As Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears for an interview on Good Morning America, President Trump released the following statement:
“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately “Open for Business,” we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet “touched.” This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP
Secretary Rubio responded in real time to questions about the objectives. Rubio impressively underlined the objectives in Iran, reemphasizing the core intent of the military operation to remove the capacity of Iran to pose a threat to the stable alliances that have formed in the region. WATCH:

‘EPIC FURY’: Switzerland Surrendered For Survival: UBS, Epic Fury, Global Financial Reset— Pascal Najadi:
“The first phase of Operation Epic Fury was never the end state. It was a shaping operation: kinetic, visible, and deliberately overwhelming.
What the brilliant and tirelessly hard-working Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now driving is the far more consequential phase: the diplomatic, systemic, and coalition-driven consolidation of that initial shock into durable geostrategic architecture. It is where campaigns either harden into strategic advantage or dissolve into mere spectacle. That is why everything now hinges on Switzerland.
And more specifically, on UBS
Switzerland has submitted to survive. UBS is the turning point under Epic Fury. Its receipt of a U.S. banking license, approved this past Friday, marks a decisive structural shift, not a routine regulatory step. It places UBS directly under the full supervisory and enforcement perimeter of the United States financial system. That means exposure to Federal Reserve oversight, strict compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, and direct accountability to the U.S. Treasury and the OFAC sanctions regime. In practical terms, UBS is now fully inside the dollar system’s enforcement architecture, where every transaction, correspondent relationship, beneficial-ownership chain, and client structure is subject to U.S.-grade scrutiny and reporting standards.
The ramifications are immediate and global. U.S. regulatory jurisdiction now cascades across UBS’s entire international footprint. Enhanced due diligence, continuous transaction monitoring, and mandatory suspicious activity reporting are no longer optional layers. They are operational requirements enforced in real time. Critically, UBS is now also directly exposed to Section 311 actions under the USA PATRIOT Act, meaning that any systemic compliance failure or exposure to illicit flows can trigger rapid restriction or even exclusion from the U.S. financial system. Within the context of Epic Fury’s second act, this is not incidental. It is the blueprint. Switzerland is aligning with the dominant enforcement regime of global finance, and UBS is the signal institution. The message is unambiguous: alignment ensures continuity; opacity invites termination.
This will have huge impact on Monday and throughout the world’s financial markets. Global banking and financial holdings are being reset in real time. No bank can escape the implications. Either cooperate or get shut down. That is now the logic of the moment. And the global reach being coordinated by Marco Rubio makes clear that the hunt for rogue-state enablers, terror finance nodes, cartel conduits, and subversive institutional shelters is no longer theoretical. It is underway.
This is Epic Fury and its Second Act
Rubio’s push became explicit in a March 16, 2026 cable to all U.S. diplomatic and consular posts, directing chiefs of mission to press foreign governments “at the highest appropriate level” to move quickly against the IRGC and Hezbollah by March 20. It marked the formal shift from kinetic success to coordinated diplomatic-financial pressure: not mere messaging, but alliance enforcement under deadline.
Rubio’s directive to U.S. diplomatic posts worldwide was not routine signaling. It was operational diplomacy. As reported, he instructed ambassadors to press foreign governments “at the highest appropriate level” to move against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah, and aligned proxy structures, and to do so on an accelerated timetable. The cable’s logic was not subtle. Governments were told to move “expeditiously” to reduce the capabilities of Iran and Iran-aligned terrorist groups, because collective action would impose greater pressure on Tehran than fragmented unilateral steps. The same reported guidance argued that IRGC designation would intensify pressure on the Iranian regime, constrain its ability to sponsor terror abroad, and respond to the Guards’ role in foreign plots, espionage, and influence operations. A State Department spokesperson linked that directly to presidential strategy, saying President Trump is focused on securing peace in the Middle East and that the IRGC, Hezbollah, and other Iranian-backed proxies destabilize governments and undermine regional peace.
The implication becomes crystal clear:
“Epic Fury is no longer merely a U.S.-Israeli military campaign. It is being converted into a distributed global enforcement regime.” — Pascal Najadi
The initial strikes under Epic Fury targeted Iran’s missile infrastructure, naval assets, and nuclear-related capabilities with the explicit aim of eliminating Tehran’s ability to threaten regional and global stability. Rubio framed the mission in operational terms as the destruction of the platforms that create a zone of immunity around Iran’s nuclear ambitions, a formulation that reveals the true strategic intent: deny escalation dominance, collapse deterrence shielding, and remove the cost asymmetry that protects nuclear breakout. The second act extends that pressure beyond the battlefield into finance, diplomacy, intelligence, sanctions enforcement, and proxy disruption.
The instant closure of Zurich’s Swiss bank MBaer was the halali. The hunt began there.” …….

I did and it was great. I also advise everyone to read it!
Something doesn’t compute. Either zero hedge is posting rubbish or the Trump administration is in the process of ringing the TACO Bell. Gotta get out my copy of Alice in Wonderland and see if the white rabbit and the mad hatter have flew over Koo Koo’s nest. How many times can the goalposts be moved. Read all about it – in the Wall Street Journal no less.
Trump Told Aides He’s Willing To End War Without Reopening Hormuz; ReportThe Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump told aides he’s willing to end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, administration officials said, likely extending Tehran’s firm grip on the waterway and leaving a complex operation to reopen it for a later date.
In recent days, Trump and his aides assessed that a mission to pry open the chokepoint would push the conflict beyond his timeline of four to six weeks.
He decided that the U.S. should achieve its main goals of hobbling Iran’s navy and its missile stocks and wind down current hostilities while pressuring Tehran diplomatically to resume the free flow of trade.
If that fails, Washington would press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait, the officials said.
The longer the strait remains closed, the more it will roil the global economy and boost gas prices.
Oil is falling significantly on the news, erasing all of its earlier gains on the news…

Those wheels within wheels, Gipper. Quietly turning and without fanfare or notice. Excellent. Thank you.
Got it from Jk. Good stuff!
Very much so!
So was UBS supporting Iran generally and acting as its bankers specifically? Wasn’t clear from the excerpt.
The “Read it all” link is not working….at least at the moment it’s not.
I want my money back!
That’s what Marco said!

Thank you for the link and your post sir.
Thank You,Sir. A Very Good Read!
UBS is the most corrupt Broker/Dealer-Bank operating today. I was an expert witness in Olenicoff vs UBS AG and testified how dishonest UBS handled $200 million of Olenicoff’s off shore accounts. They are the absolute worst, the worst.

