IF IRAN WAS SO DETERMINED TO “BADLY MAKE A DEAL” – WHERE IS THE DEAL?
Before You Get Upset With Me . . . Understand This – I Support Trump’s Decision To End Iran’s Reign Of Terror. I also Support Trump’s Decision to Call out the EU & NATO for Being the Phonies they are, Pretending To Be Guardians At The Gate, while in Reality, They Are Nothing Short Of Being Tempests In A Teapot.
I Understand Why the Europeans are Pissed-Off at Trump for Not Telling them About His Plans to Go to War Against Iran . . . But I Also Understand Why Trump Didn’t Want To Tell The European Blabbermouths In Advance, since, Had Trump Consulted the Europeans, the Sneak Attack on Iran Would Have Been an Open Story Before the First Bomb Dropped.
I Also Understand Why NATO & The EU Are Reluctant To Enter The Fray On The Side Of America & Israel . . . There Are Several Reasons Which I Can Discern.
In No Particular Order . . .
I Cannot Imagine the Rationale for Most (Any) European Countries to Spend Blood or Treasure to Defend Israel, even if Israel is Fighting their Battle . . . Especially from a Country like Iran, Which The Europeans Depend Upon For Oil, Gas & Money.
While It Is “True” That The Europeans Felt As If America Treated Them Dismissively By Keeping Them In The Dark . . . It is More True & Accurate (I Believe), that the Europeans were (Are) Far Happier for America & Israel to Do the Fighting for a Cause that will Make Europe and the Whole World Safer, While Europe Gets To Keep Their Manicured Hands Clean, Without Spending A Dime.
Also – One Cannot Dismiss a Reality which I Have Been Writing About Ever-Since Trump Started with his European Tariffs while Threatening Negative Trade Deals for Nations that Would Not Comply to His Demands.
It Was Never A Question In My Mind, that at One Point, there would be European Blow-Back. And Then There Is The Other Reality. People, Especially People who think they are the Cat’s Meow, like the Leaders of European Nations . . . Do Not like Being Insulted, Ridiculed or Spoken Down-To, Even If It Is Just A Negotiating Tactic.
I Have Never Been A Fan Of Europe . . . I Think of Europe as Being a Haughty Continent that Looks Down on the Rest of the World, as Europe Seems to Always Forget who Defended Whom Throughout Two World Wars, and then Helped to Rebuild Europe Afterwards.
And Let us Not Forget which Country Has the Greatest Influence on the Planet in Virtually all Categories – Which Isn’t Europe Or Any Single European Country – Yet, their Oversized European Egos Cannot Digest the Fact that Europe Stopped Being the Center of the Universe More than a Century Ago.
Needless To Say – Trump Was (Is) Right, When He Said America Does Not Need Europe, Specifically in Relationship to the American/Israeli War Against Iranian Moslem Extremism, And The Policing Of The Strait Of Hormuz.
NO ONE LIKES A FAIR-WEATHER FRIEND:
Because Of The War Against Iran’s Quest To Assert Its Nuclear/Missile Middle East Hegemony, Several Key Global Issues Have Changed Much of the World, in Ways that Could Not Have Previously Been Anticipated – Especially Concerning America’s Arrangement With Europe & NATO.
One Even Has To Question The Arab Gulf States, which Didn’t Escape the Wrath of Iran, as Iran Attacked all its Gulf Neighbors, Without Gulf State Retribution. And Given the Fact that these Gulf States Have Spent Billions of Dollars Buying America’s Best Military Equipment, while Acquiring American Technologies & Military Training – Where Have They Been In The Battle Against Iranian Regional Domination?
BACK TO TRUMP’S . . . HOW “BADLY” THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL:
Trump’s Vocabulary Seems To Be Stuck On How Many People Are “Badly” Wanting To Make Deals With America . . . I Don’t Buy-It. Iran Does Not Badly Want to Make a Deal with America (Trump), because if they Would, A Deal would Have Already Been Made.
What Iran Wants Is Time . . . A Deal Has Nothing to Do With-It as Long as Iran Can Keep the Negotiations Going, Creating a Semblance of Hope (False Hope), Which They Have Successfully Been Promulgating For 47-Years.
