group of Catholic high school students took place on the National Mall, going viral from there. And just like her fellow liberal buddies, Omar rushed to conclusions and tweeted that, “The boys were protesting a woman's right to choose & yelled 'it's not rape if you enjoy it'...They were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants…Sandmann's family hired a right wing PR firm to write his non-apology.” But instead of issuing an apology when her so hated white Christian Conservative boys innocence was proven...Omar cowardly deleting her tweet hoping it would just fade away....guess what...it hasn't nor will it.

And lets not overlook that back in 2016, when as a State Representative, Omar stated that “the best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion," and that "We must alter our attitude and approach; if we truly want to effect change, we should refocus our efforts on inclusion and rehabilitation." These comments were made when she begged a judge to show leniency toward a group of six Minnesota muslim men found guilty of not only trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS, but also of having provided ISIS with material support and conspiring to commit murder overseas. Shows this woman's true allegiances now doesn't it, but thankfully the judge issued harsh sentences.

And then just last week Omar accused President Trump of both supporting and backing a coup in Venezuela that was trying to overthrow socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro. Tweeting that, “A US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face,” and that, “Trump’s efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region. We must support Mexico, Uruguay, & the Vatican’s efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue,” shows just how anti-Trump and anti-American this woman really is for she would rather see Venezuela collapse under Maduro's socialist agenda than prosper once again under capitalism.

What a nasty piece of work this muslima is...and the above stated are only the tip of Ilhan Omar's anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, and anti-American statements and tweets. And she is deemed so vile that even Nancy Pelosi issued a statement in response to Omar's “Benjamins” tweets and AIPAC comments. Saying that, “Legitimate criticism of Israel's policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate that the United States and Israel share, but Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive. We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments," led to Omar issuing the following lame apology, “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes."

However, Ilhan Omar finished her anything but an apology with words that, “AIPAC continues to be an issue of concern, although the highly influential organization does not make campaign contributions.” A joke of an apology saw President Trump himself calling her words “lame.”

And with Ilhan Omar's hatred of Israel and the Jewish people deeply ingrained into who she is...led her in a recent CNN interview to say that it was "not surprising" that she's generating attention and added that, "I think it is actually exciting because we are finally able to have conversations that we weren't really willing to."

Finishing with these words, "It is really important for us to get a different lens about what peace in that region could look like and the kind of difficult conversations we need to have about allies," it's plain to see where Ilhan Omar's true allegiances lie...obviously not with Israel...not with America...and surely not with President Trump for this what she tweeted about him just over a week ago when he called for her to resign, “You are a hypocrite who has trafficked in hate your whole life against Jews, Muslims, Indigenous, immigrants, black people and more. I learned from people impacted by my words. When will you?”

Guess Omar's hatred of both Trump and Jews has blinded her to the fact that Trump's daughter, husband, and their children are Jews.

 

Loyalty to her islamic roots is the name of the game for Ilhan Omar, and if you need more proof just look at this short video of Omar grilling Trump's Venezuelan envoy Elliot Abrams. At around one minute twelve seconds in you will see her flashing an evil condoning grin when the word “massacre” is said...if that doesn't send shivers down your spine as to the dangers this woman poses to America, Israel, and even Venezuela, than I surely don't know what will.
 


And to those in Minnesota's 5th Congressional District who voted this abomination of a woman into office, all I can say is “what the hell is wrong with you,” as I shake my head in utter disgust for this woman represents not America's best but its very worst.

Op-ed: 
Beyond 'Red Lines'...Pressure, Retaliation, and Military Threats 
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Oh how the Democrats and some on our side must be in meltdown mode for try as they may to discredit and make President Trump look weak after his “misspeak” at the Helsinki Summit, it now seems his job approval rating is even higher than before the summit hitting the 45% mark.

Therapy puppies and bottles of bubbles now must be in short supply...what's a poor little snowflake to do.

What these folks just don't get is that Donald Trump is his own man when it comes to the world of politics...he does and says things his way with the tried, true, and ever failing Washington brand of politic-speech be damned. Smart man President Trump is for he gets what matters most to the majority of Americans...the economy and jobs...while his naysayers are left wallowing in misspoken words and deceiving appearances alone.

And contrary to media reports know that the majority of Republican voters as opposed to Republican politicians approve of President Trump's tweets and look forward to them...after all we don't get the truth from the media so isn't it better to get it straight from the president's mouth or should I say fingers. I surely think so for maybe if the media reported the news instead of manufacturing or twisting the news to fit their political agendas, President Trump could give his tweeting fingers a bit of a rest.

