How to Ensure a Big, Ugly War With Iran

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 2/2/2024 3:17:54 PM

Iranian-backed militias have attacked American installations and forces in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan some 170 times. Ostensibly, these terrorist groups claim they are hitting U.S. forces to coerce America into dropping its support of Israel and demanding a cease-fire in the Gaza war. In reality, these satellite terrorists are being directed in a larger effort by Iran to pry the U.S. out of the Middle East, in the manner of the 1983 Marine barracks bombing. That way, Iran will be free to fulfill its old dream of becoming a nuclear shield for a new Shiite/Persian terrorist axis

They want to set up a huge war to come in just as they leave office, so that they can blame it on Trump.

I think they are overestimating Iran. They had a war with Iraq and it was a stalemate for decades with millions killed. Iran could not win. WE nearly wiped Iraq out in a week or two. Had we not quit we would have completely wiped them out. Iran is a 3rd world crap hole run by 7th century troglodytes. I dont want a war with them or anyone else, but if we have one and the politicians allow it, we would win easily.

Remember the Arab Spring in Iran. BHO did nothing. Now we have FJB attacking one of his benefactors. It appears the Democrats want a war before the elections commence. When will FJB declare his Gulf of Tonkin?

IF needed, Iran could be Neutered in less than 24 hours. 1. Target/Destroy all residences of ALL Iranian Leadership...Mullah's first on list; Military Leaders and Military Facilities...including ALL Personnel; Second (30 seconds later); Oil Storage and Wells; ALL Iranian Military Hardware and factories; Their Nuclear Enrichment Facility...you get the picture. THEN the Iranians can take their country BACK! Then we start on all their Proxie Terrorist Orgs. WIPE THEM OUT!

Joe, wake up and smell the terrorist coffee. Iran refers to us as the Great Satan. They kidnapped our embassy staff and turned them into hostages. They kept them while Carter was president, and released them when Reagan took office. They are terrorists - they only respond to force. You can throw tons of money at them, they will just use it to kill more Americans.

#5 gets it. Over half of the Iranian people are intelligent, sensible and just want to live like the rest of the free world does, not under the laws of 7th Century savages in black robes. We don't have to level the country although we could overnight. Cut the head off the snake and terrorism in the Middle East would drop to a trickle. All of those young men attending the brainwashing camps and crawling over the monkey bars in those satellite countries would need that energy to survive and find food. Hopefully it doesn't take another 9/11 to wake American leadership up.

How to have a big ugly war with Iran? Simple: Don't defend yourself. Our enemies call that decadence, and they may be right. What are the odds that Iran is nothing more than a paper tiger if confronted by a superior force? All that would take is some intestinal fortitude which the Biden/Obama regime seriously lacks.

Iran is indeed a third world sheethole country, but just one well-placed EMP nuke could turn America into a third world sheethole country too. And the Democrats are purposely letting Iran continue developing those nukes that can do that. Why are we letting them?!

VDH’s wisdom in this regard is admirable, however he does leave out one very important fact: this is being orchestrated by some very devilish operatives in the USA, Barry Sotero, Valerie Jarrett, Ahmed Brennan, Eric Holder and the rest of the Jihad Junta who are craving for a Caliphate with them as leaders..

On the chance the dems lose the election...they want a war with Iran as close to the election as possible so they can blame the incoming GOP's.They are also setting the economy for up a great big fail, again to blame the GOP's. Has anyone else noticed economic numbers are wildly off and always supportive to the dems? For 11 out the last 12. the numbers are quietly revised to a more realistic and accurate picture of the economy. Just like G. Bush in 2008 was blamed for the big crash in financial markets. As a cherry on the sundae, the dems are working on getting a SCOTUS pick (Sotomayor) that they will attempt to select before the election to further distract from Biden's many failures.

People get really angry about lies, but let’s be honest, it was their fault for believing me in the first place. (Snip) Since the death of Renee Nicole Good, Gov. Walz has held numerous press conferences. He’s posted numerous times on social media. He’s held court with numerous reporters. He’s answered numerous questions. But not one single question about what Gov. Walz learned from the BLM riots! By his own admission, Walz’s response to the riots was an “abject failure.” And he ain’t lying: Demonstrators overran the Minneapolis Police Department’s third precinct and burned it to the ground.

Brown University is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation ... allegedly. Allegedly they have 851 cameras on the campus, too. And yet a murderer gained entrance to a building where a study session for an upcoming exam was taking place. The shooter killed two students and injured 11 others. He shouted something but the police refuse to say what those words were. One student came face to face with the shooter but his description, if he gave one, has not been revealed.

One of my favorite Western reruns is "The Rifleman," starring the steely-jawed Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain. In one episode, John Hamilton, president of North Fork's first bank, tried to talk a buzz of skeptical townsfolk into putting their lifesavings into the "absolute safety" of his bank. The crowd didn't budge until Hamilton introduced his new security guard, former gunslinger Floyd Doniger, who awed the crowd by shooting plates in mid-air as fast as Hamilton's men tossed them up. It worked. The townsfolk streamed into the bank with their lifesavings. Doniger, now perched on a loft with a ready rifle, scanned the bank like a human security camera.

