Winning . . . At What Cost?

THIS IS LIKE A SICK MERRY-GO-ROUND:
IF A NATION IS ALL ABOUT MONEY – WHAT IS THE SOCIAL VALUE OF THE NATION?

Trump Called Netanyahu “F-Ing” Crazy Amongst Other Insults . . . Why?

Because the Israeli Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) Wanted to Permanently End the Vicious Terrorist Attacks on the Only Jewish Nation on the Planet, at the Behest of the Iranian Mullahs and their IRGC, While Trump Wanted To Make A Deal.

How Does One Go-About Making Deals With An Enemy, whose Only Raison D’etre in the Entire World is to see your History, Religious Beliefs, Values & Country Totally Obliterated . . . Or As The Moslem Nations Of This Ilk Describe-It – Wipe Israel Off The Map?

But It’s Not Just Israel . . . Everything We In The West Believe – Must Also Be Eradicated.

TRUMP WAS RIGHT . . . IRAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON:

But Trump Was Also Wrong . . . The Only Endgame Should Have Been (Must-Be) Iran’s Total Surrender With Regime Change.

Going Back To June 13, 2025 . . . Israel Attacked Iran in Reprisal for the Never-Ending Terrorist Attacks on Israel, and Specifically on Israeli Citizens, Carried-Out by Hamas Palestinians & Lebanese Hezbollah, At The Financing, Training, Arming & Strategy Of The Iranian Regime.

On June 24, 2025 . . . After Just 12-Days Of Fighting – Trump Orchestrated A Cease Fire.

THIS IS LIKE A SICK MERRY-GO-ROUND:

In February 2026 . . . It Started all Over Again with Israel & The United States of America Pounding Iran’s Nuclear & Military Facilities . . . On June 19, 2026 – Against the Advice & Wishes of Netanyahu, Trump Entered into one of his Famous “Deals” . . . An MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) With Iran, To Set The Stage For Further Negotiations To Attain A Permanent Cease Fire . . .

What Kind Of Negotiation Is A Negotiation To Negotiate? . . . Either You’re In Or You’re Not.

NOTHING LESS THAN TOTAL VICTORY:

People In The Know . . . Including Battle Hardened American & Israeli Generals, Military Strategists, Skilled Diplomats, Historians, Iranian Citizens living in Iran, Iranian People living in Exile from Iran . . . And Most Of All . . . Israel – Made it Abundantly Clear that Iran Cannot Be Trusted . . . And The Best Strategy To Deal With Iran . . . Is To Finish The Job.

Soon After . . . America Ended The Fight, Specifically with the Intentions of Ending Iran’s Quest to Become a Nuclear-Armed Nation with Long Range Missiles . . . And to Help Implement the Subsequent Fall of the Iranian Regime, for the Purpose of Freeing the Iranian People from the Yoke of Islamism . . . But Remarkably – It Has All Of A Sudden Morphed Into Opening The Strait Of Hormuz.

What Happened To All The Other MOU Red-Lines?

After Taking Credit for Ending Iran’s Regime Leaders, and then Ending their Replacement Regime Leaders . . . Trump Declared that the New Leaders were Far More Civilized to Deal With . . . Oh Yeah?

TRUMP JUST CALLED THE NEW IRANIAN LEADERS SCUM, CUCKOO – ETC:

Sleep With Dirty Dogs . . . Wake With Fleas.

What Should Have Trump Expected from a Nation that Aids & Abets Terror Attacks Throughout the Civilized World, Orchestrated a Slaughter of Innocent Israelis (October 7, 2023), Murdered as Many as 40,000 of its Own Citizens for the “Crime” of Citizen Demonstrations?

WILL THIS IRANIAN FIASCO DEFINE TRUMP AS CHURCHILL OR CHAMBERLAIN?

I Strongly Suggest That Trump Find Better Negotiators Than Kushner & Witkoff.

Maybe Trump’s Business Partner Witkoff & Trump’s Son-In-Law Kushner are Great Real-Estate Developers, Getting Filthy Rich Trading In Billions Of Gulf Arab Investments Is A Personal Accomplishment . . . But What Have they Done to End the Gaza, Hezbollah Terrorist Campaign Against Israel . . . or Even to Stop or Moderate the Russia/Ukraine War?