But until that time know Trump's tweets are our go-to news and that those within the Republican Party who tell him to stop are usually those on their way out of political office. Selective outrage is their game for they see in his tweets weakness, but in truth those tweets are indeed a show of strength.

Such is the case with a tweet President Trump released last Sunday hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library to an audience of Iranian-Americans where he compared Iran's corrupt leadership...leadership garnered at the expense of its citizens’ welfare...to the mafia while also declaring U.S. support for the protesters opposed to the current mullah driven regime. 

Saying,“The United States hears you. The United States supports you. The United States is with you,” in both Persian and English, was a response to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's earlier issued blanket warning that Trump's “hostile policies” could lead to the “mother of all wars” and that the U.S. shouldn’t “play with the lion’s tail – it will bring regret.” in regards to “the safety of the nation's [Iran's] waterways.”

“To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!” — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 23, 2018

So said President Trump's all cap tweet in response to Rouhani's threatening words and to his earlier threat of the possible disruption of regional oil shipments if their exports were blocked by sanctions.

Thankfully our president does not respond well to threats and on August 4th will reimpose part one of the very sanctions that Obama had lifted with the signing of the 2015 nuclear deal...the deal that merely delayed Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons without ending their actual pursuit of them. And part two of the sanctions will go into effect on November 4th specifically targeting Iran's oil industry and central bank by also punishing countries and companies that do business with the rogue nation.

And these sanctions will hurt, and rightfully so, the very country whose economy and currency are failing what with major amounts of capital currently being taken out of the country for "safe keeping" if you will. In fact, Iran started feeling the “Trump effect" the day after Trump's tweet as the rial, the Iranian national currency, went into a tailspin when trading opened on the international stock exchanges. So while the mullahs might think they are outsmarting Donald Trump with their removing capital, know they are not for these reimposed sanctions will see no exemptions being made not even for U.S. allies in Europe who currently trade with Iran. This has led the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to warn the U.S. that reimposing sanctions could provoke Iran into closing the Strait of Hormuz, thus cutting off European access to Middle East energy supplies, including the 20% of liquid natural gas the U.K. gets from Qatar.

But hopefully our allies will see that having access to our financial system as well as having access to our ever-expanding consumer market is way more important and profitable than any deal they have with Iran.

So what was Iran's response to President Trump's tweet, Mike Pompao's words, and their knowing well that even more crippling sanctions are soon to be reimposed? 

“America should know that peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars,” so said Rouhani, the very man Iranian moderates once thought to be a “pragmatic leader;” IRNA, Iran's state-controlled news agency, dismissed the tweet as “bullying words and the rhetoric he [Trump] uses especially in his early-morning tweet;” and Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement saying he supported Rouhani’s suggestion of war, thus signaling that Iran’s leadership saw Trump's words as a threat even while stopping short of suggesting that imminent war was on the horizon.

In fact, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tried to match Trump tweet for tweet even with his including some caps when he tweeted out this message, "COLOR US UNIMPRESSED: The world heard even harsher bluster a few months ago. And Iranians have heard them--albeit more civilized ones--for 40 yrs. We've been around for millennia & seen fall of empires, including our own, which lasted more than the life of some countries. BE CAUTIOUS!" And Gholam Hossein Gheybparvar, commander of the Basij, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps’ volunteer militia, dismissed Trump’s threats as “psychological warfare” against Iran, but said that President Trump “wouldn’t dare make the mistake of taking action against Iran.” 
 

How President Trump is so not shaking in his boots at the Iranian's words...while the Democrats...who sarcastically refer to his tweeting as “tweet diplomacy”...are utterly aghast at his boldness. In fact, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, who sits on the Foreign Relations Committee, whined that, "Sadly, after pulling us out of the nuclear deal with Europe and Iran, there doesn't seem to be strategy for how to move forward to fight Iran's activities," while Virginia Senator and former presidential candidate Tim Kaine said that Trump's actions were but "another warning sign that Trump is blundering toward war with Iran." And Kane's words led powerhouse White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to shoot back with, "If anybody's inciting anything, look no further than to Iran," and added that President Trump has been "very clear about what he's not going to allow to take place."

