NOTE (14JUL2025): Israel & Iran:
Henry Kissinger (1923-2023) said, “The guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win”.
So it is between Israel and Iran or, more precisely, Israel and Iranian proxies. Whereas Israel has disabled the tail of the Iranian snake, its proxies, Israel has failed, thus far, to destroy its head. The mullahs in Tehran remain in power and remain committed to developing nuclear weapons in keeping with the dictates of their bible, the Koran. They will return to terrorism via proxies when practicable.
“Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme.” – The Recital (The Koran), The Spoils 8:36
Meanwhile, Americans, led by a cabal of deceitful politicians, refuse to acknowledge that Mohammedanism (Islam) is a religion of war not peace. There is no moderate Islam.
“The term, ‘Moderate Islam’, is ugly and offensive. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.”-Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (b. 1954), President of Turkey (2003- )
In the war between Israel and Iran, the latter prefers to use guerillas via its proxies; whereas, Israel generally uses conventional military forces. Israel has a powerful ally, however, in the person of American President Trump. Unfortunately, Mr. Trump is a fickle ally. During his most recent campaign for the presidency, he campaigned as the champion of peace. Not to be! Biologically-driven, mankind is a cruel and brutal species. Consider Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and an endless list of tyrants preceding these three. Mr. Trump is an elderly actor who is strutting and fretting his moment on the stage. There is no peace in our world of today, Mr. Trump. If you don’t win today, America will lose tomorrow. You are not allowing Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to win today. So, tomorrow?
More’s the truth. More’s the pity.
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” -Matthew 7:6
(Note 23JUN2025): Relief. Blessed Relief
“Screw your courage to the sticking place.” -from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
When President Trump relieved the world of the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran, he showed the courage that theretofore some had accused him of lacking. No more “TACO” Trump now. No more counterproductive blather with the “art of the deal”.
“Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” -Mao Zedong (1893-1976)
Ironically, no one feels relief more than the Mohammedan (Muslim) Arabs. The Mohammedan Persians in Iran had demonstrated to the Mohammedan Arabs in Saudi Arabia, for example, that they would use violence against them, even without nuclear weapons. The Saudis caved. With nuclear weapons? Fulfillment of the mullah’s goal of restoration of a Persian empire in the Middle East.*
(Note: East of where? East of London.)
Also feeling relief are the Chinese in Taiwan. Communist China will think long and hard before attacking or blockading the island-nation. Chairman Xi will not be so quick to “wag the dog” via naked aggression against Taiwan in order to divert attention from his self-imposed domestic troubles.
Then, there is Israel. Brilliant planning. Exquisite execution. Consequence? Severe impairment of the Iranian war-machine, allowing these United States freedom to attack from the air with impunity. The seeds of Mr. Trump’s courage were planted in Israeli soil.
Our President has reëstablished global American authority. He has demonstrated that the American Empire still has life. He has blessed the world, including the Iranian people, with a sense of relief for which the world should feel gratitude. To the American political nay-sayers with their misguided, legalistic mumbo-jumbo this commentator replies, “A curse upon your house of cowardice.”
“They swallow camels while choking on gnats.” -Matthew 23:24
-End-
Iran now has shown how massing missiles in an attack can overwhelm the best, current Israeli defenses. If some of those Iranian missiles had carried nuclear warheads, good-bye Israel. As Israel is showing, put simply and plainly, neither it nor the rest of the world can afford to allow the Iranian fanatics to gain nuclear armaments. What is the consequence of Iranian belligerence for us Americans?
As the Iranians say to us, “We are willing to die. You Americans are not willing to fight.”
That which they say is only partially true. We are willing to fight half-heartedly by, since Truman and the Korean Conflict, fighting not to win.
Waiting-Game
For its part in the current context, Israel could have gambled its existence by playing a waiting-game; betting that internal, Iranian unrest would topple the tyrannical, theocratic government. “You bet your life,” the late Groucho Marx might say. Such is the gamble with Israeli existence that President Trump seems to have been playing while he grabbed the spotlight in so-called negotiations despite it being clear that Iran was using the blather simply to gain time to develop its nuclear capability.
The Israelis, however, were not to be fooled by the razzle-dazzle of Mr. Trump’s self-proclaimed brilliance. They would have attacked without Mr. Trump’s benediction. Had Iran succeeded in its plan, and had it launched a nuclear attack as the mullahs promised, Israel assuredly would have launched a nuclear retaliation before disappearing into the dustbin of history. For the rest of the world, then?
“To be an enemy of the United States is dangerous. To be a friend is fatal.” -attributed to Henry Kissinger (1923-2023)
President Trump, nevertheless, continues to claim that a nuclear-armed Iran cannot be allowed while supposedly keeping open the door for more blather. “No nuclear-armed Iran!” says he, reminiscent of his predecessor. Such is The What of American foreign policy, which Mr. Trump understands quite well.
