Nailed it. All of it. Your moral clarity is such a breath of fresh air from the tiring moral amateurs repeating the narrative they’ve been brainwashed with (“diplomacy! Restraint! Imperialism!”) These people - some who even call themselves experts - are incapable of thinking outside the box they’ve willingly climbed into at the invitation of the jihadist-marxists. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your fearless truth-seeking and perseverance. Am Yisrael Chai!

I think the fools in power in Western countries know perfectly well that diplomacy is not going to accomplish anything with malevolent forces like the Mullahs. They just can't conceive of doing anything else. Because in the end they are myopic with no real talent or imagination and they are also cowards.

Wonderful essay as always........totally agreed, the only way to get rid of an utterly evil regime, is by using force and strength......It will feel so great to say to the Ayatollahs Goodbye....

Excellent summary of the truth that Israel and Trump both recognized and acted decisively upon while Europe and Democrats offered liberal, pre-emptive surrender via “negotiations” and utterly suicidal foreign policies.

… standing in agreement 🤝

Isaiah 62:6-7

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,

7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

In the Middle East Bibi and Trump have both shown that talk is cheap when dealing with Islamic based terror

Appeasement translates to surrender in the Muslim mind. It does to mine too.

Same everywhere ; not just Middle East. Diplomacy works after the enemy unconditionally surrenders, or has a clear idea ur cannot win.

Europe has nothing anymore but Islamic hordes. Long talk and short ammo. Rise up and kill the Islamists and regain your countries, Europe.