But even with all the current rhetoric being spewed about it's important to remember that the U.S. and Iran's "war of words" did not start with Rouhani or the current regime, but started with the fall of the Shah and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, and is only now coming to a head after earlier this year Trump announced that he would be withdrawing the U.S. from Obama's very bad nuclear deal; included Iran in his controversial temporary travel ban; and moved our U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

So what was President Trump's goal when he relit an already smoldering situation? Using what some say is “extreme language” this tweet "war of words" was simply started to force Iran into talks...after all it worked with North Korea's Kim Jong-un so why not with Iran. And in wanting to force Iran to change its “military posture” in the Middle East, at the same time Trump's tweets show solid support for those brave sorts taking to the streets to protest the mullahs and their out of control regime...something Obama never did what with the mullahs being his blood brethren and all.

And while this ever-heightening rhetoric has raised the fears of some that military conflict between our two nations might be close at hand, others still feel that diplomacy has a chance to temper the situation down, never mind that there are few official diplomatic channels to work through. And while Mahmoud Vaezi, Rouhani's chief of staff, claims that Iran had rejected eight requests from the Trump team to meet during the U.N. General Assembly last year, there has been no verification from our side to corroborate this.

But even if this is true, it seems that Iran truly does not understand the fact that they simply cannot afford to go to war with the U.S. as they are surely now stretched to the breaking point both militarily and monetarily do to their presence in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon, let alone through their financing of Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthi rebels, and other assorted terrorist groups.

Being the world's leading sponsor of terrorism does tend to bleed ones war chest dry.

So where do we stand now in this escalating "war of words"? First, President Trump and his administration have made no secret of their well-deserved animosity towards Iran with National Security Advisor John Bolton, a rightful Iranian “hawk” in his own right, backing up Trump's tweet by saying to reporters that, “I spoke to the president over the last several days, and President Trump told me that if Iran does anything at all to the negative, they will pay a price few countries have ever paid.” 
 
And I'll add to that as they should be.

Second, while Foaz Izadi, an Iranian commentator close to the regime, told British reporters that, “This [Trump's tweets] is designed to address his base in the U.S. You need to remember that he is facing elections in November, and if Democrats gain power in the U.S. Congress, they will impeach him,” know that nothing could be farther from the truth because with our economy growing by leaps and bounds and with jobs plentiful for all who want them...which I previously stated is paramount in concern for most American voters... Izadi's words become but an empty bloviation that will never see fruition.

And lastly as to where we and Iran stand now...logic dictates that with Iran's war chest dwindling as protests continue at home and that even if we took the remote possibility of invasion off the table...it seems the only thing Iran can do in regards to any sort of viable retaliation is to make things “difficult” for the U.S. in the region. Remember, Iran has both a political and cultural influence in Iraq, Iran continues to support al-Assad in Syria, and has the potential to stir-up instability in Afghanistan as they share a common border. But even with all this I doubt that Iran would be foolish enough to risk all-out war with the U.S. for with the U.S. would come Israel, and together the “Great Satan” and the “Little Satan” would, if need be, wipe the Iranian regime off the map.

So to President Trump I say “tweet away” for Iran's threats are but cheap theatrics they hope will play well in the court of public opinion. But opinions are not facts for even the most radical amongst them know well that a war with the U.S. will surely not be in Iran's best interest...”tweet diplomacy” not withstanding.

Op-ed:
Two Scenarios...as the Clock Ticks Down
By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

As we tether on the brink of war with rogue nation North Korea, I offer two scenarios as to how this will go. Scenario one lays out the case for war, scenario two (included in this article) shows why war might not be the real objective. I leave it to you to decide which is more likely, but only time will tell how this all plays out.

Scenario number one:

“North Korea 'will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen' if more threats emerge.” 

- President Donald Trump, August 8, 2017

Words said that are anything but reckless saber rattling nor are they words of belligerence as many in Congress...both Democrats and RINO Republicans...try to make them out to be...for these are words said by our president rightfully preparing us for possible war.

North Korea...the Democratic People's Republic of Korea... aka the 'Hermit Kingdom...is a thorn in both America's and the world's side. A country whose people are suffering yet a country remaining at the mercy of a madman who now has the capability to launch an ICBM with a small nuclear tipped warhead riding atop it. North Korea...now for the time being relegating the always ongoing islamist threat to second place as the very mad man-child in charge...Kim Jong-un...is willing to sell out the lives of his own people to the highest bidder. In fact, he already has, for with North Korea now claiming to have the miniaturization process...whether developed on their own or gotten from their ally Iran...means that Iran..."Death to America" Iran...either already has said process or soon will have it courtesy of North Korea.