Ah, but The How? How to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran? The answer he leaves to a nation the size of Riverside County in California. In doing so, he waffles. He ships armaments but vetoes Israel assassinating the Supreme Leader of Iran and refuses to provide Israel with the military support necessary to end the Iranian nuclear program. By denying Israel the conventional support required to destroy completely Iranian nuclear facilities located deeply underground at Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, he leaves only a single option for Israel; namely, in order to launch a final and total kill, Israel must employ the use of a tactical, nuclear weapon — the exact opposite of that which Mr. Trump claims that he wants, a return of nuclear warfare. Israel cannot afford to allow Iran nuclear capability, or it has lost the war. Then? Such is The How, which Mr. Trump seems to understand hardly at all.
“Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived.” -Petronius (1st-century A.D.)
With regard to a nuclear-armed Israel, notice that the Media rarely refer to the fact that Israel is a nuclear-armed nation. Best to continue deceiving the fragile souls on The Left who whine about a so-called humanitarianism that would sacrifice the innocent in favor of the guilty; best to continue deceiving the arrogant fools on The Right who howl in favor of America ignoring a clear and present danger from fanatics abroad. Money in the till talks louder than truth in the ears.
Clearly, the Iranians, for their part, assume that Israel will not go nuclear out of concern about the unfavorable reaction of the “international community”, most of which is anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic. Iran has no such qualms.
Alternative for America? Join Israel now in launching that final and total kill of the mullahs’ nuclear capabilities using conventional military assets that only America possesses. Contrary to its claims, Iran needs a civilian nuclear capability as a bull needs teats. To do so, however, means that Trump, the self-proclaimed maker of peace, becomes Trump, the wager of war. Ironically for America and Mr. Trump, peace through war may be the only way.
We Americans and others in the West should not forget that Mohammedanism (Islam) began and remains a religion of war. Muslims whether Shia or Sunni are not your friends.
“Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God’s religion shall reign supreme.” -The Recital (The Koran), The Spoils 8:36
Moderate Muslims? Believe the following words of one who knows:
“The term, ‘Moderate Islam’, is ugly and offensive. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam.” -Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (b. 1954), President of Turkey (2003- )

“The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” -Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831)
Yet, Jewish “Peaceniks” have been continuing to undermine Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military strategy in Gaza and elsewhere. These “Peaceniks” seem to believe that they can talk their way out of anything. Wrong! Did they not learn from Hitler? They failed with der Führer, and they will fail with the Supreme Leader.
Mao Zedong knew of that which he spoke when he said ultimately all political power comes out of the barrel of a gun. In negotiating, Al Capone also knew of that which he spoke when he said you get a lot further with a smile and a gun than with a smile alone. The mullahs in Iran understand these truths; whereas, the Jewish “Peaceniks” never will.
Jews, understand the following: Much of the world hates you. Remember 1939 and Hitler’s Voyage of the Damned when even these United States refused entry to nine-hundred, well-educated Germanic Jews, forcing them to return to Europe, many to face extermination at the Nazis’ death-camps. Hitler wanted to show the world what it thought of Jews. He succeeded. Thank God for an Israel today that will fight to resist extermination and offer you armed sanctuary from those who wish you ill because you are Jewish. Would you prefer to be loaded like sheep onto cattle-cars to be taken to your deaths in gas-chambers as were your predecessors? Can’t happen here? Guess again! Witness the rising anti-Semitism condoned in actions even by some prominent Jews like the President of Harvard, Alan Garber M.D. Ignore that which he says; concentrate on that which he does.
As this commentator wrote in “Jews Of The Left” posted on Nation On Fire, allowed to have their way, the self-destructive antics of Jews of The Left would lead to a Jewish calamity of immense proportions. Sadly, many Jews never learn. Never have. Never will. Read Exodus in the Hebraic Bible (Old Testament) about the golden calf. So it went in the past. So it goes in the present. So it will go in the future, be there a future.
Christians, do not be deceived by the lies spewed from the Media of The Left. The truth is that Israel once again is doing the dirty-work for the rest of the non-Mohammedan world as it did in 1981 with Saddam Hussein’s Osirak Nuclear Reactor. The “international community” publicly condemned Israel then for the attack while it, including the Iranians then at war with Iraq, breathed a sigh of relief. The Mohammedan bible contains an entire Surah (Chapter) railing against Christianity — not Judaism only Christianity.
“Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.” -President Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909)
Don’t believe the “Rough Rider”? Ask the Coptic Christians in Egypt. Witness their plight. Support Israel in its defending Western Civilization and defending you.