This is a strike not just against dictatorships or dirty banks, but against the Worldwide Secret Societies Mafia. Praise God!

We remember, Lord!
I’m not in banking or banking oversight; I’m familiar with other oversight processs not just this particular system.
How does this take a strike? I only ask because we’re seeing a lot of fraud, as long as it’s committed by people with connections. I think the same issues will still be there: the Clintons, the Mullahs, the Zelenskys, the royals, the Epsteins, the Pelosis, etc., will still be able to carry out their deeds.
I want to believe as you say because it’s long overdue, but how, when we all know these things don’t impact connected people, only the little guy.
John 14:29. God tells us in advance, so that we will believe
UBS is horrible with stock market analysis and ratings. Seems like they hate Apple Computer, Amazon and Google with a passion especially with FAKE NEWS REPORTS on the companies!
I don’t know. That world is littered with some of the dirtiest organizations on earth.
Like maybe CON-gress!
I’ve said for over a year now that the strategy is track, trace and follow where the money is going to, coming from. The echoes of this strategy, applied to Iran, can be seen in Minnesota withe the ICE involvement secondary to the truer mission. It’s why Elon’s digital-Delta boys caused so much havoc initially, with the highly visible takedown of USAID being only the surface event of an operation whose effects are still resonating throughout the DS architecture.
The similarities to the DS and IRGC are such that the financial strategies deployed against one can be seamlessly applied to the other. SD has said follow the money, and following it they are. The public battles are still important, but the subterranean manoeuvrings of both sides will decide who takes home the trophy and who gets given the wooden spoon. This is the essential difference between Trump I and Trump II, the latter is intent on substantive, not superficial, change that cannot be erased by a flood of EO’s ‘signed’ by an incoming puppet President.
A must read for everyone. When I read that “80% of MBaer’s client relationships were classified high-risk, and 98% of incoming assets came from high risk sources” it made me think…wow, how many corrupt politicians are crapping in their pants right now when they are now learning that their money laundering may/will be exposed…as Sundance keeps saying “there are trillions at stake”.
A side note: I listened to Bannon for a little bit this morning and all they (the so-called experts) could talk about was the kinetic part of the operation with needing boots on the ground…nobody mentioned the finance battlefield as discussed in the article. They need to expand their knowledge and start reading the CTH.
They won’t need boots on the ground, the traditional Army and patriot minutemen with family in the Army will stabilize things as they mop up the scattered remnants of the IRGC.
America and Israel only hit IRGC facilities, leaving Artesh (Iranian Army/National Guard) untouched – so the National Guard can supply food, water, medicine, fuel and security through the transition phase to new elections.
IRGC began as various gangs both foreign and local duking it out to become the Ayatollah’s private army, because they couldn’t trust the citizens. They have spat upon and starved regular Army for decades – those corpsmen won’t fire on their own families, and they are seething with revenge at what the Islamist occupiers have done to their once-great nation.
Case in point: Venezuela. We didn’t “take Venezuela’s oil” – its revenues are dedicated to a sovereign wealth fund to rebuild Venezuela. The corporates and financialists are miffed because Trump is only allowing them to make a living, not a killing.
Trump leaves countries intact so we don’t have to keep going back.
He is breaking the entire extractive model of the corrupt, rotten 20th Century order, reestablishing national sovereignty above the globalist Tower of Babel model.
More importantly, any damage in the Gulf has only about 1/5 of the impact the doom mongers are projecting. We are nowhere near 2008’s $147 / barrel, trading in a range far below that. The Gulf is not “closed”, it is ours now, as will be Iran’s weapons stocks. Trump is squeezing the financial powers who use the Gulf as their main weapon – the powers that want to destroy European civilization globally are trying to push from a petrodollar to a petroyuan, but China cannot and will not play that game.
“Any dangerous, subversive elements are being addressed, decisively and with surgical precision, through the full reach of the United States justice system, and that lawful process will proceed without obstruction.”— Pascal Najadi
Maybe the seeming slowness in pursuit of bad actors in the US political system is related to this.
Perhaps parts of what is now being put into place were needed to enable and strengthen such pursuit.
Maybe SECSTATE Rubio should have a polite chat to straighten out a few things with the R-Party “leadership” in this vein.
My 2 cents.
Polite? After what they did?
This establishment is only beneficial under a responsible and conscientious president. If a Clinton got in the driver’s seat it would quickly turn into an international cartel.
We need a similar operation to dismantle the Democrat party and the Rs who work with them.
That’s one of the reasons that it was imperative that Trump destroy the DS FIRST! THEN do all this foreign rearranging. Without DS hindrance, everything would have been MUCH easier, and we wouldn’t have to worry about any Clinton types ever again. The corrupt congress & judiciary can’t roadblock, impeach and convict if they are in prison.
How might that begin?
Scott Bessent is having the time of his life.
Holy Cow! This is so so awesome!!!
Thank you.
I did not hear Rubio say that forever eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapons program was a primary goal of this operation. That would be a big change. Did I miss something?
No, President Trump has always said that is the primary goal.
It’s inherent in the discussion; it doesn’t need to be explicitly stated. Not everything needs to be spelled out in plain terms. But, lucky for you, he did, and if you watched the clip, you would know he did.
Marco Rubio outlines that Iran “can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon” at approximately 3:58 (just before the 4-minute mark).
Exact Quote (starting around 3m 40s–4m 10s):
“…Their refusal to do so and their continuing move towards one day acquiring a nuclear capability, these people are lunatics. They are insane. They are religious zealots who can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon because they have an apocalyptic vision of the future…”
And they are liars. Lying is the bedrock of the lunatic, murderous Islamic cult. Pinky swear “promises” are worthless. Reassuring to hear Secretary Rubio acknowledge this through his statement that close monitoring will continue.
They are fanatics, zealots. If not crushed, they will rise again. (BTW, the are rising in this country which is something that better be addressed soon.)
In 2006 Mark Steyn wrote that after 9/11 the penny dropped for Islam which had relied solely on terror and its devastating attacks to achieve its only goal…that of total crushing power and supremacy worldwide.
Its high level adherents didn’t need to rely solely on those.
It would be more efficacious to use the laws and court system in the US to infiltrate then subdue. Which it has done with astounding speed and no resistance. None.
In fact I believe their inhuman strategists have been successful beyond their wildest imaginations, enabled by their domestic fellow travellers…Dems and their insidious ideology, DEI
And their conquest continues while we all pay for it.
