A little war for a whole lot of peace?

"This week the Democrats will try to muster enough votes to end this war for freedom in Iran. Why? They hate Trump so much, they would sacrifice freedom and peace in the Middle East just to get at Trump. The vote should fail, and this war for liberation and peace will continue. But when will this war end? When it is over. Trust me, nobody wants it over quicker than the brave men and women who are currently at the tip of the spear."    

In February of 1979, my wife had been married not quite five years. We had recently moved into our first house. The company I worked for housed some Iranian pilots for training on the airborne computers which the company manufactured. Through an FMS (Foreign Military Sale), the company was under contract by the Shah of Iran. Then the revolution came. Just like that, the deal was over. Our embassy staff in Iran was held hostage by the radicals in the "new" Iran for 444 days. The pilots who were onsite at the company were like orphans. No home to go back to. Then for the next almost fifty years, the world witnessed a new face of terror. Having a theocracy in Iran - has been terrible for the region - for the world. That is, until Donald Trump became president. 

It is somewhat ironic that right after the launch of the Board of Peace, the man who founded the Board would unleash his military on Iran. But this war will be different. It is a necessary war to bring about a whole lot of peace. Whereas the War on Ukraine started by Putin is nothing more than a war of conquest. The war (should it come) for Taiwan will be a war for conquest by China. Once we liberate Iran from its now unwanted theocracy, there will be no conquest by anybody. Only freedom for the people, and peace for the world. 

Donald Trump spent countless hours with his negotiation team trying to strike a deal which would bring about peace with no bloodshed. But there were three red lines which needed to be agreed to for the deal to be struck. No enriched uranium, no ballistic missiles, and free elections for the people. The answer by the team the Mullahs had sent to Geneva was "No, no and no". That was it for negotiations. Even though Trump offered "off ramps" to the Iranians, they refused. The carrot did not work, so it was time to use the stick.

This almost fifty-year nightmare needed to come to an end. Donald Trump has told the Iranian people that we are "setting the table" for their freedom, but they must finish the job by liberating themselves from their current theocracy. The problem for the unarmed people of Iran is simply this - they will be going up against what remains of the IRGC and the elite Quds Force. By the way, it is thought it was the Quds Force who was behind the massacre of the 30,000+ innocent protestors in the streets of Iran. The people remember that. The US and Isreal need to further degrade the IRGC and Quds to make an internal overthrow of the current regime more likely to succeed. 

This week the Democrats will try to muster enough votes to end this war for freedom in Iran. Why? They hate Trump so much, they would sacrifice freedom and peace in the Middle East just to get at Trump. The vote should fail, and this war for liberation and peace will continue. But when will this war end? When it is over. Trust me, nobody wants it over quicker than the brave men and women who are currently at the tip of the spear.    

One magic moment...

 

"One more thing - the dumbest thing Iran did yesterday, was to send missiles into most all of its neighbors. Any threat of mercy and compassion that any of those countries might have had for Iran, vanished when the first ballistic missile hit their soil. Now most of the Middle East countries are enemies of the current Iranian regime. Friends of ours - enemies of Iran."

For those who might have been living off the grid, the big, big news was simply this - America and Israel did the near impossible. Playing a bit of a ruse and using tactics which are antithetical to a normal military practice, the combined team of the USA and Israel did a brazen mid-morning attack on Iran and caught many of the senior leadership with their pants down. And just like that, in one magic moment, we took out forty top Iranian leadership people, including the Supreme Leader.

And just like that, the scope and scale of this war was set. We have cut off the head of the snake. True, there are still some leadership types hanging around who escaped the surprise attack from yesterday, but for them, it is just a matter of time. We will now use the "big stick" to pound the living beepers out of selected targets. In a day or two, we should have neutralized all Iran's air defenses, which will allow our F-15E heavy bomb haulers to really put the explanation point on this incredible victory.

What is the most amazing, is the Democrats back home are trying muster a vote this week which will demand Trump stop what he is doing in Iran. Why? War powers. With this amazing victory, one of the greatest since WWII, within inches of our grasp - the Trump haters are out in full force. Give up this very important victory just to get back at Trump. In fact, the Soros funded protesters were also in the streets caterwauling. They were carrying signs which on one side said "F*** ICE" and on the other side "No war with Iran". Okay - that was a joke. The signs did not say anything about ICE.

Now for the next few days, it will be a giant game of cat and mouse. The Iranians will be taking mobile launchers out of hidden bunkers and launching ballistic missiles at anything and everything. The US and Israel, need to take out these mobile launchers as soon as they reveal themselves. "Shoot the archer on the ground". If the missile launches, we need to rely on our interceptors to take them down. However, some have been getting through. 

In a period of sixty days, our military has taken Maduro (as a prisoner) out of Venezuela and then killed the Supreme Leader of Iran. A simply amazing feat! Once we finish up and pull our fleet home (or back to the Pacific), peace will break out all over the Middle East. 

One more thing - the dumbest thing Iran did yesterday, was to send missiles into most all of its neighbors. Any threat of mercy and compassion that any of those countries might have had for Iran, vanished when the first ballistic missile hit their soil. Now most of the Middle East countries are enemies of the current Iranian regime. Friends of ours - enemies of Iran.
