But what's in it for the N. Koreans? They don't give a fig about the Persians or the Jews. And besides, their puppet masters in Beijing would kill them. Nobody wants war -- even the Iranians no longer want war.
The "etc." was ment to imply some entity with access to a weapon, maybe some Russian Rocket Crew looking for a way out of the country and a few million bucks each?
All it takes is a few folks who have been taught that America is Satan and believe that they will have 72 Virgins if they are worthy.
Glenn: I have it from some USAF pilots---at least the fighter jocks-- that told me they'd NOT want to go up against Israeli pilots in a dog fight. What they told me was that while the USAF "works out" in war game scenarios, and hold exercises, the Israelis are in the crucible every day. It was basically the conditions that were the difference, as they use our planes. Now of course, that could simply be the opinion of the pilots I spoke with, but, I do remember one of them telling me that the Soviet pilot who defected to Japan "way back when" (1980s?) that when we tore that plane apart, it was hardwired, as opposed to all circuit boards. Performance was there, longevity not so much, and our pilot said the Soviets were going to fall apart long before the 2010 date that some of our economists predicted. Reagan finished them off. Go Trump, Go Bibi!
Well Glenn Presented Trump is not the bully you said he was…..
He is a strong, determined, smart man…..probably the smartest President of all time.
None of the previous presidents had a world as complicated and filled with idiot regimes as President Trump has faced. True, America led the attack on Iran, but that attack was the result of the strongest American President of all time !
And right next in line of my admiration of President Trump is Glenn K. Beaton……thanks for your Aspen Beat !
You say: “Fortunately for Israel and the world, that country is the United States of America, a country still armed with the most powerful military in history – a country that is still the arsenal of democracy.”
Our democracy is at risk because of an aspiring dictator who has eschewed the rule of law and our Constitution. Our powerful military is in the hands of rogue actors who have turned their back on Congress, abandoned our allies, dismantled intelligence and made us the laughingstock of the world. Our cities (or at least my city) is being terrorized by masked men with machine guns, no identification, paper license plates who are snatching “bodies” at car washes, taco stands and Home Depot. Including a father yesterday of three sons who served in the US Marines who was beaten by presumed Homeland Security/ICE/Border Patrol officers. A “hardened criminal” who had a landscape job and raised three men who served our country.
And all this serves to distract all of us from paying attention to the cruel policies - the so called Big Beautiful Bill - that will destabilize the most vulnerable in our country by cutting their health care, destabilizing or closing hospitals, cutting food stamps, cutting Head Start preschool for poor families - to provide tax cuts to the wealthiest in this country who don’t have to worry about these basic human needs.
Sorry to rain on this parade - I am deeply worried for this country
May I be the first to disabuse you of your concerns? Close your eyes, take three deep breaths, click your heels and come back to Auntie Em and the rest of us here in reality. Stop wallowing in the slough of despond. End your subscription to The Bulwark, quit watching MSNBC and regain your sanity. You're welcome.
Now the really hard part begins which is monitoring the Mad Mullahs to determine WHEN not IF they do what the NVA/VC did during bombing pauses and even temporary ceasefires and that is regroup/refit that will then require Israel and the US take action to stop their violations which everyone and their dog KNOWS they'll do.
When my sister and I argued, getting in the last word in spite of parental interference, was the tenacious goal. Imagine being in charge of worldwide “arguments” with lives and lands at stake in a never-ending conundrum conflated by deep seated religious beliefs. How many mortals possess such abilities. It would be like juggling babies and cobras together!
So much for Trump Always Chickens Out.
Hard decision made without wavering. That is what a leader does.
I totally agree and completely support my choice for President
I agree wholeheartedly.
Take note of which Wall Street hacks we're pushing TACOs--and the firms they work for.
You can bet their stock picks aren't any better.
Never Bet Against Trump.
NBAT might not have the same ring to it, but it might need to replace MAGA.
Keeping his promise.
I'm with you 100%.
My remaining concern is that N. Korea, etc. ships a fully functioning nuke to Bagdad.
I think China will keep "Little Rocket Man" in check, BUT, if that would happen, you KNOW Iran is a sea of molten glass!

Steve, I think you’re wasting your words on a bot — no, make that a wind-up toy.
Excellent advice for those on the left who want the US to become a Zimbabwean paradise…
If we truly lived in a dictatorship, you would not be able to make a statement like you just posted.
Someone has been watching a little too much MSNBC and CNN.
Now the really hard part begins which is monitoring the Mad Mullahs to determine WHEN not IF they do what the NVA/VC did during bombing pauses and even temporary ceasefires and that is regroup/refit that will then require Israel and the US take action to stop their violations which everyone and their dog KNOWS they'll do.
Fair point. But the Iranian jungle is less opaque than the Vietnamese one.

Great summary!! Bravo Trump and our incredible military!!!