And Then There Is JD Vance . . . What Has Vance Done To Bring Peace To Anywhere?

TRUMP JUST LEFT THE NATO SUMMIT IN TURKEY . . .

What Did I Come Away With From The Summit?

I Learned Directly from Trump’s Mouth How Much Respect the Thug Leader of Turkey Has for Trump, How Powerful is the Turkish Military, and How Turkey Deserves the American F-35, in Contrast to the Objections of Many in America’s Congress on Both Sides of the Aisle, Against the Advice of European NATO Members, As Well As Against The Strident Protestations Of Israel . . . America’s Only True Friend in the Middle East, and Only Ally Willing to Fight Alongside America’s Military.

With the Exception of Spain, which Trump Dismissed as a “Wasted Cause” . . . Again From Trump’s Mouth – There Was Love in the Room for America, and the NATO Wounds Over NATO’S Refusal to Get Involved in America’s War with Iran are all but Healed . . . But I Am Still Not Understanding Why NATO Countries, Vis-à-vis England, France, Germany – Etc . . . Are Still Not Committing Their Militaries To The War Against The Iranian Regime, With So Much Of Their Love For America.

WILL ISRAEL JOIN AMERICA IN THE COMING FIGHT AGAINST THE IRGC?

Trump Shunted Israel To The Sidelines, as Being Inconsequential Vis-à-vis the War Against the Iranian Regime, as if Israel was More or Less there as a Bench Warmer, with the Exception of America’s Military Leaders who had Nothing but Praise for Israel’s Military Abilities & Contributions.

Israel Said they Have No Intentions of Getting Into the War Against Iran, Unless Iran Attacks Israel . . . Or Unless Trump Personally Asks For Israel’s Participation.

Maybe Trump Should Ask His New Best Friend Erdogan To Join The War Against Iran, Since Trump is so Impressed with Turkey, In-Spite of Turkey’s Deep Involvement with Iran, Hamas, the Center of Activities for the Moslem Brotherhood, and the Imprisonment of Turkish Independent Media & Erdogan’s Political Opponents.

Maybe Turkey Will Stop Killing Kurds . . . And Maybe Turkey will Stop Threatening to Invade Jerusalem & Destroy Israel . . . As In The Words Of Erdogan’s Turkish Government . . . Israel Is Not Fit To Live Amongst Humanity.

Where Are We Going From Here? Your Guess Is As Good As Mine – But I Figure Nowhere Good.

  1. Shalom. Good column. Trump and his advisors are ignoring history, recent history, in dealing with the terrorists. You go all out or stay home to defeat this evil and vile people. Who is he afraid of? euro spineless trash? who? If he was not all in the beginning, why is he catfishing now? Either cut bait or fish. It seems he is proving to the world he is the paper tiger we feared. The whole world is proving they are spineless and gutless, including Canada, against the evil of islam.

  2. So many issues. Could schizophrenia and the mid terms be two of them ? Just beginning to wonder. Close the deal already !!

  3. Trump is starting to embarrass American voters, his on again off again war with Iran will lose the republicans the midterm elections when we can’t afford to, he needs to just finish the war with Iran, obliterate the whole damn place and be done!

  4. Wars are never ended by “a deal”. Wars are ended by to crushing of the enemy, followed by its surrender. The Trump gang is INCOMPETENT. “Winning” will require the takedown of the IRGC and that can only be achieved with “boots on the ground” – American and Israeli and whoever among the spineless NATO nations who want to participate in saving the world. For the record, it’s Donald Trump – blinded by his inastiable thirst for attention – and his Cabinet of yes-men who are “F-ing crazy”, n

  5. I’m with you, Perry. I might add that if the citizens of Europe and America cannot muster the courage to wage an all-out war against Iran’s murderous thugocracy, then the world will continue to be engulfed in a down-is-up/up-is-down moral quagmire that ensures ultimate victory for the forces of evil. If the American people had balked at “putting boots on the ground” 90 years ago, we would all be speaking German today.