Islamists to the east of us...a madman to the west of us...surely aligned together and closing in for the kill. 

Closing in and aided by not only an international community whose answer to war is singing kumbaya songs of peace, but also by some in our own Congress...'deep state' operatives all...who relish in calling out our president for bravely drawing 'red lines' in the sand...'red lines' daring the man-child to cross. And Congress' solution...slapping even more useless sanctions on a country we have sanctioned since 1953...a country sanctioned to the hilt and yet a country who has steadily grown militarily stronger...aided by the misguided policies of appeasement by our last three presidents.

So as we sit on the brink of war...'real' war with nukes part of the equation...I find it hard to believe that some once 'warriors' have now become 'lambs'...'lambs' easily led to the slaughter while true warriors know and understand that in war blood must be shed...maybe even demanding to be shed...in order for true peace to take hold. And that war we now face before there can be peace has the enemy in possession of up to 60 nuclear weapons...more than three times the number our previous president led us all to believe.

Now "carefully examining" plans to strike the U.S. territory of Guam in a preemptive strike of his own because our current president dared to upset the sensibilities of said man-child in charge, what is forgotten in the rhetoric of words said is that last month the man-child successfully test fired his country's second Hwasong 14 ICBM, with both political analysts and military leaders saying that this particular rocket could potentially strike the very heart of our own country.

And yet our president's critics abound...a misinformed and uniformed bunch of 'doom and gloomers' who fear what the media claims is our president's "unpredictability”...politically fueled critics who relish in adding to both the ever-growing concern and fear over wars threat as well as to the escalating perception that our Commander-in-Chief may seriously be considering a preemptive strike on the man-child's homeland...a preemptive strike they claim would have catastrophic consequences.

But what these critics and 'doom and gloom' for the most part liberal propagandists do not get is that the only way to prevent a full-blown war is to preemptively strike and take out the very one threatening war not the one rightfully responding to those threats...and in this case that one is the mad man-child Kim Jong-un. And when the strikes begin...when the bombs start to fall...what will be seen is a country amass in poor starving people probably welcoming said strikes knowing they soon will not only be free but be fed. And the rumored million-man army will high-tail it and run as fast and as far as they can, just as many in Iraq's army did not too many years ago.

And if today's Chamberlain-type of despot placators still do not understand that it truly is either them or us...and them now is a 'twofer' as war with North Korea will also be war with Iran...then we truly have lost the war before it even begins.

So how would preemptive strikes work against North Korea...the country George W. Bush called the “axis of evil” and Condoleeza Rice called an “outpost of tyranny”...and for good reason for when six million of a country's people are starving while their mad man-child dictator could care less...you just know that brutality given must become brutality paid back. 

But the brutality that some fear in preemptive strikes is seen as being uncalled for at this time...but know that the longer we wait to remove the threat the more time the threat has to fester and grow. And sadly, into this mix now comes the kumbaya sorts' supposedly' on our side who simply do not understand that sometimes war is not only a must but is actually morally just.

And the question being bandied about on social media, as well as the mainstream media over the past few days is simple…should a preemptive strike be launched against North Korea and when exactly should we do said launch? 

And the matter of when is on a timetable set by the man-child who last Wednesday saw North Korea's military calling our president's threat of a preemptive strike a "load of nonsense" adding that only "absolute force can work on the president.” But the man-child and his military have it wrong for the power of force will be by us even if it now has to be called 'retaliation'...retaliation to also include righting the wrongs done by the last three presidents who allowed this all to happen. 

And with the man-child and his generals...most specifically Gen. Kim Rak Gyom...now setting a date of mid-August either for strikes of four intermediate-range ballistic missiles to come within 20 or so miles of Guam or to be on Andersen Air Force Base itself..."to send a serious warning signal to the U.S."...there always is the possibility that this is but a diversionary war of words to keep us focused on one place while North Korea actually sends a little 'gift' to America's mainland or even to the state of Hawaii...a mere 20 minutes away for an ICBM launched from North Korea and a state now rapidly developing what Hawaiian state officials call an "informational campaign” aimed at instructing Hawaii's residents and visitors what to do if Hawaii is indeed the target of a said missile attack.

So decisions and plans must be made post-haste to do what needs to be done whether Guam itself is the target or not...whether it would be a preemptive strike or a retaliatory response... and it needs to be done whether the current fuse is temporarily diffused and no matter that the Chinese government still calls for restraint in the "provocations” between the U.S. and North Korea. But the questions that need to be answered are what is involved in actually going to war with North Korea and how would said war actually be carried out.

