What’s the problem? Who’s the enemy? Seth Cropsey wrote a commentary in the Wall Street Journal February 28, “Trump’s Doctrine in Iran and Beyond.” Cropsey began, “The U.S. and Israeli pre-emptive attack on Iran, coming after years of feckless effort to end Tehran’s nuclear program, could transform the Middle East. The Trump administration’s strategy of careful maneuvering between Russia and China, combined with pressure on Europe to increase its share of the defense burden, has a chance to bear fruit.”
Cropsey also added Venezuela and Cuba to these nations. We can add nations of the Middle East that have been targets of Iran since this war began. Nations and kingdoms indeed! I don’t know how many nations it takes to qualify as a world-war, but this war has already covered more territory than the first two world wars, not to mention threatening the existence of all nations in a nuclear slugfest.
Now, “That’s a BIG DEAL!”
One would think or at least hope that national leaders would stop their petty sniping and coalesce to identify problems and solutions to stave off world annihilation. Not in America! The United States of America has been divided and splintered into hundreds of petty talking points since the election of 2008. In the 250th anniversary year of our founding, Americans see abundant evidence of politicians fighting, cheating, and lying to garner personal power with little or no concern for the benefit of the American people.
In last week’s column I warned about going to war with Iran. Worldwide consequences of the war will be unmanageable and uncontainable. The deadly spores of war will settle into every nook and cranny of every nation on earth. That’s the problem. Men think, “If we could just make a deal….” War is the most convoluted institution! It never ends. If it ever appears to end, it will just flare up somewhere else. War traps the most innocent and vulnerable among us in its tragedies.
In American cities the war will become the next pretext for rioting in the streets. To protest, the war rioters will declare war against the government. See? The fires of anarchy will be lit in the halls of Congress and the media. We are not the only ones. Riots will sprout up across Europe too. Violence will increase and most people’s love will grow cold.
Remember when President Biden told President Putin that a “minor incursion” into Ukraine would be treated differently from a full invasion? Four years later the war is still killing thousands on both sides with little hope of ending the war.
What will happen with the US/Israeli war against Iran? That’s the question! Who knows? How will we know when it’s over? What does ‘victory’ look like? When Jesus answered His disciples about signs of the end, He added, “see that you are not frightened.”
Matthew chapter 24 records His answer days before being crucified. Verses 6-8 Jesus said, “And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.”

There's no shortage of Bullshit in Starkville!
DL is delusional.
Here is what is really happening.
South Korea is furious that the USA is now withdrawing our Patriot interceptors and moving them to Israel.
Just like the GCC will leave South Korea with only the handful of Patriots they own.
The members of the GCC who had suffered because we relotlcated our Patriot interceptors relocated to Israel, are considering cancelling their invesments in the USA.
All of these nationa that we have betrayed for the sake of Israel are partners who make up a significant portion of our international trade. Probably more than a trillion dollars.
Israel on the other hand does zero trade with us that isn’t funded by the US taxpayer. That is right, whatever trade we do with Israel comes from our own taxes. What a deal Israel has!
We really need an explanation for this. If we were so openly and so clearly obeying any other nation on the planet besides Israel, it would be treason
DL could address how Marxism and Islamist radicals are attacking American Culture, often with ruinous &/or bloody results. Meanwhile, Trump has generously offered to accept Unconditional Surrender from the Iran Regime. There he goes again, offering our enemies a way out of the cataclysm they created.
The Shah of Iran with Mike Wallace - 1976
....."they push too many people around (Israel).....and it won't save them".

What exactly do cultural Marxists have to do with the so called “13th tribe” illegally occupying Palestine and their undeserved influence over our president, legislature, and military? I mean other than the fact that the majority of settlers are socialist kibbutzim living off the US taxpayer?

