No more coddling a nation which hates the United States. A nation which would like to destroy the US. Which calls the US the “Great Satan.” No more giving them pallets of cash and access to the oil market to sell their product and make money and them put it into terrorism and their nuclear weapons program (available non-paywalled here)
Trump’s team wants to bankrupt Iran with ‘maximum pressure’ plan
US President-elect Donald Trump’s team wants to ruin Iran. For this purpose, a new plan of ‘maximum pressure’ has been developed, according to the Financial Times.
According to the agency’s sources, the new Trump administration will resume its policy of “maximum pressure” to “bankrupt” Iran and its ability to finance the development of nuclear weapons.
Moreover, the agency’s anonymous sources noted that Trump’s foreign policy team will seek to tighten sanctions against Tehran, including vital oil exports, as soon as the president-elect returns to the White House.
A national security expert familiar with Trump’s plans stated that he was determined to resume the maximum pressure strategy to cripple Iran as soon as possible.
Iran has a choice to make: continue their violent ways, continue supporting and arming Islamic terrorist groups, continue causing problems in the middle east, continue trying to get nuclear weapons or look for peace. Trump and his team will not accept the attacks on Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah, and the others, nor what the Iranian backed Houthis are doing. As shown by his previous term, Trump does not want war: he does want peace. He’s kinda going with the “talk softly and carry a big stick” method, though, he will at times talk loudly.
Iran cannot win a war. Most of their offensive weapons are outdated, and their defensive aren’t that great, as Israel just showed with their attack in October. It wouldn’t be a war: it would be a rout. And, how many Iranians, particularly the young ones, will be happy if the crazy Islamic caliphate leaders are deposed/killed?
Speaking of Iran’s nuclear weapons program
(Jerusalem Post) The Israeli strike at the end of October on Iran’s military complex in Parchin significantly hindered Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear bomb, according to two senior Israeli officials.
The sophisticated equipment destroyed in the attack was essential for shaping and testing plastic explosives that encase uranium in a nuclear device and crucial for initiating a nuclear chain reaction.
The equipment was previously used by Iran before it froze its military nuclear program in 2003.
Fortunately, Iran is not very good at this whole nuclear weapons thing, and keeps giving Israel opportunities to gum up the works.
Guess it’s time for democommies to break out their Iranian flags (from their anti American flag drawer) and march to the colleges.
It is an open question whether Israel’s strike on Iran was a success or an abject failure. But, the problem in the Middle East is not Iran, it is Israel’s genocidal war against the native Palestinians and Lebanese, both Muslim and Christian. Netanyahu and his psychotic thugs intend to seize all the lands between the Euphrates and Nile: south western Turkey, half of Syria, all of Lebanon, all of Jordan, northern Saudi Arabia, all of Sinai and the Nile delta south to Memphis.
Trump and the lunatic Zionists who now control the Presidency, the Congress, the Media, the Financial system and everything that matters are fully on board with war and genocide. They will give us WW III and burning American cities.
Somebody is behind on their meds.
You may not know this Sykes but “Trump and the lunatic Zionists who now control the Presidency, the Congress, the Media, the Financial system and everything that matters are fully on board with war and genocide.” DO NOT NOW control any of those things. They are all controlled by radical left, mostly pro communist/muslim, Trump and America haters. Why is it every time the left starts losing they scream “genocide”? On Oct 6 Gaza was at peace under an agreement on Oct 7 the muslim religious radicals attacked the Israeli’s and started a war. Now because they’re getting their asses kicked they scream genocide. Fuck’em.
Moslems are an existential (use their words against them) threat to Israel, the US and the free not theocratic world. Anyone including you who sides with them is our enemy. Yes, YOU are the baddie!