While taking out North Korea's military airfields and missile launch sites is the first must and could be accomplished in a relatively short period of time by focused carpet-bombing targeted areas, not to be forgotten is that the evacuating of tens of thousands of U.S. civilians from South Korea has to immediately take place for the man-child would most likely retaliate against South Korea first, possibly even with the chemical weapons we know they possess...possess to a tune of between 2,500 and 5,000 tons of said weapons, including VX nerve agent. But an evacuation of that scope could take weeks during which time we would need to add to our current 30,000 troop presence in South Korea in what's called "a reinforcement of shooters,” which would include not only U.S. man-power but Navy warships and submarines armed with cruise missiles, plus Air Force bombers that could operate out of bases in Japan or whatever bases are left on Guam. 

And while the South Korean military...650,000 active troops plus three million in reserve... would do most of the initial fighting the 30,000 U.S. troops currently in South Korea including the U.S. 8th Army 2nd Infantry Division...who brings with it a combat aviation brigade, a field artillery brigade, an armored brigade combat team, and a chemical weapons battalion...would aid in the ground fighting. And while U.S. air power using sophisticated air defense and anti-artillery systems hits key North Korean military positions, the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division would deploy its brigade combat team of paratroopers...part of America’s Global Response Force...to aid on the ground. And let's not forget the Marines...close by in Japan.

Sounds like an easy win...right...wrong...as North Korea's million-man army is well trained in the art of ground fighting and Seoul would be target number one as they surround it while the rest of the South comes under their attack. And that raises the question of would we be able to "subdue” the man-child's military quickly enough to reduce civilian casualties in South Korea especially in Seoul. And I am not so sure that's possible as Seoul is only about 35 miles south of the demilitarized zone...which would afford North Korean rockets and artillery the chance to cause significant if not major damage to the areas 25 million people. And unknown to most is that the demilitarized zone is riddled with underground military tunnels leading from the North to the South with each being able to funnel 20,000 North Korean troops per hour into the South.

And then there is the fact that even with a full-scale what is called 'conventional war'...minus the horror of nukes being thrown into the mix...said war would still devastate the entirety of the Korean Peninsula. And that devastation could leave in its wake up to one million dead and a humanitarian crisis unseen since the end of WWII no matter that in the end the man-child and his regime would be taken out.

So is taking out North Korea worth it...is the what could be a staggering loss of human life worth it...or is it better to let the still at this time war of words run its course and then settle once again into what seems up to this point and this president to be diplomatic appeasement? To the first two scenarios I say 'yes' for not only is the end result the proverbial 'better them than us' but the time is so long passed for the United States to flex its military muscle and put the world on course for true peace to take hold.

And know that all our survival depends on it for if North Korea is not stopped Iran will be the next one coming for us...and the naysayers, kumbaya sorts, and those still whining that Donald Trump is president be damned.

Scenario number two: 

While the first scenario seems on the surface to be the most likely...at least we are being led to believe so...there is another possible scenario that must be spoken about...a scenario that even our president might not be telling us. First, it must be accepted as fact that discussions are going on behind the scenes to end the standoff and tone down the rhetoric between President Trump and Kim Jong-un... discussions that will never be 'tweeted' about for obvious security reasons...discussions that are ongoing between Joseph Yun...the United States Special Representative for North Korea Policy and concurrently the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Korea and Japan in the U.S. State Department, as well as being the man who succeeding in getting out of North Korea, American student Otto Warmbier and accompanied him home... and Pak Song Il, a senior North Korean diplomat at the country's U.N. mission.

Second, while we and the rest of the western world call Kim Jong-un a mad man-child...an insane and brutal despot...the fact is that sometimes madmen come close to ruling the world as was the case with both Adolph Hitler and to a lesser degree Joseph Stalin. Brilliant military tacticians via military advice taken, these men manipulated millions to fight their battles without them actually having physical blood running down their hands. And such could be the case with the man-child who is manipulating us to gear up to do one thing when his plan all along is to sneak up from behind and have us lose 'face' while he...if not securing a military victory...does come out on top in the end.

Let me explain.