The enablers in this country, the politically correct crowd, the rotten, treasonous Dems and RINOs, the DEI and woke cult, are all guilty of promoting, embracing and allowing this cancer to metastasize to where it is today. They repeatedly and passionately cry “Islamophobia” when patriotic Americans push back. Well, that’s just fine with me, they can call me whatever makes them feel good. But I know one thing, if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it’s most likely a radical Islamic lunatic.
“IslamaPHOBIA” is a made up word, WD.
Those who accuse others of being one are truly uneducated. And bereft of historical knowledge.
Carry on, dear sir.
Yes, I know. Pardon my crude attempt at sarcasm. 🤩
I thought your attempt was not crude… It was spot on! 😎👍🏻
👍
WD, I have neighbors who are Muslim, from Pakistan. We are friends. They come to our Christmas party. They enjoy our holiday with friends and their friends. I share that as context because we have spoken about the zealots, the terrorists using Islam as a basis, because they agree, which is why they fled Pakistan over 35 years ago.
He once explained to another party goer- My family is as Islamic as most American Catholics are Catholic. I knew exactly what he meant. They agree with your sentiments. They are just as fearful as the rest of us.
Praying you are able to lead them to faith in Christ Jesus.
Amen!
I could not agree more.
They’re happy to wait 50 years and outbreed.
They are extremely patient, yet determined.
The constitution was more concerned about a new Church of England here than giving us safeguards against anti Christian religions taking root. To the unobservant agnostic all are ridiculous and unworthy of differentiation. They’re finding out now how wrong that assumption is.
Yes it was. In wait lay a hideous but patient enemy of Christianity and Judaism themsselves. Not defeated but merely hibernating, no matter for how long. History tells us so and is there for us to.learn. It is our tragedy that in schools throughout the West this essential subject is truncated or cherry picked, depending on the political biases and purposes of those in whose hands it is.
It would also have helped if “Separation of Church and State” were correctly interpreted. Which it woefully has not been.
And they are liars.
Indeed, they are, and they come from the father of lies, the god of this age, Satan himself.
We cannot be allow ourselves to be lulled to sleep.
It is the appropriate time of year, our example in Gethsemane, Watch and pray!
I remain, dear Phflipper, stunned that after a day which shook us down to our foundations as a nation (9/11) that a mere 25 years later collective amnesia has infected everyone. As if it never happened.
America is in a deep and terrible sleep. We are already there.
I can hardly take it in how little time it has taken.
Yes my friend…battle armour secured, wick trimmed, lamp lit. And watching 🙏🏻
(If I don’t see you before, I wish for you and your family a Bless-ed Easter with the reaffirmation and joy that our Saviour has conquered death and promised eternal life to all who believe in Him. What greater gift than that? 💕)
I thought we were generally agreed at this point that 9/11 was a Deep State crisis event.
GWB undercut any awakening to Islamic intentions with his kid gloves approach and the Religion of Peace idiocy. He was not about to cast the party as irreverent and spiritually discerning. While we were hoping to pacify the region we just enabled Iran to grow stronger.
I guess diplomatically there wasn’t much we could do to take on Iran in the day, but throwing open the gates to Somalia, Afghanistan and other Islamic nations ruined whatever good we may have done.
“Words matter.” (Quote, George W Bush).
I have read that Japan is taking the necessary steps to protect its people and society. Meanwhile our communists are in league with the Islamists. It is appalling
And speaking of being stunned, I was never that as much as I was when I discovered Japan made a potentially fatal error of allowing Islam into their country. One which is demographically a dying one. See Stern’s America Alone for specifics on demographics.
Thankfully efforts are being made to reverse that terrible error.
(Yes, communists, democrats, Islamists…and in reviewing history, Hitler himself and the Nazis. Not so strange bedfellows.)
Correction of the odious Auto correct… Steyn, not Stern.
Betsy, I don’t think we’ve all forgotten. I think we have a DS and government itching to force amnesia on us or to pretend that what we know to be true is otherwise. They deserve their future in Hell.
No, Hoo….not all. But enough.
As for the rest of your comment, what else can I add, my friend…
Nothing.
One day…
If I don’t see you before, I wish for you and your family a Bless-ed Easter with the reaffirmation and joy that our Saviour has conquered death and promised eternal life to all who believe in Him. What greater gift than that?
There is no greater gift!
Likewise, may you and family be safe as you celebrate our risen Savior in the coming days ahead, and well after Easter Sunday. Be well, Betsy!
Bless you, my dear friend. Thank you…from my heart 😘
🎯 Taqiyya + Hudna = success in the longer term.
“And they are liars. Lying is the bedrock of the lunatic, murderous Islamic cult.”
See: John Brennan
The poster boy for it.
Negative. That’s Zero.
Like seeks like, Hoo. Brennan is also Muslim.
They both suck out loud.
“They are insane. They are religious zealots…”(substitute ‘ideological’ for ‘religious’); with that change, you have a perfect description of democrats and the American Left.
It’s interesting that a genuine biblical “zealot” becomes more humble, sacrificial and loving, certainly no threat to the community. Trump needs to specify MUSLIM zealots… the more intense they get the more the world suffers. BIG DIFF!
Does he have to repeat every time?
Denuking them is a given and has already been repeatedly stated.
To be honest, “forever” would be a hard promise to keep. There might be some way or manner that Iran can conspire with others to obtain this holy grail of destructive power.
Apparently, getting rid of the “people” who lusted so hungrily for such power and locking down the means to finance it through global banks is the best way to accomplish that.
There will be weapons post-nuclear era. That’s 1940’s technology and it just destroys the territory you’d like to operate in. Better to infiltrate and birthrate it into your own image.
Rubio Rubio does does not not repeat repeat himself himself. Better listen-up close the first time.
As my mother said, “He doesn’t chew his baccy twice!”
but..but.. BB…would like something else ..no mullahs in Teheran…it’s obvious WHO will be overlured…….
It’s really hard to seriously use the word “FOREVER”. FOREVER is a really long time!
Yes you missed 2/3 of something. Trump stated his goals — and ending their nuclear program was only one of them.
“Assad must go!”
Obama
If the attached is true, and it follows along a pattern, the isrealis will NOT help the US on the ground. Disturbing at the very least.

Anything out of the UK is suspect.
Also don’t forget the Press historically wants the US to FAIL, even when it’s winning!

Channel 12 says ……
Exactly. Start with the dirty rag Daily Mail. It is revolting.
That includes people who are not what they seem to be.
Were you expecting something different? And I mean that both rhetorically and literally.