AS I SEE-IT . . . THERE IS ONLY ONE DEAL FOR IRAN – SURRENDER!
Deal Or No Deal . . . Iran Cannot Be Trusted.
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS REAL REGIME CHANGE – NOTHING ELSE WILL DO:
If Trump Walks Away With An Obama-Like Deal With Iran, even with an Elongated Nuclear Freeze (Respite – 20-Years) . . . the Life, Treasure & Hopes that were Part of the Unclear (Fuzzy) Objectives to America’s Strategy to Go to War Against Iran, will Have all Been an Enormous Long-Term Loss for America, Israel, the Iranian People & Global Freedom.
I Understand The Big Objective Was To End Iran’s Procurement Of Nuclear Weapons.
But I Also Understand America Campaigned to End Iran’s Long Distance Armory of Ballistic Missiles . . . Plus End the Financing, Planning, Arming & Use of Islamic Terror Proxies (Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Houthis – Etc) – Almost Exclusively to Murder Israelis & Destroy Israel.
And What About The Iranian People, of Whom Several Ten’s of Thousands were Massacred for Standing-Up to the Regime, because of the Pseudo Promise Made by Trump . . . That Help For Them Was On The Way.
I Will Draw Trump Back To His Favorite Poem – The Snake – Lest He Forgets.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Don’t forget the Islamic takeover of Europe. Most of the countries not helping Trump have almost turned the corner on becoming controlled by the Islamic population in them. Certainly the people in power need their votes to stay elected and don’t want to alienate that segment of their population so they are playing a political game and think that Trump and the US haven’t figured it out. I think NATO is in for a big shock, wouldn’t surprise me if US stopped or badly curtailed their support.
Ms Payne is right on, I believe it’s even more serious. The UK and Europe are overrun by Islamic invaders and terrified of retribution if they involve with the US and Israel in any way.
Same old, same old no guts in politics. The liberal gov here in Canada will fit in perfectly, just as they have over so may years. Now with a majority, the WEF protocol falls into place. My taxes are going to skyrocket. Please carney give what we have left away, I want to be a poor Canadian
Howard, I know of you since the days of Bill 101, when I was GM at Steinberg’s and found a columnist that I agreed with. I had dinner with you and our friend Perry in Florida and found that we agreed on MANY subjects. Following you by reading nearly every column. After reading todays column, I decided that somehow we are cloned. I agree with every point you just made. There is only one outcome for Iran, no matter what it takes, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
Iran must never have a nuclear program now or ever. If it’s a 20yr agreement, it will be worth the paper of all previous agreements – worthless. But what disappoints me greatly is that support for the 80 million + Persians against the Islamic Republic administration has received little but lip service. Trump claims regime change has happened so let’s move on. No, it hasn’t. New faces, same policies. Send the people weapons and videos or manuals on how to use them. They will do the job.
Yes , it is the only way to let those 80 million Persians liberate their own country. Give them the wapons and let them fight the basters. The USA and Israel can help them from the sky.
Iran is the financial sponsor of EVERY terrorist organized in the Middle East, get Iran out of business and you stop terror. The European are bent out of shape that Trump didn’t give them advance notice of the coming war, might as well put an add in the Financial Times. The Brits are saying “it’s not our war”, really? They must have forgotten who helped them in their Falklands war, bases, midair refueling etc and so on, was that our war? What about Kosovo, was that our war? Very sho
There’s so much bullcrap flying around I can barely see out my window. Thanks to millions of useful idiots staring at their i-phones all day, our unelected Liberal prime minister has been gifted a majority government, which in Canada is not far removed from a quasi-military dictatorship. He has already announced that he is dedicated to joining a New World Order, which is practically the same thing as declaring war on the United States. Buckle up – it’s gonna be a wild ride.
I am in full agreement . . . complete surrender and regime change! They cannot be trusted!!! They have proven that over & over. Remember, Persia was once a big beautiful country. I also agree w/ Ms Payne, above. Europe & Britain may already be past the point of no return due to their LIBERAL thinking. Remember the Ottoman Empire and the reason for the Crusades . . . it seems the European have forgotten that tid-bit of history. Canada isn’t too far behind.