Kim Jong-un to most everyone's surprise, under a pseudonym as the son of a Korean diplomat, was partly western educated in of all places Germany, and he has a taste for all the 'niceties' we take for granted. And he also is a man who has made himself over into a clone of his much admired and somewhat westernized grandfather Kim Il-sung...weight gain and all. And why... because during much of Kim Il-sung's rule...especially in the 1960's through the 1970's... North Korea's economy was actually bigger than that of South Korea's and as such was taken somewhat seriously on the world stage. However, today, much to the fault of his father, Kim Jong-il, under whose regime the country suffered from years of famine mostly due to his own gross economic mismanagement...the per capita income in the North is sadly less than five percent of the South's.

Kim Jong-un is smart enough to know that this one issue... a severely stagnating if not on the verge of collapsing economy...an economy showing no signs of recovery... actually puts both his political legitimacy and legacy at stake. Correct that perception and the once thought of as a mad man-child now becomes a political and economic entity whose country can no longer be be ignored.

So how would he pull that off while at the same time lauding a victory of sorts over President Trump and manipulate our country at the same time...he would do it through what in North Korea is known as a policy of 'byungjin'...meaning 'parallel advance.' This simply means that his seeming all-consuming pursuit of nuclear weapons would continue while at the same time he silently pursues his true goal of economic salvation. And here's the thing...using the quest for nuclear weapons as a diversion of sorts allows him to secretly focus on trying to set in motion much needed economic growth and honor his and his country's beloved (for better or worse) grandfather in return. Remember, in Oriental cultures, and even for despots, ancestral honoring is a must.

Now how would Kim Jong-un accomplish this...by doing what no North Korean leader before him could do...getting sanctions (or at least some key ones) that have been in place since 1953 lifted in exchange for a (seeming) halt to his nuclear ambitions...and I say 'seeming' as he would still pursue said weapons albeit quietly. Think of it this way...all Kim Jong-un's testing of missiles, enriching of uranium, and threats to destroy any in his way, are really just showy and empty bloviations because, for the most part, all his missile tests have failed, never reaching an intended target, and we have no definitive proof positive that North Korea has secured the needed nuclear weapons miniaturization process...all we have is Kim Jong-un's word and the word of those loyal to him as say so. 

In fact, just two days ago, South Korea's Vice Defense Minister Suh Choo-suk said, "Both the United States and South Korea do not believe North Korea has completely gained re-entry technology in material engineering terms,"* and that they are at least one or two years away from doing so. And on this past 'Fox News Sunday,' C.I.A. Director Mike Pompeo said that while Kim Jong-un might conduct another missile test, talk of being on the brink of nuclear war was overstated, adding that, "I've seen no intelligence that would indicate that we're in that place today,"

Remember too, all this talk about miniaturization success and other such related matters started just mere days after the latest sanctions went into effect...coincidence...I think not.

And Kim Jong-un, no matter our name calling, is indeed smart enough to know that he cannot win militarily against the might of the U.S...he knows well that to fight us would be the end of his regime with 'face'...if not his life...lost. But if he could force the releasing of sanctions by bringing his and our country to the brink of nuclear war...a war he never really intended to start...and then at the last minute reaches an agreement of sorts before the first missile is scheduled to be launched...an agreement that would include some sanctions being lifted... which was the man-child's true goal all along...then in his eyes he and North Korea become the winners and President Trump and the U.S. the losers...'face' wise that is.

It really is all about money as is usually the case for economics dictates politics and policy as politics is but a function of economics.

And that makes sense what with China's official state run newspaper, Xinhua, stating that China would stay neutral if North Korea strikes first and that they would not help militarily if they dared to do so. And in a way it mirrors what Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called for as in “maximum restraint” for their two countries do not want to be part of not only a losing outcome for North Korea...and doing so at great monetary cost to their said countries...but they know that if Kim Jong-un does succeed in getting sanctions lifted...even if it is just the latest ones...then they could pressure President Trump into giving their respective countries some sanctions relief as well...and do so in the name of peace.

So could all the saber rattling be nothing but a cleverly crafted monetary manipulation by the one we can no longer just assume to be a mad man-child with a ridiculous haircut...but a cleverly crafted manipulation by one who actually does understand that in order to stay in power he needs to have a viable economy of sorts.

And so I have presented what I consider the two most likely scenarios we face, both of which need to play out to see which one comes to fruition. But know that in either case the real loser is the North Korean people themselves for they could see their country not only destroyed but destroyed with the possibility of one million dead in scenario number one; and they get to keep the man-child as their 'supreme ruler' in scenario number two, knowing well that now that very 'supreme ruler' will be even more egotistical, narcissistic, bombastic, and dangerous than ever before.