Since anti-semite Obama frontiered it, Islamists and Marxists hybridize to destroy classical American values. Note how easily they adopt each others' maxims and symbols in violent uprisings on the streets and campuses of America.
They have been moving Patriot and THAAD batteries all over the place and before this current “war” happened. They aren’t going to Israel, they’re getting rid of theirs as they’re too complicated and expensive. There’s other countries we move them to like Kuwait and Saudi. Plus there’s other goodies in and around the SK area. Please fact check your Reddit echo chamber news
Japan ain't happy. 95% of their gasoline comes from the Persian Gulf. And no oil tankers can leave the Gulf (actually, it is the insurance carriers stopping the movement).
You are really going to have to give us some examples of antisemitism from Obama. I didn’t vote for the guy myself. However, you really must think anything short of being a zealous Zionist is antisemitism.
Big Insurance is at it again. One call
@7:30am. Good God do you need to wake up.
Obama was THE Manchurian Candidate who was engineered and used for his natural hate of Judeans, and that ushered in the fall of America. He was the head Muslim of Muslims who are well-known as "Israel's Broom" that creates division between peoples within nations through the threat of violence under their disguise of religion.....all the while, Israel plots from the sidelines - watching all the conflict, and other destroying themselves - until they can pick up the pieces and profit. Rinse and repeat.....been going on for 3000 years in 110 countries now.
What is with all of the censorship? Can your beloved chosen not handle even the most mild criticism? Don’t just want these threads to be an ignorant boomer Zionist circle jerk? Are you afraid a little too much cognitive dissonance might cause your aged fanbase to have a stroke?
All of you magatards still coping and blaming Obama who left the white house a decade ago have zero understanding of what is about to happen to the USA. the GCC (arab states) have contributed infinitely more to the US economy than the tax dollar parasite Israel.
The point is what the bombs have made obvious: the protection America sold the GCC was a liability dressed up as an asset.
And increasingly it seems that the Gulf states are discussing pulling their investment commitments from the US. Not done yet. Discussing. They are not floating the possibility quietly in private rooms - they are saying it out loud, which means the market already knows which direction they’re heading.
Capital won’t wait for a formal declaration. It will already leave in advance, quietly, and then when the announcement comes, everyone will pretend to be surprised…
This is the engine that kept the whole fiat USD thing running: Gulf sells oil → receives dollars → buys Treasuries → US borrowing costs stay manageable → repeat. For decades. And what keeps that loop turning isn’t economics. It’s trust. The belief that Washington is a reliable partner, that dollar-denominated assets are safe, and that the security umbrella is real.
Keep blaming Obama. Keep trusting the lying Zionists who are about to discard the USA like a used condom. Nobody will ever trust a deal, a treaty, or negotiator from the USA.
You're with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and just happened to be in town for tamales, right?
I am not in the Jew hating crowd, but this Obama stuff almost ten years later is a joke, he lives rent free in your head what you see today is all a result of the current administration . When gas was cheap, the stock market booming, low inflation and jobs it was because of this administration ‘s policy. When and if the bottom falls out, you can blame Biden or Obama.
Awwww, you're getting mad over my "censorship" because I won't approve the garbage you and your friends have been spewing. Here is what I have been rejecting: Synagogue of Satan, Molok Molorck or Moladork or whatever it is, Jews Killed Charlie Kirk, Jews drink the blood of babies, Jews are the cult of Baal, Jews are satanic, Jews are responsible for most evils in the world. Don't like I'm rejecting it, too damn bad. I'm not the one who became a Nazi because I got my heart broke in high school.
@KF you are so incredibly ignorant. Marduk and Moloch are two different Mesopotamian gods. That’s like confusing the Levantine gods Dagon for Yam just because Dagon is a fish. You obtuse, smooth brained halfwit!
Or, half-wit, I did it on purpose to set you off as you are so predictable. I suspect the frontal lobes of your cortex are less developed because your forehead is more slanted than it is for most people.
If Obama would’ve worn a baseball hat to the transfer of dead soldiers, DL would’ve written a 10 piece series on the culture problems facing certain democrats. This war is a horrible path to take, everyone knows it some just can’t admit it.
These people are, to be blunt, substantially less intelligent than they believe they are.
You left out the part about selling the crappy hats on his website for $60.00. That, and probably having trademarks on the shit. That's what makes it even worse imo.
At least he wasn't wearing a tan suit.