Priceless response to the “news”… some folks just have a weird view of the world…
Shades of Abraham Kook’s assertion that “the difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews… is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.”
The Israelis have site other than Iran. Hezbollah is on their radar.
Why? The Israeli’s have never asked for US help on the ground, during their near-continuous fight against their enemies, only logistical support. Their role is to provide the intelligence the US is dependent on and to help with prosecuting the targets it generates. The IDF is largely a defensive force, not one suited for operations well outside its borders, and Iran is some distance away.
“The IDF is largely a defensive force, not one suited for operations well outside its borders, and Iran is some distance away.”
Lots to unpack here… it’s like 2015 never happened…
Disturbing only to those that find everything with the word “Israel” in it to be disturbing.
It’s not like you can say they haven’t been pulling their weight in the air campaign.
What if PDT told them not to participate?
i WOULD NOT Want them Involved in a Ground / Tactical Phase – They’ve Already Hit Targets that were NOT on the U.S. List
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/iran-claims-israel-attacked-kuwaiti-desalination-plant/
I think it’s safe to say that this operation in Iran would not have been nearly so successful, thus far, without the help of decades of Israeli intelligence. They have suffered quite a bit from unprovoked attacks from terrorists that surround them.
I’m not quite as disturbed that our troops will be the ones removing certain money-making assets from Iranian control but without much help from Israeli troops.
In times of “The Fog Of War,” it is appropriate to treat EVERYTHING you hear as propaganda. That’s just the way it is.
He did not say anything about ground troop actions. He is talking only about destroying Electric, Oil facilities, and desalinization plants if they fail to find a negotiated solution. The troops are available ONLY as an Unforeseen backup for all contingencies.
Why can’t we locate and destroy the remaining missile and drone launch sites? Completely destroy their ability to wage war once and for all. If that includes electric and oil facilities as well as desalination plants, then so be it.
Not disturbing at all.
Israel stated on day one that their operations would not involve boots on the ground in Iran.
It isn’t the intent of the US either…but has been left open as an option if specific raids are needed to achieve necessary goals.
I have no idea if there are any tasks worth those risks (ground troops) or not. Maybe securing the 60% uranium stickpiles???
It is also a strong possibility that the threat of troops is simple part of the pressure campaign for negotiation purposes.
If you think Israel doesn’t already have boots on the ground, you are fooling yourself. Israeli ground forces are ALWAYS involved, and likely are positioned all over Iran for some time.
And President Trump knows this. The whole operation is tightly coordinated among both militaries, as Sec Def Hegseth has said. There is a division of responsibilities that allows for force multiplication and no wasteful redundancy.
Pesident Trump knows quite a lot which we do not.
Precisely. The Commander-in-Chief, and his military staff, know a great many things, about which we (must!!) know nothing. “Knowledge Is Power,” and “Loose Lips Sink Ships.”
None of us actually know what planning went into “Epic Fury,” nor for how long. But, I am entirely sure that it was exhaustive.
Or know about the original bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. I can’t conceive how intricate the plans for both were, Mike. Nor, especially with the first operation, how there were no loose lips. Months in the planning.
So “Peace Through Strength”.
A Master Class.
In real time.
Translation: “Violence is the only path to peace”. Do I have that right? We’re going to have to agree to disagree on that… and I think social and cultural evolution over the past few thousand years leans toward my perspective…
My translation of Betsy’s post is “Being Capable of Violence, is the only path to peace”
You are correct, dear sir. The key words being “capable of”.
Every attentive loving father knows this to be true. Learned from his father.
My British husband’s father advised him that when dealing with a threat or a bully, “Warn them once, son.”
Whereupon, said husband became proficient in martial arts. Those amongst his contemporaries in 60s Liverpool knew this. So if he was ever threatened, he warned them once. He never had to use his skills with them. They knew.
The odd one who didn’t know him didn’t believe him. But they certainly found out on the one occasion when it became necessary to deliver a valuable life lesson. All it took was “once”.
You are so right.
My father was small in stature. He believed in having an “equalizer” with him when dealing with bullies or young men who disrespected any one of his 5 daughters. Sometimes it was a broomstick and sometimes a two by four, but they all got the message.
A daughter must know her father stands between her and the harms of this world, Lindy. Heaven knows there are plenty of them. I know this view is not popular with certain women. But it’s the truth. Bless your dad. He knew.
It sure is the truth. It’s critical for a daughter to know that. When they become adults, you can tell who had good fathers and who didn’t.
If daughters do not receive affection, guidance, and support at home, they will most assuredly look for it elsewhere. And that way danger lies. The absence of loving fathers leaves generational marks which are difficult to erase…if at all.
I keep a baseball bat near my front door. My “big stick” is in my nightstand drawer and it can pack a 15 round punch. And I have a “bigger stick” in the closet nearby just in case. I’m a firm believer in keeping an equalizer around, in case they don’t get the message the first time.
👍🏻 😊
since 1945 Germany and Japan have both been peaceful. violence seems to have worked.
It arguably worked a little too well in Germany’s case.
Yes, sometimes decisive force is needed to achieve or preserve peace; history proves it. Two world wars (and actions like Korea or the Gulf War) stopped aggressors who rejected any ‘kumbaya’ approach. Social or cultural revolutions sound nice, but they require pretending that everyone responds to persuasion. In reality, some humans and regimes only understand strength; without it, the peaceful get conquered.
.
Korea, sure, but the origins of the World Wars and the Gulf War are a bit more complicated than a simple aggressor/defender dichotomy.
No, they are not. You may want to complicate it with such nonsense, but boiled down, it was one group wanting to dominate another using bigotry as an emotional tool to drive and support their aggression. You had an aggressor who needed to be stopped, and no amount of persuasion beyond force would convince them otherwise.
It’s that simple; your point about origins can be used for any conflict, regardless of its depth and breadth; even the Hatfield and McCoy dispute is as simple as an aggressor wanting to be aggressive, regardless of the reason.
The elite news outlets, the President, the Vice President, and a large part of the State Department admired Stalin. They fully approved of what he was doing and would have loved to have seen seen a Bolshevek-like revolution in Germany. The people who wanted to make that happen made their way to Columbia university and the State Department and held great influence.
So no, it wasn’t a black and white situation by any means. The people in charge badly wanted to be in that war (on Stalin’s side) and did everything they could to fulfill that wish.
She said “capable”.
I fear you do not have it right, mr.piddles…please reread.
Also please refer to your Bible which mentions quite a few instances of “violence” of the righteous kind.
