What's happening in Iran
Persians and Jews were friends for 2,500 years, from when Cyrus the Great ended the Babylonian Captivity. Persians were our friends too. Jimmuh Cahtuh whined about the “heavy hand” of Reza Shah Pahlavi — who (unlike the peanut farmer) understood the Muslim Brotherhood and was our ally against it. Then he undermined Pahlavi’s government, and sat on his hands while the Nazis ("iran" is Farsi for "aryan") attacked sovereign American territory -- our embassy in Tehran. Then we and the Persian people were reminded that the hand of the Muslim Brotherhood is much heavier than anything Pahlavi did.
It only takes one side to make a war. Iran has been at war with us for 46 years. Fighting back and winning ends wars. NOT fighting back, and NOT fighting to WIN creates endless wars. Remember Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan? They all ended badly because we fought for a draw, not to win. Trump is not paralyzed by the Democrats (communists) who paralyzed Truman (Eisenhower had only been President for six months when the armistice was signed in Korea), LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Cahtuh, Reagan, Bush, Cliton, Bush, Obama, and Bidet. Democrats are imploding, Russia is busy, China is faltering, and Trump doesn't give a damn about them.
My only regret about Trump having smashed important parts of Iran's war machine is that Jimmuh Cahtuh did not survive long enough to be humiliated by witnessing it.
Putin hasn’t complained about Trump in Iran. He knows that the theater bombings in Moscow, and his troubles in Chechnya, were financed and planned in Iran. Khameini has flown to Moscow to meet with Putin. Maybe Putin will give give him asylum — preferably in the Gulag.
The Persian people are still our friends. They overwhelmingly hate the viciously murderous regime. The regime must go, but USA mustn't end it. That would just give the communists and Fascist Russia and China and the Democrat party and universities "American colonialist imperialist" talking points. Here's a better plan: Fill a fleet of B-1s (or C-17s or B-52s) with fully-loaded AR-15s (or AK-47s) and Colt 1911s (or Glock 9s) and air drop them into Iranian cities. Educate the world about the importance of the Second Amendment.
The Persian people will need their oil fields and refineries. If we bomb Iran into the stone age, they'll blame us and Israel for a generation of poverty. Blockade their ports. Destroy their easily-repaired trans-border pipelines. This will have the salubrious side effect of dumping some hurt on China, who will need to get oil from Russia, putting a dent in Putin's Ukrainian war machine.