Nothing says “hope and change” quite like bulldozing a beloved public park for a 235-foot phallic tower dedicated to oneself. Welcome to the Obama Presidential Center (OPC), an $830 million (and rising) vanity project in Chicago’s historic Jackson Park. The man who once preached community organizing couldn’t find a single non-park site in his hometown for his monument. I get angry every time I see a story about this thing. It feels as if Obama is giving America a gigantic, double-barreled middle finger.

The steep decline in academic readiness among its first-year students is particularly noticeable in mathematics. The UCSD paper shows that between 2020 and 2025, the number of students with math skills below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold. Additionally, 70% of these students are below the middle school level.

Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz — Kamala Harris’s former aw-shucks VP sidekick — now faces a scandal so colossal it could swallow the state budget whole. Over 480 Department of Human Services (DHS) employees have blown the whistle, accusing Walz of masterminding a cover-up for a Somali immigrant-led fraud ring that siphoned more than $1 billion from social programs. That’s billion with a B — stolen through COVID relief scams, fake autism diagnoses, and Medicaid kickbacks, with funds funneled overseas, including to Al-Shabaab terrorists. One standout grifter, 29-year-old Asha Farhan Hassan, allegedly pocketed $14 million alone from programs meant for vulnerable kids.

Ken Burns is giving a history of the American Revolution replete with leftist narratives unmoored from facts. In Episode 1, Burns erroneously claims that the driving force of the American Revolution was to steal Indian land. In Episode 2, the narrative is slavery and the evil colonists, including George Washington. After defaming George Washington, Burns adopts the canard that slavery was a cause of the American Revolution, and portrays slavery as an unchallenged colonial evil, ignoring the colonies’ abolitionist movement, a world first.

How bad is the Somali fraud scandal, in which the State of Minnesota allowed Somalis to rip off the system to the tune of $1 billion, some of them using the cash to bankroll Al Shabaab terrorism? This bad: Minnesota's largely Democrat bureaucrats are publicly blaming Walz. According to Fox News: More than 400 employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) accused Gov. Tim Walz of failing to act on widespread fraud warnings and retaliating against whistleblowers. The Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, which says it consists of more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota DHS, wrote on X that Walz is "100% responsible for massive fraud

Alexander Kueng—there is finally a serious, well-constructed challenge to the verdicts in those cases. Attorney Greg Joseph has filed an appeal that directly confronts what he argues were grave judicial and prosecutorial abuses, as well as violations of the officers’ civil rights. One can only hope that justice will be served.

It’s been rumored that Kelly is under investigation by the Department of the Navy (does anyone know if the Navy Department became separate after the War Department was reestablished, as it was in days gone by?)

The Epstein scandal is taking center stage and evolving rapidly. It started as a grim tale of sex trafficking and exploitation, and morphed into a partisan battleground. The Epstein Transparency Act nearly unanimously passed the House and then cleared the Senate via unanimous consent shortly thereafter. A discharge petition in the House bypassed leadership and forced a vote on the transparency bill. The bill passed with a tally of 427-1, compelling the DoJ to disclose Epstein-related materials within 30 days, excluding victim identities and explicit content like child pornography. The lone dissenter was Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA)

Rather than hundreds of unruly Trump supporters strolling through the Capitol building, many of whom were subsequently incarcerated for doing so, we have just witnessed six sitting Democratic lawmakers openly urge members of the military and intelligence community to defy direct orders from the president of the United States.

Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President, led by political adviser Stephen Miller, have been so emboldened by the success of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move.

Delegate Karen Keys-Gamarra (D) introduced legislation to create a $500 tax on suppressor sales in the state of Virginia. The bill, HB 207, “Imposes a firearm suppressor tax equal to $500 per retail sale of any firearm suppressor by a dealer in firearms.” Keys-Gamarra’s bill directs monies from the tax to “be deposited in the general fund.” A long-standing $200 federal tax on suppressors was wiped out by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill which took effect January 1, 2026. This means suppressor sales around the nation are now hundred of dollars lower than they were even one month ago. But HB 207 will force Virginians to ante up $500, on top

A harrowing eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard who was on the ground when Operation Absolute Resolve hit — the mission to nab illegitimate then-president Nicolás Maduro — describes an unknown sonic weapon used by the U.S. against his security forces. According to the guard, the sonic blast caused them to experience headaches, disorientation, and vomiting of blood as they were completely incapacitated. But is this report true? Did we unleash some heretofore unknown powerful weapon that literally floored much of the enemy before any shots were even fired? In a Saturday social media post, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt seemed to imply that the answer was “yes.”

The organization that oversees the Nobel Peace Prize is throwing cold water on talk of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado giving her recent award to President Donald Trump. Once the Nobel Peace Prize is announced, it can’t be revoked, transferred or shared with others, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said in a short statement on Friday. “The decision is final and stands for all time,” it said. The statement comes after Machado said she’d like to give or share the prize with Trump, who oversaw the successful U.S. operation to capture authoritarian Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. He is facing drug trafficking charges in New York.