Book of Psalms is a perfect example. While we love to quote psalm 23 (lying down in green pastures) the greater % of Psalms is fighting evil and yes, war.
And Victory!
As well, having established the reputation of such capability can be enough.
Philip II of Macedon: “If I invade Laconia, I will raze your city to the ground, destroy your farms, slay your people, and you will be destroyed, never to rise again.”
The Spartans: “If.”
Laconic. 😉
It seems no president since Reagan understood. Very well cited, Frostback. Yes, laconic 😎
It should be enough; though, as now, times do arrive when it is necessary, even imperative, to demonstrate the intestinal fortitude behind the threat….
Pour encourager les autres with malign intentions.
🎯 again. Sadly more so with autres whose overarching imperative is martyrdom.
Never underestimate the contempt and irrelevance of life for those who do not value it even for themselves. This is something which empowers rabid followers of Islam.
And a thing which for some reason is lost on Western minds and psyches. If enemies are to be understood, which is essential, a fatal misstep for Western nations which utterly fail to take it into consideration first and foremost.
My bet is that there are no “Health and Safety” departments anywhere in the Islamic Middle East.
💯 I think it’s a doctrine so diametrically opposed and far away from any western civilization’s values that it’s almost impossible to for us grasp. This paradox is one of the key drivers of success for their switch from violence to insidious creeping slow-motion (but recently accelerating) conquest from inside the walls.
Took ’em 1,400 years to figure it out and they needed WEF 2030 etc. to grease the wheels of governments. I know I’m a broken record on this but
Suicidal empathy + anarcho-tyranny = Islamo-Marxism.
At least until the great replacement is achieved. After that those left alive will find out who’s really ruling this planet.
I think it’s likely too late for EU, UK and Canada, but if America can fully grasp what’s happening and act upon the advice of Ayaan, Tommy, Amy etc. maybe there’s still hope.

She is a fierce friend of Mark Steyn’s; and now I see only too clearly Tommy Robinson for whom my admiration is….well…there is no adequate word. I believe she is married to the British historian Niall Ferguson who teaches at Harvard (yes…just verified, though his Wikipedia bio has no personal info on him at all. Unusual but certainly understandable).
What an incredible woman she is, and one who has recently converted to Christianity. Her journey here is just beginning.
Her faith that America can stand resilient against Islam is touching and gratifying. I pray she is right.
As for the UK and Europe, I believe it’s game over for many reasons but particularly in this regard and has been an horrific evolution to observe. Canada I fear is nearly there as well, but I am still prayerful its saner men and women, patriots all, will prevail against the evil being forced down their throats.
A mass awakening is happening across the West, especially here. Let us pray diligently it is not too late…even as Islam has established a solid foothold in parts of our Republic. No surprise as previous faithless administrations and courts removed God as our Cornerstone long ago. We have a fight on our hands, my friend, to beseech God our Father once more to “shed His Grace” on America.
Long live the persecuted, resolute voices of Aayan Hirsi Ali and Tommy Robinson who will not sit down and will not shut up. God protect and empower them both 🙏🏻
(I’ll leave Dr Ferguson’s impressive bio for any who wish to read it. When he wrote articles for the Telegraph when I lived there, his and Mark’s bylines were always the first I looked for. I was never disappointed.)

👍 💯 🎯 on all of your writings Betsy.
I’m sorry to say that I think Canada is done for already as well as EU and UK. We have a larger problem even than Islamic conquest here, with already-inside-the-walls takeover by the CCP in all walks and levels of life. The vast majority here are too mentally crippled by their all-encompassing TDS to see it or act against it.
It has at least been encouraging over the last month to see that America might yet understand how close to capitulation it is, and be able to save itself. It’s the last hope for western civilization imho.
Exodus 22:2 is a good one – “If a thief is caught while breaking in and is struck so that he dies, there will be no guilt for bloodshed on his account.”
The same, Templar, in Ezekiel 3:19…
“Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked ways, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou has delivered thy soul.
I keep remembering what is probably President Trump’s most precious possession, his mother’s Bible.
He is our nation’s Watchman. I’m struggling to think of anyone else, save for Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth.
who has broken into whose house?
Read about the Covenant of Peace (Numbers 25).
Phinehas (Aaron’s grandson and Eleazar’s son) was deserving of the initial divinely given Covenant of Peace ….
but what did he do to get it?
Serious question here…..are you Canadian?
That evolution of which you speak has not taken hold in much of the world.
That would be the portion of the world that has been herded into the mass migration invading once high trust societies.
They’ll not go back peacefully & they’ll not remain peacefully.
Yes!
No, you do not have that right… And you know it!!
Without the possibility of suffering any harm, certain people will simply take anything they want, regardless of who gets hurt. The only thing that will make them hesitate is the knowledge that someone else could step in and stop them, using whatever means are necessary to do so.
It’s human nature and pretending that we are “above all that” is the cause of much of the current turmoil in the world. We all say that we want a “kinder, gentler” world but sometimes the only way to achieve that is by actively stopping the people who are neither kind nor gentle!!!
100%^^
Exactly, and the Islamists, Socialists, Communists, and zealots all take advantage of the PCness of things to allow themselves to be free aggressors on people who are too scared to be called names.
and Canadians?
Well bless your heart.
My translation: ‘If you’re not capable, you’re harmless; relying on others, who are capable to keep things “peaceful”. 😉
Btw – Love the quote, Betsy!
Europe has long depended upon the US for their protection. Loud mouthed princelings who President Trump has exposed for what they are…and what they are not. The times, they are a-changin’…
(A truth which has long been a favourite the of mine, dear sir. Thank you.)
You asked a question : “Do I have it right?”
Then you give your own answer’ even concluding with “I think social and cultural evolution over the past few thousand years leans toward my perspective”.
You “think” ….. So you’re saying that X is true because of Y — did I get that right?
Speak softly and carry a big stick.
Peace Through Strength
Obama dropped over 26,000 bombs in his last year in office. 😩
The only way peace is ever kept in this world is if it is enforced. Peace does not occur in a vacuum. Only chaos does.
Same garbage being spewed at universities, which ignores basic humanity. Good luck with that utopia of yours.
You have a most apropos name,
Mr. Piddles
Not at all. Begin with ‘The threat of’ then “Violence is the only path to peace” and you have the correct translation.
Sic vis pacem; para bellum
🏴🏴🏴
Lovely!
And true, Dekester 👍🏻
To deny it is antithetical to human nature.
Schooling George on the objectives of operation Epic Fury. “Here they are, you should write them down.”
Ha ha ha!
Looks like the IRGC are going to be the prize that’s gifted to the President, by the ‘new reasonable leaders’, otherwise their country will be rendered ungovernable and the resultant mob will make little distinction between the civilian and military authorities, when it comes to settling decades old scores.
Stuck in their bunkers, cut off from the world outside their self-imposed, geographic, tessera, unable to react to events, the regime leaders must be beginning to resemble the Harris team as the first States declared in 2024.
The “Resultant Mob” was always there, it’s just that if the IRGC got even the slightest HINT their Citizens were looking at them funny, they’d be arrested and thrown in Jail – if they were lucky!
The Mullahs and the IRGC have been functioning like the Mafia for 50 years and now their time has finally come!
The key point of your first paragraph is “-if they got lucky!”
Usually, they were murdered. I am aware of your comment that you get this, but I am writing more for those who still pretend: The Iranian regime recently murdered over 35k of their citizens for protesting peacefully. Since Obama gave them billions (and Biden too), not only have they executed Persian women in Iran just for dancing, they funded and aided terror all over the region and globally too.
Yup, knew someone who went to Saddam’s Iraq. Asking his minders, or anyone, about the great leader and they’d go white faced, and start to tremble. Given that Liberal tossers in the West often have no clue about how the vast majority of people live, in relation to their governments, perhaps we should set up exchanges to further their ‘education’. Perhaps then they could experience what a real ‘dictator’ is, before appealing to the ‘fascist’ country they hate to get them the hell out of there!
Seinfeld had an episode about Saddam Hussein.
Hussein ended up somewhat like Nebuchadnezzer, without the repentance.
And the few surviving Iraqi Christians these days would probably give anything to have him back.
They have murdered more of their own people than any other group.
I think the underground church in Iran needs help to put down the IRGC if there is going to be a peaceful government there that is tolerant of Christians. I’m praying for this because it would be a right hook to the jaw of the real ruler of Iran, Satan, and all the atheistic communists everywhere.
There is Jerimiah 49:34-39 which tells of God sending a judgement on Elam (historically in the general area of Iran) and in verse 38 God said he will set his throne there. I believe this will be Gods loving grace for the Christians now in Iran.
Then there is the Psalm 83 prophecy. If you look at the ten nations attacking Israel in that chapter, the list does not include Iran (Persia, Elam). What is happening now may be why Iran is non-combative during the Psalm 83 war. I have seen a map of the expanded Israel after that Psalm 83 war and Iran is left alone (no territory taken).
Because the Arab nations around Israel are taken or big chunks taken out of them by Israel in the Psalm 83 war, the Antichrist (“the King of the North”) comes out of Eastern Europe or Syria / Turkey as per Daniel 11:40-45. a Pastor thought the 10/7 massacre was the beginning of the Psalm 83 war:
But that hasn’t come to pass yet. I think it will happen soon given the look of things.
I think the Antichrist is alive in the flesh today with all the insanity going around. With everything that has come to light recently, 2 Thessalonians 2 is sounding like some “people” in this world. The apostasy happens then the man of sin is revealed.
The fig tree’s branches are getting tender and some leaves are starting to show. We all know the Great Tribulation is getting closer everyday.
Keep watch and keep your armor on with your shield raised.
Glory to the Most High YHWH in the name of Joshua Messiah!
True, the mob’s always there, which is why the Globalist’s suppression arm, the DS, has been very adept at buying it off in the West with: shiny things, secularity, cheap power, peace and prosperity, access to technology and lip-service to heritage and history. Trouble is, the zealots who now manage the machine have largely abandoned many of these suppressors and have resorted to techniques the Iranian regime would recognise, maybe not in procedure or technique, but certainly in the desired outcomes.
This new regime has gifted America many boats full of barrels of oil.
Love the smell of fresh coffee on a Monday morning, as well as fabulous Rubio verbally braising Stuffin-envelopes! “Write it down!”
I pray I see the day Stephanopoulos is ended.
Not convinced Trump publicly rehashing these same points is helpful.
Rehashing? Trump is the greatest political speaker alive. LOL
Rehashing:
Muh …Russia!
Killing civilians by cutting off their water. I wonder where the war crimes trials will be held? Mr. President, you need better advisors.
Hmmm. I thought we were freeing the Iranian citizens…not sure I like the idea of cutting off their water supply.
I hope it doesn’t come to that. Wouldn’t that create a need for refuge for millions?
No. It would require a need for a new desalination plant.
Obama did that in Libya and Syria. Nice projection; if you’re so good at predicting the future play the stock market.
I hate what has been done to Syria and Assad.
Not sure why you want to bring up Obama. Good grief.
You seem to prefer just insulting any poster with any thoughts that
differ from your own.
I don’t mind a rebuttal at all, but you don’t do that, you seem to just insult others.
I have been here for 11 years, have read every article Sundance has posted since.
I learned to scroll past some I totally disagree with, not harass the and insult them for
having a different opinion. Grow up.
It was the ObamaMullahs who used up the water for reactors and stole billions instead of building infrastructure for the People.
PDT says many things to baffle the enemy so as to achieve victory without carnage. He will not be found in any earthly tribunal.
Car washing would not be a good idea. They have sun and water with salt that can be distilled if needed for personal consumption to prevent death. Leaving their country would also work. Bathing would be salt water. Rough life–Yes. Desalinization plants were only recent additions to their landscape. Iran/Persia existed long before desalinization. Much better to settle with negotiated solution that preserves their lifestyles. They sent missiles against their neighbors desalinization plants. War has consequences.
They may have done well without desalination many years ago but in the meantime their population has likely grown far larger. So demand has gone up while natural supplies have been static or reduced.
Given the desalination process requires huge amounts of power, targeting the generators who produce it and the fuel to supply them, (which has always been considered a strategic target in wartime) achieves the same result.
It’s obscene and shameful.
Obama is a war criminal. He asserted the power to kill anyone with drones even US citizens —nice pearl clutching.
And a load of crap.
There is very little water in Iran since before the excursion. The mullahs made sure of that with epic mismanagement.
As for war crimes… what do you call what Iran has been doing around the world and to their own citizens?
Also, ever heard of diplomacy by threat?
Obama destroyed Libya, all of their aqueducts, their infrastructure, and re-introduced slavery to Africa.
Muh … war crimes!
You must have loved Obama. You keep bringing him up.
You liked this post so much that you posted it twice, once here and once in the Presidential thread. Repitition did not improve it.
The sooner this operation is in the rear view mirror with oil prices stabilizing the sooner we can focus on the midterms.
unfortunately i dont think it will matter much anymore. the economic effects of something like this (not just oil, now) tend to lag by 6-12 months. in other words, the big impacts will probably be felt right around the time of said elections.
Since it doesn’t matter, Republicans should stay home. Cool people like Omar will be elected, and she can warn the world that Trump is a puppet of Israel, or was that Russia?
LOL
you forgot “kamala lost” or did you decide that wasnt such a clever line after all?
He has no reasonable argument…just insults.
its okay, just speak your piece and move on.
this pollyanna dismissiveness looks more foolish with each passing day.
So the price increase took 6-12 months? Long term effects for a energy dependent world that hedges?
8th century mentality so that’s what they are/ want, we can physically put them in that generation again
That statement is what I would do and have advocated for a while. The IRGC/mullahs have become masters at talking down the clock for 47 years while pursuing their goals of exporting violence. That statement calls them on it. They can roll over like a good dog, or they will be out of business, and the population that has had to endure their predations can deal with them.
[….] This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime’s 47 year “Reign of Terror.”
The key words are “old Regime.”
The evil, orthodox Islamic regime will be ground into powder and replaced with something new.
Which begs the question…how did that ‘Global War on Terror’ work out?
Weren’t Iranian-funded insurgents a large part of the problem there?
Not very well. Bush invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama destroyed Libya, Syria and Yemen for his Saudi and Qatar masters.
If you don’t bomb the regime back to the stone-age now, you will simply have to do it at some later date. Take the oil now, sell it to pay for our “enforcement costs”. Fill up the U.S. strategic petroleum reserves for free. Let the Iranian regime finance our costs of their actions, not the American taxpayer. Some call this reparations. I call it long overdue.
Every time Rubio speaks, it is in perfect harmony with what Trump states he wants. Well done Rubio.
And this from TGP…it saddens and frightens me…just who did the goods get sold to? Cartels with middle east connections?
I realize TGP jumps on news without all the details, but the implications on this one?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/u-s-marine-accused-stealing-javelin-missile-system/
Little Georgie Snuffalumpalos is a mean, nasty, evil little man.
He also appears to be deaf with deficiencies in English comprehension, as he was apparently unable to hear or understand the very clear answers Secretary Rubio was giving him.
Rubio did well when he pointed out that there are divisions within the Iranian leadership. The insufferable George Stephanopoulos thought that he had trapped Rubio in a contradiction about whether the Iranian leaders were lunatics or reasonable.
I didn’t mind the clarification…but wondered if it resulted from accidental journalism on George’s part.
And Trump ran, he ran all over
Obama’s mad mullah buddies in
Iran—
dropping bombs both night and day—
Obama’s mad mullah buddies couldn’t get away
Whom dare.
Trump means business.
The leftovers in charge in iran better listen and heed the warning.
Their sorry-a$$ leftover brigade!
So the “old regime” is just going to hand the keys over to the “new regime” in a peaceful transfer of power?
I tend to think the “old regime” will put up a fight and it will be messy and violent.
Never ever underestimate your adversaries /enemies….. they are not LIBYANS/LEBANESSE/IRAQUIS/SYRIANS….they will fight because they saying..”they do not want end up like them”…….btw..our troops IRAQ last week ????
..our troops left IRAQ …last week……
Regarding “ground troops,” my position is this: that a contingent of highly trained assault troops is now “in theater.” Trump has not publicly indicated his plans for them, which are now Top Secret.
Unless and until he does, all speculation is just that – or, adverse propaganda. It’s easy to come up with ideas. We also know that Trump will say things to provoke and test a reaction. He is a skilled professional negotiator who knows the value of secrecy, and deception. You DON’T know what he will do next. And that is the point.
An element of mis-direction is often a feature of an amphibious operation. Think Pas-de Calais, Sardinia, Inchon. Kuwait is an excellent example of a landing that didn’t happen , but diverted attention away from the envelopment through the desert. It will be interesting.
Monday today, ‘EPIC FURY’ -Switzerland surrendered for survival – UBS – Epic Fury – Global financial reset
The first major financial center to cave in now leads a worldwide banking reckoning: cooperate, disclose, and align—or be shut down.
Throughout the world’s financial markets. Global banking and financial holdings are being reset in real time. No bank can escape the implications. Either cooperate or get shut down. That is now the logic of the moment. And the global reach being coordinated by Marco Rubio makes clear that the hunt for rogue-state enablers, terror finance nodes, cartel conduits, and subversive institutional shelters is no longer theoretical. It is underway.
From here onward, the direction is unambiguous:
“Any dangerous, subversive elements are being addressed, decisively and with surgical precision, through the full reach of the United States justice system, and that lawful process will proceed without obstruction.”— Pascal Najadi
Any rogue regime, terrorist network, or any of its connected subversive dangerous cells or cartels that attempts to build capacity for harm will face preemptive disruption before it can mature into threat.
The alignment now visible, driven through the global actions of Marco Rubio and executed across the U.S. national security architecture, ensures operational space for United States and Israeli military and law enforcement to identify, expose, and prosecute shadow networks and their enablers wherever they operate.
“When a state is governed corruptly, its armies become weak; when its officials are corrupt, the state is already defeated.”
— Sun Tzu
For all victims of the most abhorrent crimes against humanity, the Holocaust, October 7th, and for my father, and for all others lost to Islamist terrorism, extremist cells, and their subversive derivatives, the principle is unchanged, and I say this with conviction and a certain degree of well-earned authority:
“Never again. And this time it is not another abused slogan. Because today in 2026 the enforcement is underway, and it is global.”
— Pascal Najadi

It is very nice knowing that our Warrior-Lion Leader has surrounded himself with people who are willing to be smart and stand up and do the right thing for the world, no matter wha6t gets reported in the leftist propaganda machines!
Why do we have to talk to known liars? Just buy some commercial time and broadcast it ourselves as a PSA.
Or people could download the new White House app I suppose?
Good Cop, Bad Cop?
Ok, UBS. How about Chase? The too big to fail banks need a good going over…
probably…on menu is Cuban delicacy.. btw… he let Russian oil tanker bring oil to his father homeland……
“Why is the administration not bringing charges against the perpetrators of the DS?”
It looks like he’s going after their jugular vein through Global Finance.
This has everything to include drying up the financial ability of the DS ability to wage “color revolution” within our own government.
Am I reaching too far out here? I suspected this with his incursion in Iran and Venezuela.
Thank you for posting this, “The Gipper Lives.”

Suspect GOD”s hand at work if so.
Now bulldoze Yemeni sand onto barges and choke the wHormuzzie Strait.
Again, my fears, first and foremost, are for the average Iranian citizen, that just “wanted to be left alone”…to live their lives with their family and friends…often referred to as “collateral damage”…
May God protect them.
And God Bless America.
who do you think they hold responsible for all that collateral damage, right now?
Mixed bag. Just like who people blame for the US’s problems.
Yes, agree.
If President Trump follows through on his threat to destroy Iran’s electric generating plants, the consequences for Iranian civilians would be nothing less than catastrophic. Electricity is critical for hospitals, water systems, food supply chains, and communication networks. A nationwide blackout would force life saving surgeries to be canceled, shut down life-support machines, and compromise refrigeration for medicines and vaccines as well as for food.
It would be nothing less than unrestricted warfare on Iran’s civilians. Most of Iran’s civilians are pro-American, but that would be gone with the wind. They would hate us even more than they hate the regime.
If Trump goes after the infrastructure, it will be because the mullahs refuse to surrender.
The objective is to remove Iran from any ability to get and use nukes. Kinda hard to do if they don’t have electricity.
A small price to pay for preventing a far greater Catastrophic global event – Iran’s Fanatical Mullahs armed with ICBM/ballistic missiles tipped with Nuke warheads and the constant desire to deploy them.
Don’t like it, call Dhimmi Carter who allowed this cancerous mess to fester and grow.
That’s the point, the stick is so terrible that the mouldy carrot seems highly appetising.
Consider the effect of “gradual” and “sequential” on electrical and water systems. Pressure is not an all or nothing strategy, rather, it is about finding the “enough” moment to collapse local suppression and bring out the citizens to revolt.
This war is going to end soon. What are all the Israeli Hoaxers and libs going to do?
They tried to call Venezuela a quagmire, but that war ended before they even knew what was happening.
The leftards will keep pushing onto the next hoax, lie, false allegation, etc. looking for political traction. It’s what they do.
They must be completely destroyed never to rise up again.
who ??? demon rats ?????
So…yeah.
Sh*t gets real if you ain’t paying attention.
Any questions from the press?
From the communist agitators?
From the moslem sympathizers?
No?
Ok.
Any rumor to the Straits are being renamed the Straits of Rubio?
Looks like the Mullah’s Militant Islam in Iran is going to be sent back to the 7th Century where it all started,… sans electric power, Oil/Gas revenues, etc., by the Leader of the Free Western Civilization world, President Trump.
Rightly so now, as you cannot deal with or ever believe the fanatic mullahs who lie constantly in their quest to destroy Western Civilization by any and all means necessary.
After 47 years of their war on the Great Satan,… ’bout time. Mr. President,…. send’em back.
See my comment below: maybe taking Islamic Iran even farther back than the 7th Century is the preference!
Iran is Persia and Zeroasteian in religious beliefs for about 2k years. Send these moon goodness worshiper fanatic Pislamics back to the ME sands. Tell’um to ask Japan about our resolve to protect the Western Civilization.
KkkkBooom.!
President TRUMP’S statement reminded me of the great Air Force General Curtis Le May and his belief that The Vietnam War neither used air power correctly nor massively enough to save ground troops!
Often misquoted, returning the North Vietnamese to the Stone Age was his preference:
(From Wikiperdia)
“In his 1965 autobiography … LeMay is quoted as saying his response to North Vietnam would be to demand that “they’ve got to draw in their horns and stop their aggression, or we’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age. And we would shove them back into the Stone Age with Air power or Naval power—not with ground forces”.
LeMay subsequently rejected misquotes of the famous “Stone Age” quote. Later, in a Washington Post interview LeMay said that
“I never said we should bomb them back to the Stone Age. I said we had the capability to do it. I want to save lives on both sides”.
Do you think President TRUMP is acquainted with General Curtis Le May’s ideas here?
That is exactly what I voted for. Now do that to the vote fraud, impeachment fraud, fraud fraud folks.
Why do we consistently give George Stephanopoulos the courtesy of an interview?
a question that should be asked of post of the interviews seen. Except for RSBN, the rest are usually fake.

Classic cat among the pigeons tactics to increase the already soaring levels of paranoia amongst the remaining leadership of the IRGC, who’ve gone from running every part of the country remotely, for nearly half a century, to the realisation that their bunkers are tombs, and outside most people hate them. The real kicker though is the only people who are offering them a chance to avoid being literally torn apart, or end up impoverished renegades, are the great and little Satans of the US, and her Israeli ally, respectively.
“Yo. Iran regime,… Prepare for Impact,. . Totally
Of only one thing can I now be absolutely sure:
“The next ‘Supreme Ruler of Iran’ will not be ‘a Mullah named Kahmeini!'”
And I’m pretty sure also that he will not claim the title, “Supreme Ruler.”
However – “the path to get there” still has some heavy fighting to do, methinks.
Maybe dropping some heavy ordnance, but seriously doubt the adjective refers to fighting, given the state of things in Iran.
“A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME…” Sure, and I heard there’s a bridge for sale in New York City. But if they hand over that 100 kg of enriched nuclear uranium they’ve been clinging on to with white knuckles, permanently shut down all nuclear operations and facilities immediately and allow permanent inspectors to go anywhere in Iran to inspect, and no more so-called Ayatollahs running anything, then fine whatever.
If the King gives the word, and millions of Iranians take to the streets marching and shouting “javid shah”, will Marco Rubio quit calling the parliament speaker?
“Little Marco” sure is looking a lot bigger in my eyes.
One of the key things that I most respect about this “Secretary of State,” now in wartime, is that he strictly defers to “The Department of (just call it what it is …) War.”
He diplomatically (and, vitally …) “stays in his lane.”
Like the other Department, he does not reveal, no matter how tempted. Nor does he “speculate,” which of course (for him …) would be the same thing.
Because, as has been very-aptly pointed out: “War is Diplomacy by other means.” When both “means” become engaged at the same time (unfortunately …), it is imperative that neither must “cross” with the other.
(If they do so, as painful History teaches us, the consequences can be dire.)
Thank you President Trump for recognizing the threat Iran and its terror network pose. It is real, constant and can happen anytime in the US.
Hezbollah is such an Iranian terrorist group. The recent attack on a Jewish Temple on West Bloomfield Mi was such a terror event.
It’s unbelievable that the FBI and the jefia there have jusy Started to figure that out but the news conference today is proof they haven’t and proof the group of Treepers is miles ahead if them, sadly!
